      Type: Genital Herpes

      Got herpes from a boyfriend about 4 years ago. He left my life shortly thereafter. Went into a severe depression and became suicidal. Still struggle with anger about it from time to time, but doing much, much better overall.

      Treatments

      Valtrex Somewhat Helpful
      stopped taking due to feeling dizzy on it, switched to Famvir... much, much better
    • Close Healthy Relationships

      In a relationship that I probably wouldn't have chosen for myself prior to getting herpes. I love him very much, he can be very loving and very supportive, but he also can sometimes be controlling and moody. I wonder if it is the best relationship for me.. he's always been more of a best friend thana lover. The sex is horrible, almost non-existant, and that depresses me from time to time. Should it matter that much?

      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes he listens, sometimes he doesn't. Would like more validation or recognition from him of my feelings. Often too absorbed in the computer to listen to what I am saying.
