yes, having herpes bites. yours is certainly a sad story, but you must not let the solution be something you can't take back, like suicide. i have diabetes with complications, i suffer from tricotalimania and i was singled OUT by a vindictive man determined to spread this vicious disease. he gave it to me purposely! and i think of it too, the whole 'who will want me now' thing. it hurts. A LOT! but like eddie murphy said about herpes, you keep that *E$#* forever, like luggage! all we can do is hope we'll meet someone who will be understanding of our plight. just be grateful you have a loving family. try not to blame all the bad things in your life on the herpes - it will make it that much harder to cope with it. if possible, find yourself some counseling. good luck.
