Sometimes, living with herpes can be unbearably overwhelming. Sometimes, it's the herpes itself, and sometimes, contracting herpes is just the last straw that throws you over the edge.  If being diagnosed or living with herpes has you seriously contemplating suicide, please see HSV RESOURCES. I've provided a number you can call to talk to someone about your feelings. However, if this is a medical or psychological emergency, please contact your care provider or 911.
