Has anyone tried an Oura ring to help manage and to possibly predict outbreaks?

I’ve heard people say that it can predict the flu and a cold, so I was wondering if it’s possible that it can predict an outbreak before it happens. Then you can start antivirals before you even have any symptoms. Has anyone given it a try or have one? I have been wanting to get one anyway so I’ll try it out and report back to you guys if it helps!

Funny story that might cheer yall up.

This is just kind of like a laugh at ones misery and also look at how insane life can be story.

So when i was a kid there was a large group of my parents friends whose kids i knew at the country club in our neighborhood. We all took sports together and swam at the pool and had summer bbqs.

Anyway there was this one kid who was always kind if an ass to me. Like classic annoying little boy who had way to much energy and just like pushed me around snd pestered me.

Fast forward 20 years later and we are both living in a totally different state snd close by. He hits me up and asks me out. We ended up dating for a couple months but i broke it off because i wasn’t attracted to him enough. Nothing actually wrong with him i just wasn’t into it :/

Anyway break up fast forward a week or so later… i get diagnosed with genital herpes. Now for context we didn’t have sex. I actually haven’t had sex for 10+ years. The guy that gave it to me gave it to me likely through a cold sore when we were both young and dumb. It laid dormant for OVER TEN YEARS!!! never had a symptom once. What finally brought it on was when i got salmonella then started vaping. That combo caused me to loose hair and finally have an outbreak.

Anyway. Tonight he texts me he misses me. While i am laying i my bed with cream all over my ass and lady bits trying to dry out while also free bleeding on a towel from my period…. 🙃

Its just like so surreal. Im was dating this kid that i knew from my childhood who i was convinced hated me. Now he misses me and two days ago i got diagnosed with herpes.

I saw a meme the other day that said. Of you told your Younger self what your life is like right now they would call you a lair.

Yes. Yes i would.

Truly positive dating experiences?

I posted in r/women when i first found out yesterday. The amount of positivity was overwhelming. I am very grateful to everyone that commented. They really made me feel like it was going to be okay.

But the positivity was so overwhelming i felt like maybe they were just trying to cheer me up. Is it true? Can people really find people that are okay with the person they’re dating having herpes? Please PLEASE share some experiences if you have some. Its so hard to believe. Honestly after learning so much about it i wouldn’t care if it was the other way around. But i cant imagine it for me. Maybe its because i hate myself so much right now. Maybe it’s because i don’t completely trust men to be so understanding.

I have a lot of anxiety. And right now my anxiety is telling me you are gross no one will possibly love you or he okay with this. And i hate myself for believing myself but i cant help it.

Obviously I’m still grieving. Im 24 hrs post news.

Diagnosed with HSV 2. I feel disgusting and horrible.

For those that don’t know thats genital herpes. I have no idea how this happened. They haven’t had sex for 10 years. I guess it can lay door in your body, but this is still insane to me. I’m already struggling with the fact that I might not find anybody ever and now this is just another thing I have to add to that. It really scares me. I feel super disgusting and horrible. I literally just found out like 20 minutes ago. I’m sitting in my car crying. Does anybody have any advice? Or words of wisdom? I dont know what to do. I’m scared no one will ever want to be with me again. Im scared to tell people about it but i know i have to. Im really sad and scared. I dont know what im doing.

I (f29) am dating a guy (29). Who i know with 100% certainty is all around a good guy. Good husband and father material. He’s honestly perfect for me… but I’m just… not that into him. We’ve only been dating a couple months.

Should i keep trying? Has anyone stuck it out and it worked out in the long run?

I feel like if i break up with him i am blowing my chance at happiness. I dont want to be alone and dating is nearly impossible these days. I feel like if i let him go i will fail and be alone forever.

Edit: you’re*

Edit: please please be kind. I am trying my best. I have a lot of anxiety in general and about this situation in particular. I want to give him a fair chance but at the same time i dont want to waste either of our time. Please be kinder with your comments. You don’t know how words can affect someone. Also we have only been dating for TWO MONTHS!
