How do you cope when you JUST found out you have genital herpes?
Hi, I'm 19, and less than two hours ago I went to my gyno to see about an awkward outbreak down there. She did some swabs and took a culture sample, and said she would find out in a few days, but was pretty sure it was herpes. And after speaking to her, she feels that it was transmitted orally. I almost broke out into tears right then. I could've vomited from how nauseated I felt. I wanted to die, to just give up. I just cried myself almost sick in the shower. But I don't want to feel this way. I'm worried about my partner, who I don't know how to tell. I'm scared he will just leave me and say he hates me. But my main thought here, is how do I get out of this negative mindset? Am I being ridiculous? Can I live happily without constantly worrying? I'm sorry if I seem dramatic. This is just terrifying to me.
She said they were tiny little pustules on them. So almost like a little zit. And no. Not for a long time.
Hi, only testing will confirm so just relax. Dont mention anything till the test results come back but do obstain till them. Tell us more about the bumps, area, any fluid inside and both sides or one side. And also have you sexually active outside your boyfreind.
