Whatever it is, the way you tell your story having support can make all the difference.
Being diagnosed with herpes is a very traumatic thing and life changing. In the beginning it is not an easy pill to swallow and you should not have to do this alone. Please seek help wherever you can to get the support and help you may need to make this process easier for you. There are resources out there please use them. There is no shame in going to counseling or joining a support group. The more support you have the easier it is to deal with your new diagnosis.
