Aid to others: I have HSV1....

First iwould like to start off with saying Ihabe had HSV1 since September 2012. When ifirst got diagnosed iwas so beside myself and so lonely feeling worthless feeling like iwas disgusting. My H giver who was my bf at the time denied that he ever gave it to me and called me all kinds of nasty names and saying iwas dirty and a whore. Granted ohad only slept with one other person for a year and a half before him and never caught anything. My H giver wasn't so kind and didn't hl to take care of me during this time. Iended up in the hospital with my first OB because the pain was so bad. For the first year iwas so totally broken and having OBs and getting them so bad istill had to work (iwas a server) and hard to walk at all.

This past year and a half Ihave only had one OB and ialways forget Ihave it till someone wants to be intimate and the. Idisclosed. Setes it's ALIL imtomading but something Ihabe come to realize if someone is going to judge me on a skin condition. Ihave that only flares up when im not taking care of myself then they arnt worth my time or effort. Ihabe learned toove myself, to take care oftself. Ihabe found that meditation works wondering for omes body , mind, and soul. It has helped me to controlt stress levels and focus on bettering myself. Love yourself for who you are all you flaws and brokenness....im greTful for getting H. It has helped me to make better life decisions and knowtself worth and to value myself.

If there anyone out there who is having a hard time and feel down or anything negative message me. Im going to make it a point to be on here more and try to help others on here like they have helpede especially in my first year. If it weren't for this support group idk how iwould have gotten threw my hard time. Feel free toes safe me im here for anyone and everyone

And if no one has told you or you have felt loved ilove you and will continue to love you until you love yourself even after iwill still love you ❤️

Hugz!

So glad to have you on board... we always welcome anyone who wants to support others here ... I try to be on as much as possible but it's good to know that if I can't get on, someone will be here to help those who are struggling to understand and accept their diagnosis :)

I have hsv1 too . I got it from my ex gf. She dumped me after she infected me. I don't have it genitally just oral. did you boyfriend also give you cold sore on your mouth when he didn't have an outbreak ?

WCSD thou were the one who truly helped me get over it and helped me threw it when ifelt so alone you helped me love myself.

Enlight no Ididnt get it on my mouth as far as Iknow but igot tested and was positive for genital HSV1 im sorry she dumped you after. Mine stayed with me and made me feel worthless and that no one else would love someone who has it and iwould forever be alone. It sucked but now im free and don't even think about it anymore if you take care of yourself you can control it without medicine
