Can’t cope with being positive for herpes

Beginning of 2018, I found out I was positive for genital herpes... I was no longer in a relationship with my daughter’s dad, and decided to get tested because I was in a new relationship. Found out I tested positive and I knew exactly who gave it to me. I can’t cope with what I have. Talking to people who don’t have it makes me feel more grossed out and disgusted at myself. I have thought about hurting myself and desperately feel like I need help. I cry when no one is watching because I don’t want my daughter specifically to see me this way. I am hurt and I don’t feel like I have a purpose.

Yes. I have dont the research and yes I know a lot of people have it and don’t know it. I just don’t know how to cope with this anymore.
