I am not one that has been prone to depression but this recent diagnosis has effected me in two elemental ways that have got me so down I have barely eaten in 5 days, can"t sleep, and I walk around like the living dead. One, i must now come to terms with this and learn to live with it. Two, and the most emotionally devestating, is losing the girl of my dreams because of this. The hardest part of dealing with Herpes is questioning yourself if this reaction from girls is a foretelling of the rest of your life. that is a burden I cannot bare. throwing out a rope.

I would tell you that the feelings you are having right now are all totally normal at this point. Almost everyone seems to have them.

And you are right, you must come to terms and live with this challenge, just like you would with any other change that comes into your life.

I'm sorry you have apparently lost that gal you care about. That is something many of us can sympathize with, including those of us who don't have herpes. It happens. It sucks. It feels like shit. It seems like the end of the world. And it happens with and without herpes in the equation. Relationships fail all the time.

I think at the end there you are basically asking whether or not all girls in your future will reject you because of herpes. The answer is a clear "no."

There are many couples here with one partner who has herpes and the other who doesn't. I'm one of those. Have faith that you will find a girl who will see you for who you are. You are not herpes. Herpes is just a hitchhiker in your body that many, many other humans also have.

loss...I feel your pain. I have been here for 5 months now, and it's getting easier. I haven't had to tell anyone, yet, as far as dates go. I dread it. I think I am going to have to very soon. As far as depression and sleeplessness...I have issues now, too. I'm feeling pretty hopeless most of the time and have had to be medicated for high blood pressure (probably because of the emotional stress this has caused) and given Ambien to sleep. It IS getting better, though. I don't cry all the time any more.

Sisyphus,

I'm so sorry you are having a hard time right now. Give yourself the time you need to grieve, and eventually you will start to feel better, one day at a time. I was diagnosed about a week ago, and I did almost the opposite of what you did-all I wanted to do was sleep, eat, and drink wine. I couldn't even cry. Yesterday was my first day back at work (I'm a nurse) and I found it very difficult to concentrate and take care of my patients. Today, however, the sun is back out, my coffee tastes good, and I'm feeling a little better. You will, too, I promise.

As for other girls in your future, I had the same thoughts about other men in mine...I want so badly one day to fall in love, get married, have children, and you may want all of these same things. We can have it, I promise. One of these days there will be a girl who loves you SO much, and wants you SO much, that she will be willing to learn about herpes and accept it as one small part of a wonderful package-you.

Hope this isn't too mushy, but I also speak the truth. You will be okay.

      Looking for some insight on an atypical experience.

      By CHT · Posted

      Hello "NerdP423"..... well, you've certainly covered all your bases as it relates to testing for herpes.  And without question, the answer is clearly "No" you do not have HSV2.  Two Western blots and multiple swabs and IgG tests are all telling you the same thing... you don't have HSV2.  Also, almost all your symptoms are not remotely related to herpes.  I have not heard of anyone taking over a year, in spite of multiple testing, before they finally come up positive.... it makes no sense. I fear you may be obsessing on this virus and have somehow convinced yourself you have it.... despite your myriad of testing that says otherwise.  You need to try and calm your mind down as it relates to this virus.  If the symptoms you listed are still of concern, you should pursue answers from a doctor but, pushing for an HSV2 answer makes no sense at this point..... I hope you get some clarification on your symptoms but, again, you clearly already have your answer as it relates to HSV2.   Best of luck.

      Hi "Janiewayne"..... I'm sorry you got some not so good news regarding the virus but, glad you found this site.  How were you tested for the virus?  Was it a PCR swab of a sore/lesion?  It would be too soon to have an IgG antibody test if you believe your infection may have occurred as a result of the one night stand only a month ago.  Do you have a copy of the results yet?  Can you upload a copy so we can look it over.... sometimes things are misinterpreted so, it can't hurt to have others look over the results to be sure you have accurate results.  Have you had sores/lesions?  How soon after your sexual encounter?  Did they also test you for HSV1?  If so, what was that result. I know it's very unsettling (to put it mildly) at this stage.... but, I assure you, it will get better.  Never underestimate your ability to adapt to a new situation even if it's less than an ideal situation.  It is a relatively innocuous virus and only occasionally manifests and causes you any symptoms.... which can typically be drastically controlled with antivirals. I hope you will share your results and we can get an accurate accounting of what is going on.... take care for now.... one step at a time.

