How do I feel comfortable in my body again after contracting Herpes?

Hello everyone, please don’t be too hard on me. This has been an emotional rollercoaster for me finding out this news. I’ve only ever had 2 sexual partners and I’m 25 years old. One was from years ago who I was planning on marrying and then he became physically and emotionally abusive so I left him. The relationship gave me PTSD so I haven’t dated in a long time. The other is a really sweet guy I’ve been seeing for two months now. 10 days after sleeping together I started getting ulcers on my vulva. (Skin around vagina) I was tested immediately and came out positive. I’m so heartbroken and upset because I’ve always been so responsible and didn’t whore around. How am I ever suppose to feel comfortable in my own skin or even consider having sex again? I feel so dirty and disgusting. I just don’t know what to do... Does anyone have helpful advice to get me through this rough patch in my life? Thank you and please no nasty comments.

  • ''I’d feel a lot more comfortable if this was something I could cure but it’s not.''

    Most of the things people think have no cure, are only the case because only something natural can resolve it, therefore there is no money in it. This is how you are going to feel more comfortable, but you will need an open mind to do so.

    Read the book ''The miraculous results of extremely high doses of the sunshine hormone vitamin D3 my experiment with huge doses of D3 from 25,000 to 50,000 to 100,000 IU a day over a 1 year period'' This will give you an understanding of where I'm coming from.

    Our bodies are designed to cure all sorts of illness, but due to a lack of understanding, and over reliance on chemicals, they are rarely given the resources and building blocks they need to do so.

    Studies already show a close link between recurrent herpes and low vitamin D3 levels.

  • HI there. Very sorry to hear of your predicament. HSV2 is no picnic and can also really bring one's self esteem down.
    Because of the way you feel about yourself right now, i would highly suggest getting in to see a counselor. A good one can do wonders for you.
    A lot of people have it, including me. The good thing is it can be controlled and the breakouts lessened to nothing. The bad is that now you have something no one wants and you have to kind of look in new areas for dates.
    Good luck with it. Remember you are still a beautiful person (inside and out).
    Message me if you want.

  • Sue him

    • Why would I do that?

    • Because he knowingly gave you herpes

    • When did I ever say someone intentionally gave it to me? I’m pretty sure it’s from the guy I’m currently seeing since I had the breakout 10 days after our first time sexually together. Sometimes people are asymptotic with herpes so they wouldn’t know. The guy I’m seeing is going to get tested on his next day off of work.

  • Just realize Stds are more common than you think, hell I got chlamydia from my ex, then turned around and got back with her again and got HPV, shit happens to us all even if we don't sleep around ourselves. Granted mine were curable/not deadly, but that relationship definitely ended.

    All you can do is start seeing a doctor and getting treatment, I'm sure they have plenty of similar stories as well

    • That’s my thing. I’ve feel a lot more comfortable if this was something I could cure but it’s not. I feel so lost right now. The guy I’m seeing is being really supportive about this but I just feel disgusting in my own skin. He still hasn’t gotten tested for it because he currently doesn’t have insurance and needs to go to a free clinic when he isn’t working. It’s just so nerve wracking... the thought of having sex again makes me sick...

    • Oh ya I get that I'm nervous to have sex again too, got some bumps on my dick, I'll have HPV forever but bumps will go, but my partner can get vaccinated so she'll never get it, thankfully. It's still nerve-wracking topic I get that

    • I’m sorry that you’re going through a similar situation. 😞 The guy I’m seeing still hasn’t gotten testing done since he needs to get to the free clinic on his day off. Does that mean he could possibly not have it? I got the ulcers 10 days after our first time We slept together. I’m just so confused on how it even happened. I was careful. 😞
