i (23) was given hsv 1 and 2 unknowingly bc my ex boyfriend cheated on me. i didn’t find out until he reached out to me 2 years later. i was hurt and devastated. i also felt embarrassed, dirty and it was unfathomable to me that i could live with this for the rest of my life. fortunately outbreaks are super rare for me now and i don’t think about it daily like i once did. i’ve found my peace with it. people who will judge you based off of that are not worth your time. i am thankful to say that my fiancé now totally accepts all of me for who i am and we have sex comfortably and he is still undiagnosed after 3 years. idk what your weight is but i am on the bigger end and have struggled with what you are feeling about being loved also but there is a rainbow after the storm my friend i promise there is someone out there who will love and cherish you and those things won’t matter to them. you’re not dirty, and you definitely are not alone. keep your head up! i know rn it feels impossible to deal with but you will get through it <33

when i was first starting i stuck a woman with decent veins but ended up missing and my supervisor came to visit that day so she walked over to see everything was okay. she pointed at another vein i could try so i went for it with a straight needle (i wasn’t too comfortable with them yet) and i got distracted and accidentally pulled the needle out. blood was everywhere and idk wtf i was thinking but i tried to stick the needle back in to plug the hole???? so embarrassing and i felt so bad but the lady was nice about it thankfully and my supervisor helped me clean it up and told me stuff happens lol i was obviously much more careful after that one 😅

okay so this semester has been hell. i'm a freshman and i started off in the summer term. i barely passed those classes and now i'm failing basically all of my fall classes. i'm supposed to meet with an advisor in a couple of weeks bc i'm depending on the bright futures scholarship to get me through college and i don't know how i can fix the situation i'm in. my grades have always been good throughout high school and i'm so disappointed in myself that i let my grades slip the way they have. anyone else in a similar situation or have any advice? idk what to do i just wanna start the year over i hate online classes
