ok. this post is for all of you people that are down on yourselves because you have gential herpes. i too have gential herpes that i contracted a few short weeks ago but in that time i have lost the absolute love of my life and sent the virus to my face and right eye. I was so nervous about having herpes that i was always touching my pelvic region to see if i could feel for lymph nodes. little did i know i was actually putting the herpes virus on my fingers.

the whole story starts on a drunken night when i made the mistake of sleeping with a person i didnt know unprotected. withing a few days i had all of the symptoms of a herpes infection. i went to go see my love and i had to tell her what had happened. she handled it well at the time but once i left she had no tolerance for me. i made her go from loving me to hating within 24 hours. that is not so easy to do. on my way back from seeing her i was so nervous about having herpes that i was always feeling my groing region for lymph nodes. by doing that i some how contracted it to my face.

now i am left with a completely crushed heart and a future that guranatees my loneliness. i am so screwed. i have been drunk since realizing the herpes is on my face and i dont want to tell everyone i am going to kill myself, because i want that to be a surprise. my life is ruined but for you that managed to keep it on your genitals you are actually lucky because you know that you will only have to deal with it there. you will be able to kiss your children, you will be able to hug your parents, you be able to kiss your significant others... all without worry.

i wish i could be with you guys.

things will get better, I promise

You have dealt with A LOT of emotional (and physical) trauma in the last few weeks. When highly emotionally charged events happen, it always seems like the end of the world in the beginning. THINGS WILL GET BETTER :) You need time to heal, physically and emotionally. The sores will go away, and yes they will probably come back but you will learn to deal with it. Plus your first outbreak is usually much worse than subsequent outbreaks. You can't give up. I would suggest scheduling an appointment with a psychologist in addition to joining a herpes support group in your area. Educate yourself about herpes before making any life altering decisions. There are tons of people out there with the same problems that you have - you're not alone. You just need someone to talk to that understands what is happening to you.

Be strong

listen to me bro life is not over. I had the same feelings as you. But there are like 100 mil people in the US that have herpes. One of them will love you. The side effects will go away and you will lead a good life. The sides will come back but u can surpress them. And with a healthy life style u may not see them as much as you think. Keep your head up and dont do anything rash, No pun. Dont ruin ur families and freinds life by doing something stupid and thinking this is the end of the world. Be strong and pull through. Pm me if u need to talk.

While I don't have any experience (as far as I know of, Lord knows that could change) with spreading it from my genitals to face... I do understand having to tell someone you love immensely what has happened and they may be at risk too.

He won't speak to me, and he's left the state for a few days. Honestly my main concern beyond myself is that he may have herpes now. If he does or doesn't, I'm fairly confident in saying he will most likely never speak to me again. Lovely feeling.

Stay strong, this is not the end of your life. Like someone above me replied, there's no way you're never going to find someone to be with with the great number of people in the US that also have genital herpes. But I know how you're feeling, because I'm going through it too.

Hey man, hang in there... And go to A.A. if you have to... I don;t think getting hammered is going to help you any. If anything, it is going to make you feel worse being that is a depressant.

Unfortunately, I may have did the same thing to my face. not sure though.,,

I have lost loves in the past and got hammered over it... in fact, i cried for a couple months and then went on some anti depressants.

I have a daughter to take care of... i just need to pray and look into things that can help me... I have not yet gone to the doc and am trying natural stuff Tea Tree Oil (do not get this near your eye) garlic cloves, L Lysine, Prunella Vulgaris, and Astragalus... (if anyone knows where to order Prunella vulgaris cheap, please let me know.)

I have had limited success with these... I am awaiting an order from the Biogetica website... I bought the nosodes liquid stuff,,, Not sure if that even works.

Just hang in there man. I will say a prayer for you sickofworrying.

God bless you,

Jason

Dude, Dude get a gripped. Herpes is not the end of the world, it will not kill you. The first outbreak is always the worst for mostly everybody because your immune system is not use to Herpes yet. Trust me the rest of obs are a piece of cake. I am going through my second day of my second ob & already starting to clear up. That is because my immune system remembers my first ob. All you need to do is keep your immune system strong. Dude you have a few irritating blisters that will go away with time & as time goes the less you will get obs & the less severe they will be.

Desperate you are truely cool person. I raise my glass of coca-cola to you.

Also yes the longer you have herpes the less the symptoms are after 5 years 80% of people reported very mild ob's in a recent study.

      I’m super confused I need answers

      By Hiitsmeimtheproblem · Posted

      To give some context I hve been suffering with this for the last 6/7 years this came about after I had varicella zoster on the inside of my body a week after I started getting clusters of spots on the top of my buttock they are not painful as such can be itchy at times but majority of the time I don’t feel it when I have an outbreak. I’ve been to various doctors who say it’s a fungal skin infection or a bacterial skin infection. I’ve asked if it’s herpes but they will say it’s not without even testing it.

      Blister on butt from sitting extended and excessive sweating

      Hello there @momma267 and welcome. There is no reason to believe that what you have there is other than a pressure sore, something that has emerged from rubbing with clothing or butt cheeks and exacerbated by bacteria or yeast.  Note that the first you’d learn of herpes is unlikely to be on your butt, instead where it enters your body, this is usually within the vaginal lips for females.

      Blister on butt from sitting extended and excessive sweating

      So to begin with, I am 26 and have been with the same partner for 8 years. I have only been with three people ever, one completely protected and the other we were both our firsts. I got this rash on my but while pregnant and my doctor said she was testing for it and I'm so confused. I've had two babies, breastfeed, and never had anything as much as a cold sore. Does this look like something anyone has experienced? I used fragrant soap down there and am hoping it's contact dermatitis or a heat rash from sweating and gaining so much weight.  Advice would be helpful. I'm stressing out a bit as I am pregnant.

      top lip bumps

      By harrygauff · Posted

      Hi, it is me again, apologies for the recent influx of posts. I've noticed a slightly raised area on the middle of my top lip with what i feel are some bumps. i do have a habit of biting my lips a fair bit and this area is frequented by my teeth. I haven't noticed any unusual/abnormal tingling or burning or pain sensations. the photos are a bit difficult to focus on them but do these seem like the start of cold sores? note: I will be visiting the drs for an std checkup in the coming week. https://imgur.com/gallery/YLVA5us
