So, I made this post anonymously because I’m extremely paranoid. I was recently diagnosed with genital herpes and my world seems to be upside down ever since. I no longer feel like myself. I feel ugly I never had self love issues prior and now I hate myself I’m very angry. I had a VERY VERY bad primary outbreak I was hospitalized and catheterized. I feel like nobody will want to be in a relationship with me once they find out so I just have a lot of anxiety. I’ve always wanted to be a mom so I feel like my dreams are crushed and I also feel extremely alone and I know I can’t possibly be the only person who has it 1 in 6 people do but I just feel like I have nobody to relate to because I personally don’t know anyone with it. I feel like when I meet new people I have a ⚠️ symbol on my forehead that says “childhood trauma,rape and genital herpes” I’m uncomfortable in my own body. I lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks. I just feel dead inside so if anybody has anything to share they feel will help go for it 🙏🏽♥️
