I'm On Emotional Breakdown.... Posted: 06-10-06 13:55pm
Hello i'm 18 years old striving to become
a doctor planning to enter med school at
21...I'm a smart straight a student with a
nice life and a great bf...But now I felt
everything was ruined.....Was diagnosed to
have hsv-1..Simply speaking I have oral
herpes...And i'm on my first outbreak..My
whole mouth, tongue, and gums are so sore
that eating feels like hell to me..I
already went to the doctor and got my
prescription yesterday he prescribed
acyclovir but I stil don't know when will
I be better..I am always
crying..Always..Because i'm a good
person...So good that I never go to public
parties...And I don't know anybody that I
got this from...I never kissed anybody but
my bf my dad and mom for the last well I
see 3 months...All of them don't have
it...So who can I possibly have
it...Everytime I look into the mirror I
felt so ugly, so dirty inside..I don't
know what to do...I haven't told my bf
yet...And I will be devastated...If our
perfect relationship would change because
of this....So if anyone can please help
and get me through this....This is so hard
for me....

You can get herpes way before your first
outbreak, you probably have had it for
awhile and just didnt know it. And as
your relationship goes its okay when your
not having outbreaks and just explain that
to him( I know this because my parents
have herpes and I share drinks with them
and I dont have it) but they say there is
a small chance that your can spread it. I
dont know though you shouldnt feel ugly or
stupid, just go on with life, it will not
ruin your career and I say you're heading
in a good direction. I would probably be
upset too but they havent found a cure
yet, so you have to just accept that its
not going to go away!(not being rude) dont
be irresponsible with it tho, like the one
who spread it to you, let your boyfriend
know and if he leaves you thats his issue
not yours someone will accept the fact
that you have it and be with you
anyways.!! Good luck
