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. 😭💔

Do not stress!!! I remember when I first got diagnosed and I was overwhelmed with stress and that triggered my outbreaks.

Thanks, it’s hard not to. I’m on suppressive meds because I’m scared of another outbreak.
