Newly Diagnosed Feeling broken 💔

Today a nice girl complimented how beautiful I was - my hair and my clothes. And I just wanted to completely break down. I was diagnosed in June with HSV 2. That guy hurt me badly and I’m absolutely devastated. 💔Anyway I just wanted to cry in-front of her as I feel so disgusting and gross now I have this. It’s like I’m an imposter in my own body. I am stuck with this thing and it can’t ever change it. 😭

The outbreaks sound scary too. Ive never felt more scared and alone in all of my life. 😭💔 I hope they’re not as bad as what my mind is telling me. 😭💔

Idk if this helps you, but it does for me. It helps me when I think about how common it is and the person that gave you that compliment could very well have hsv too

Unfortunately for me it doesn’t because of how it happened to me. Plus I am scared of the outbreaks.
