I am truly distraught. I am a 21 year old man and a girl I was sleeping with who I trusted had it and I contracted it. At first I was mad at her but neither of us can do anything about it and just need to except our futures. I feel like I’m going to throw up and I have a horrible outlook on the rest of my life. I really don’t know what to do. I try to find positives (lol) in my life and I every time I try to think of something positive or literally even the word positive I start tweaking mentally, can’t do anything. I am truly disgusted at myself, I’m good looking (apparently) but when I look in the mirror I am disgusted with myself. I’m sorry if this isn’t a positive post but I’m kinda just venting, if any veterans with HSV have any advice it would be much appreciated. I haven’t told my parents yet and I’m really afraid to tell them. They are relatively accepting but they’ve tolerated so much bullshit that I’ve put them through. I’m overall just lost, I can’t get through a day of work without feeling butterflies (idk if that’s the feeling) in my stomach. Please if you have any advice it would be greatly appreciative because as of now I feel like my life is over. Sorry for the disorganized post, I rarely post on Reddit but felt like I couldn’t talk to anyone about it really. Thanks for y’all’s time :,(
