SPFPP Episode 153: Working with HSV and Depression not Against it

Liz and I have been missing one another for this interview since she first learned she was pregnant. It only took a pandemic and me getting COVID to sit my ass down for long enough to catch up with her.

We talk about dating while pregnant with HSV, her leaving her 5 year relationship and living her best life for a short time if you know what I mean, and having gotten herpes from the person she was hoping it was because she liked him the most.

Our conversation emphasizes the point again of how the younger generations now are handling their HSV diagnosis with such confidence having access to more resources and the willingness to seek them out compared to me not even considering support until I was almost 30 years old.

Liz sought help for her depression and shared some useful tips for anyone else navigating depression as well.

A question that comes to mind is can someone be so attractive that you just don't mind that they gave you herpes?
