Newly diagnosed. I want to hear other people’s story’s and how their dating life is going now, the good and the bad, the reactions. I know there’s more to life than dating, but still.

I’m so frustrated I just got diagnosed with hsv2 despite being careful my entire life. I’m such an anxious person already and I know I’m not gonna be able to just disclose with someone because I’m worried of what they will think of me as a female, but I know I wouldn’t have sex without telling someone either. I feel like I’m never going to have a relationship with someone because of this. I have read lots of people’s posts on here who have found love after being diagnosed however I’m just going through a really shitty time finding this out. I’m so upset with myself

It’s not that I care about being turned down, I just don’t even wanna disclose that to people and people think I’m gross because of how heavy that word hits people. It’s just a lot for me, I’m already shy. I know a lot of people have it, I’m just so upset right now. I can’t stop thinking about it.
