I have been diagnosed with HSV 2 for about a year. I’m currently experiencing a outbreak. It’s so uncomfortable. I know it’s my fault tho, I’m on valtrex and I do a terrible job at taking it on time or even at all. Then when I have a outbreak, I start feeling sorry for myself. Idk why I don’t take it. Maybe I’m still in denial about it. Any advice on soothing the pain and staying consistent?

Also, this is a struggle for me daily. I would love to make friends to talk about this with. Drop your social media handles if you feel comfortable.
