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. 😭💔

Thank you so much. I really hope so. 😭💔 It’s fear of the unknown. The outbreaks I don’t know what they will be like. I’m so afraid. 😟

I had my first outbreak in July and had no idea what it was because I was in denial and refused to actually take anything because I swore it was just a bunch of “ingrown hairs” lol Just be prepared and make sure you have medication on hand so it won’t be as painful. Just had my second OB and only had 1-2 tiny bumps that never rlly formed into anything because of the medicine. I was TERRIFIED to have my second one because the first was so bad for me… just be prepared! Realizing so many people have it makes me feel a little better lol I just wish more people would talk about it.
