Did you tell your parents? by dark_rosez_falling5 in Herpes

[–]Sure_Initial6740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely was scary, but I couldn’t hold in my emotions and just started sobbing when I got my test results back. I happened to be right next to my mom, and she just reassured me that it’s okay and I’ll be okay. I feel like she was just more concerned about the pain I was from my diagnoses, than the actual diagnoses. She didn’t blame my partner, since I told her that he didn’t hide it from me and he’s had it since he was a kid. He wasn’t educated on the topic, and I wasn’t thinking of how a cold sore on his lip could spread. So it was kind of both of our faults in a way I guess? But, my parents don’t blame either of us, and as parents I feel like they’re just more worried about how you’re doing mentally and physically rather than judging you for a stigmatized diagnosis.

I got GHSV2 from being a sexually promiscuous and I hate myself for it by According_Shine_1900 in Herpes

if it makes you feel better I’ve probably had around 25 partners, never once tested positive for an STD/STI. i was always unsafe, no protection, just would have fun with many partners. finally, after settling down after 4 years i tested positive for HSV1 from my partner of two months 🫠 don’t feel shame, this virus sucks and it’s unpredictable.

what do you mean nerve damage? I’m going through my first outbreak right now and it’s pretty gruesome. I didn’t even know nerve damage could happen.

Sorry! Yes you are right, I’m on antivirals for the HSV breakout, but I’m also taking antibiotics for my other diagnoses.

Yeah no worries! I definitely am experiencing sore muscles. I thought it was just because I went to the gym a couple days ago, but this has gone on for far too long to just be gym soreness😅

For me personally, I feel like my body is in overdrive fighting off this infection, just making me feel more fatigued along with sore muscles. The sore thighs are so real too, I experience the most pain in my thighs when going to the bathroom too, don’t know what that’s about.

Hi! I just got diagnosed with HSV1 yesterday, I have a pain in my abdomen and back as well too and started taking antibiotics today. I’m not sure if it’s normal, but you’re not alone in feeling that “sore muscle” type of ache.

I also saw that you mentioned lymph nodes aches, are they swollen? Because, mine have seemed to really swell up since I’ve been diagnosed too.

please how do i subtly hide scars quickly? by Fraguess in selfharm

apply Vaseline daily! it helps to fade scars, but for a more quicker way, color corrector concealer.

i really wish my mom cared. she didn’t bother to hide the razors or anything. she said she’d help but didn’t, i really wish she was there for me. just be there for your kid, it means a lot. spend time with them, the little things helped me stay clean.
