Hello everyone, I was just diagnosed with herpes yesterday. I feel like my whole world is shutting down and I also feel super dirty as well. I’m supposed to start college in a few weeks and I was looking forward to it but now I feel like everything is ruined because of this diagnosis and I don’t know what to do. I also think that no one will ever want to love me now since I have this disease and I feel like they’ll think of me as a dirty slut. I don’t know what to do honestly, I didn’t think this would even happen since I used protection when having sex. I am so lost and I could definitely use some kind words of support.
Hi and I felt the same way when I was diagnosed. I’m glad this forum is here. What works for me is having a licensed therapist. You can find therapists online by going to psychologytoday.com. I tried to enter the whole link but the post didn’t work. Good luck to you and remember, we are here. I am 70 and have been living with herpes since 1989. Try not to despair. We are stronger together!
