I’m not responsing to messages

Hi, just wanted to check in. The past 8 years (!!!!!) have been crazy. I started this blog when I had just been diagnosed and was a terrified 21 year old desperate for some reassurance that I’d be okay. I’m now on the edge of 30. I’ve loved, I’ve lost, got engaged, broke that off, started dating women and I’ve had plenty of really good sex in between.

HSV is not something I want to spend a lot of time thinking about because it just isn’t worth the stress and shame associated with it.

Due to this, I’m not really engaging with messages even though I read all of them - everything asked has been answered as-nauseum in the previously published asks. Please look them over.

I know that it might feel like a new diagnosis is the end of the world and you want someone to tell *you* specifically that things will be okay but I just don’t have the spoons to tell everyone the same thing all the time, forever. You won’t be the first to be diagnosed and you won’t be the last.

If you’re new to the HSV world, welcome and get ready for a journey in the less cheesiest way possible. Be ready to learn about yourself, your relationships and use it to launch yourself into a new version of yourself.

This will only limit you if you let it - there nothing wrong with you and you’ll be okay.

I wish you all the best and maybe I’ll see you around the next time I post (eta: ???).

Love and glitter,

EWH
