My medical aid is drained from having had surgery on my leg (I broke it in 3 places and fractured it in 4). Simply no money to do so. Have to just deal with it till I can afford the tests. Just hoping it's negative so I can move on from this.
It sucks its scary as ****. Why can't u test right now??
My profile says I'm male, for some reason. I'm female I just don't know how to change that on my profile.
Talking to someone may be a good idea yes, if you feel psychologically drained.
I've been on anti-anxiety medications over this herpes thing for a while now. Testing isn't an option for me right now.
But yes, anxiety over herpes or any other health issue is hell and hopefully we find different, healthier ways to cope with it yeah.
Sorry I didn't realize u were female til I looked at your profile! Yeah that anxiety is honestly the worst part of all of it, anxiety over this makes me tired 24/7, makes my body hurt, hard to get out of bed, I find myself withdrawing from social stuff now, overall unhappiness is the worst thing anyone can feel. Its been 3 months of complete turmoil for me and I can say honestly its been the worst time of my life. Like I said I'm gonna test soon because I'm at the 3 month mark and if they all come back negative I'm definitely going to need to talk to someone after this because of how traumatizing its been for me in every sense of the word. I would never wish this upon anyone.
If it's negative (again?), you carry on with your life and find out the status' of any future partners. The same would apply if it's positive though.
Don't dwell on this for much longer. It's been 11 months for me, of anxiety, 6 of which has been spent in emotional/physical turmoil.
Probably worse than actually having herpes.
Really, truly, get tested and believe the tests and then relax.
Yeah man I'm torn right now, I just can't understand if the mind could possibly make this happen. I guess the mind is a realy strong thing. If I get this next blood test at 3 months and I'm negative again where do I go from there?
