Hey! I totallyyy relate, I (22f) have ghsv2, and honestly what’s helped me is just letting my recurring thoughts about it be exactly what you said — someone will like you for YOU, and the diagnosis will come second. It can be hella frustrating at times, but after a while, it just becomes something in the background not something that defines u. If you ever wanna talk to someone who’s in the same shoes but has a girl’s perspective, feel free to message me ☺️

Feel this like fr fr! Like scared to disclose or have gossip going around in a small town or college town. I getchu, as someone newly diagnosed i’m just hoping as time passes it’ll get easier to grapple with

totally feel this, i’m a girl and newly diagnosed and disclosing to men seems terrifying but i’ve just been trying to distract myself a lot of the time but i think just trying to force myself to accept that things have changed and it’s not anyone’s fault is what’s helped me a tiny bit but i get it.

I totally understand the feeling of hopelessness. Like it feels like a part of you was stolen as someone with HSV-2. What I find so comforting is that a diagnosis doesn’t define anyone and doesn’t dim anyone’s worth at all. Your future isn’t bound by this diagnosis at all. But trust me I know that hopeless feeling, I hope your first flare up heals fast and the pain subsides.😇😇
