So happy

At first when I was diagnosed with type 2 last year, I was so depressed. I didn't know who to turn to or how to live a normal life again. I had a bad outbreak with all the symptoms the first time but now their so mild that it doesn't bother me. The hard part was finding love. I was single and I felt scared to tell anyone. Finally I told my best friend and she never looked at me different. I found out that some of my friends had it too... I reunited with my old boyfriend in high school.and we were starting to date and make things official.... So I had to tell him... I told him and guess what? He was fine by it. He said that he doesn't care and he loves me and always will and wants to marry me next year... I was so relieved that he didn't leave when I mentioned the h word... But all people aren't ignorant!!! Thank God ;)

New sufferers don't let a lil thing like herpes break you down because when life throws lemons, make lemonade!! The pain will become lesser and your attitude toward it will change to a positive. As long as you have at least one person you can talk to about it, it will be a lot easier to deal with it. Live laugh love