      Silly kids.  I find cheap healthy fix.  Fixes immune system.  Safe effective. .  I'm 20 years into health movement.  I finaly see it . Found doctor who gives free information.  Actually saves lives .  Seen best forgetting medicines. Works same as new doctors iv therapy's.    You have to fix your immune system.. no vaccine will do it. It injures immune system.   I know how to fix intestines . Gotta heal and plump thicken up.   Chasing money mans dreams buying deadly vaccines. no way vaccine will help you.   Need nutrion and raw milk diet or need like Gerson therapy diet... lots grapes can work . Actually grapes and raw milk best fir intestines...  milk make sick first cause it's detoxing bad bugs and body getting out of body.  Be healthier after words... only thing I know combat uossy stomach indigestion fast or drink to prevent eating junk is raw milk.   Intestines get thin dry up.  Milk plumps you back up.   Organs intestines new blood .     I got books on it from doctors... once in a while vaccines can trigger immune system to recognize fight cancer.   Any jabs specially covid jabs paralyze part of immune system then get cancer other problems.  Set disease free vs fighting it...       If you knew how they rig trials to pass drugs . If new I think Monsanto runs fda now.   Old ceo presidents of big pharma retire then work for fda.  They pass deadly drugs get sued.  Rename it then give bad drugs to people. very evil man...   stem cells better option.    I forget can find dive chambers.   Cheap hyperbaric oxygen chamber .  Push oxygen all through body juices and cells...  that should help.. heals old wounds and brain as well ... so cant lose there.  Can kill bugs viruses just sitting in a tank.  Do it for week or 3 days at a time.   Be around 250 a dive.   Best new medicine I've scene . New technology is to expensive.  45 grand but worth it if in Car accident brain injuries on wheel chair.  It get you walking again in few weeks.  Any way good luck. Where I would go and forget vaccines.  Eugenics people still exist.  They into medicines and vaccines.  Get educated you stay away from there medicines if you can. Lol.

Sex is bad get married .  Go get 50 zinc pills,  vitamin A 10 000 and D3 5000.  Take 1 A and 2 D3 with a zinc .  You be way better.  From modern medicine with real doctor and hospital.   Build killer white t cells. They can kill viruses... cells get thicker and slippery so hard to infect and contain infection .  You feel better tate away .  Out breaks be way better . Even quicker to no smells they can create . .  Fights it inside the body ... when it comes out body attack kill it ... in year might be no more out breaks . 6 months you see huge difference most likely...  best medicine backed by science.  Cheap effective...  zinc is just chemistry thing. Keeps mouth cleaner killing bugs . Helps prevent catching things through mouth juices slime... just chemistry virus ant gonna like being around.    That simple.  Your lucky I came back ...  doctor has virus killing iv therapy he uses from 1930s from Germany.  Old family practice from his  grand father  at least. Got all medical records of old treatments that work . He has modern stuff and figured out tricks to get success.  His kid take over after he is done . Can even take your blood add oxygen and vitamins and regenerate knee joints and treat arthritis.     Your lucky day man.   Like 30 bucks and have have around 2 months pills .  Cheap it work for everybody.   Pharma pills not even close.  Good luck ... 20 years looking at things . I got books on old best medicines treatments vegan to milk ... better today's treatments mist the time .  Very exciting .  Low vitamin d immune system don't work.  Run from vaccines unless think got rabies.   Vaccines kill you if low on vitamin d .. lol.   Gotta have immune system to fight vaccine to make antibodies...  old doctor said only people got cancer was vaccinated people.   Back when doctors could have a say and not moderated.  Lol.

      Gotta fix intestines to improve immune system.  That is grass fed raw milk ...  all there magic potions will always compromise your immune system...  you just need 2 vitamins and a mineral . Body produces virus killer cells ...  fighting the virus when it comes out to play.   Shedding dont matter... gonna shed the body is getting rid of virus to get healthy. Detoxing basically. Better out than injected into your blood stream infecting you...  just take building blocks.  Body fights it 24 hours a day .  After year you be almost cured . Lot better . 2 years might be no problems.    Never trust big pharma.  They selling expensive products.  Thay dont work usually.   I only came back cause I actually found doctor free advice . Doctor saved lives from bugs viruses.  Regular doctors left them to die period .  Exciting man. I be more excited but I got other problems and damages.  Lol. I figured it out.   Be fool to try virus iv as well.  It can fix immune system problems cause body attacks virus but it attacks you in process...  taken me about 20 years.  Finally put it all together...   vitamin d  is low you die of covid or col flu .  You hardly get sick or catch anything if vitamin d is high enough...  vitamin d is low your immune system don't work or not good enough .  Guess what happens if got a safe vaccine regular cold? If low on vitamin d  your immune system cant fight the vaccine and build immunity.  You may die in few days or week... vaccine cant even work unless you have healthy immune system... lol.  Vitamin d deficiency...  add vitamin a and d3.  Cell walls get thicker and slippery . Hard to infect and contains infection ...   pretty cool man ...  everybody is low on vitamin d in winter.  We get colds and flu season.  Not enough sun shine ... simple world made complicated... doctor backed what I am saying with patients testimony he saved treating other bugs viruses.   Take care ... I'm excited to help. Out nothing for trying .  Might cost you 30 bucks for couple months of pills ... lol.
