18 Years Old, in Pure Pain, Physically & Mentally...

by Ann

It hasn't been 24 hours yet since the doctor told me. I’m terrified, heartbroken and cold. I’m young, very young. 18 years old and I've barely scratched the surface of my life. And now I’m told this.

My boyfriend is being very supportive but just as or more confused as to how it happened. He's healthy and I've never truly had a problem. Although my visits to the doctor are not up to par with his I’m still in the dark as to whether I really have this. I suppose it's his denial getting to me. He keeps telling me "no no no" but I know I`m sick. You know that gut feeling, where you end up right? That's what I have and its probably the most painful feeling ever. It’s heartbreaking.

I don’t know how this has happened and unless my boyfriend comes back positive, I may not know. Nothing makes sense. My dreams have truly been crushed with the possible news. I’m scared; I can't stop crying and can't help but feel absolutely disgusted with myself. I've always been careful. But after reading all on this site and others, careful just doesn't seem like enough. . . Dreamed of joining the military, working at it for almost two years all through high school. It’s all come tumbling down.
Now I sit here and wait for the possible call confirming my worst fears. “if we call them you'll know, but if we don’t; don’t worry about it ".

That's what the doctor said to me while I laid there and cried myself into having a headache. I’m angry and scared all at once. I don’t like this. Not one bit!

Dear Ann:

Hang in there. Sorry for the delay putting your story up.

So how did the test go?

If you do get genital herpes, it’s not the end of the world. Even though there is no cure, it`s a minor skin condition and is completely treatable with medication.

There`s lots and lots of tips all over this website on how to live with this little virus.

You can find love. Have sex.

Even join the military. All of these things are not a big problem, you`ll just have to be honest with people and be careful sexually.

Gary
