I was diagnosed 5 years ago. It hasn’t gotten easier. I went from crying everyday in the beginning to trying to forget it happened. Every once in awhile the feelings will come back & im devastated all over again. I just feel like this wasn’t supposed to happen to me. My boyfriend at the time cheated on me with 3 women. The worst part is he was my first everything i loved & trusted him, and what i got in return was this. I was only 18😔 the years all my friends were finding themselves i spent running & hiding from myself. I can’t tell any new men that come into my life in fear of rejection. I’ve just been so sad & especially sad for the younger version of myself. I want a husband and kids one day, i just feel like that dream of mine was ripped from me. I try to look for encouragement on google about finding love with herpes, but a lot of it is depressing. Everyday i wish i could go back in time. I just don’t ever see myself accepting this.
