Okay see...today...is one of those days

Somedays I feel really upbeat and I'm like...pssshhh...this is nothing. It's SO common. You got this girl!

THEN, other days (like today) I just get very depressed and sad and I cry.

I dated someone for a long time (long enough to reveal) that he in fact had herpes. It makes me so sad because I feel like not only did he not love me but he had no respect for me as a person or my body.

Today, just for now...I'm sad. Tryin to keep my head up, but dam this is hard.

I was feeling like that last night, I cried so much and I was just feeling really down for some reason. But I'm feeling much better today! I feel like I have a better control on my emotions lol. Hang in there girl

I understand. The parts that get me the hardest are the contagious and forever ones. I still can't see how people say that this is no biggie.

I actually had a moment like that today I have been crying looking at my sister with her kids (don't have any yet) and feeling like I will never find someone who will be with me. I'm hoping this gets better my depression is in full swing today

Gatorman, I totally feel you! Uggg. It's like a haunting feeling somedays I tell ya. You are not alone in this world!!

Yeah, I try not to think about the "forever" part of it. Haha. Also, I know it gets better as we age (so we have that) Thank God! And honestly, even though we might have it forever it might not be as big of an issue for us forever. We're so lucky to be living in the grand age of research and technology...who knows.

What I feel really helps me is just remembering to take it day by day. Seriously, just take it one day at a time. Somedays I feel great and other days (like the day I posted this thread) I want to cry in a deep dark hole somewhere and never come out. All we can do is live each day the best that we can and take care of ourselves the very best that we can. Tomorrow is not promised for anyone! Would I prefer to be living tomorrow without herpes then with it?! Yeah! Hope is this helps...we're all in this together!! It's gonna get better for us

I can TOTALLY relate!! It's scary but everyone keeps telling me that when the RIGHT person comes a long that won't matter and they will find a way to make it work! It's going to get better girl and the RIGHT man WILL come along for you girl! Don't settle!
