Got it at 21. Divorced since 2001. Dating has been really, really difficult. Can anyone relate?

Let’s say a person has had cold sores off and on since they were a kid.

Do such people feel compelled to disclose that they get cold sores when they date? Or is it only genital herpes that has stigma?

Culturally, I don’t sense shame surrounding oral herpes.

I’m 67, and I tested positive for HSV two when I was 21.

Edit: I am pro disclosure.

Thanks for any advice you might have.

I’m 68 and bought the first little Mac that Apple sold. And I’ve always had an iPhone.

I’m looking into Apple TV, but would like to understand the benefits and drawbacks compared to a regular smart TV. I’m really starting from Ground Zero.

I originally posted this in ELI5, but because I can’t get a subjective answer, they deleted my post (understandable).

I’m hoping for advice from professionals. What can I use to protect my brows before I apply retinol or any other facial serum that would fade my brows if it made contact?

I consciously avoid my brows when using serums, and have been using a lip balm to coat my brows before I apply any serums.

(I also told my brow technician that someone should invent Chapstick-sized sunscreen, just for brows.)

I started EMDR therapy in January. Since then, my dreams have become more vivid and strange. I started taking Zoloft at the same time I began EMDR and I’m currently up to 100 mg.

I’ve always been a person who dreams a lot but now I’m remembering these dreams and having them pop-up occasionally like, when I’m taking a shower. If I’m doing my bedtime routine, like brushing my teeth, etc., a dream from the previous night will pop into my head with no prompting.

I’m wondering what the impact of EMDR has on dreaming? I’d appreciate any insights.

Anyone, male or female, in same situation? If so, what’s it like for you?

Edit: I forgot to say that I got it when I was 20.
