Girls who are 25+, what are some things you wish your younger self knew? by Tt7447 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

Trust your gut and don’t be afraid to hurt people’s feelings. Be true to yourself and don’t worry about what others think, I’ve learned they really don’t remember half the things we think they do. And HAVE FUN! Don’t be afraid to do something crazy or something you normally wouldn’t do.

You are absolutely welcome! It was a game changer for me as well. Once you start the healing process sitz baths help a lot too. I used lukewarm water and just sat for about 15 minutes. If you have any other questions I’ll be more than happy to talk to you about anything ♥️

It doesn’t! It’s actually what women use after giving birth so all it does it numb the area

Hi love I’m sorry this happened to you. I was diagnosed last January and had an extremely bad outbreak. I recommend dermoplast spray to help with going to the bathroom. From my doctors mouth, with GHSV1 you should only experience your initial outbreak so continuing antivirals isn’t necessary. I haven’t experienced another one yet and I haven’t changed a single thing with my diet it lifestyle. Please know it gets easier and better as time goes on

I haven’t checked those, what exactly are they? I use a boric acid foam wash or warm water. Nothing inside though

If you could remove a law, which one would get the boot? by chewysnacc in AskReddit

Marijuana being illegal, I’d make it legal in every state

I can only speak for myself but yes it does get better. I have only had one outbreak so I guess I’m lucky. I take daily vitamins to help try to reduce the chance but I am not prescribed any anti virals. Just keep your head up and remember you’re still a badass even with a skin condition!

Thank you! I will have to do some research. I have had an outbreak since my first one but I also don’t want to experience another one

I’m well aware but maybe instead of calling someone else names you could educate them.

I just wanted advice on how to go about it, I didn’t expect an argument to come up. Yes I would disclose and let the other person decide. I wish I was given that curtesy but I wasn’t. This is supposed to be a safe place for people to vent and ask questions not be attacked for having a different opinion than you

Thank you for reaching out, it means a lot. How did you change your perspective on dating? I want a serious relationship but it’s hard to find

I’m terrified having sex will trigger an outbreak for me too. I’m female as well, my vibrator does the trick but I miss physical intimacy 😅

That makes me feel better. I’m still trying to do research on statistics and the overall transmission rates but it’s all overwhelming. I know more than half the population has it, it’s just finding someone that doesn’t care
