Feeling

I've been dealing with it now coming up on 5 months....like most I can't talk to no one but my mother bout it out of my family. I feel depressed sometimes cause I have no partner... haven't had one in a long time. But to deal with this alone is kinda... I don't know, depressing. I sometimes forget the meds and take them a few hours later (never missed), but it's like no one is here but my dogs and my cat. I want so much in life and feel like I'm not going to get to achieve everything that I want. Oh well, maybe I'm just tripping like some would tell me or being a whiny adult.

You are. Not alone their is a lot of us here for you. Take you meds and live. You meds and just living is your life line.

By taking your med you can have a normal life life and you should reach a place of happiness just in life and living it to the fullest.

People don't give life, stuff don't give life God gives life and live it

Well it's coming up upon my 1 year anniversary having HIV. It's been an interesting year going through all the grieving process to finally acceptance. I'm finally there and living my life. I take my meds and do what I want to do. Acceptance makes things easier for you once your there your whole life changes and that's the best thing of having this diagnosis.....

I feel the same.... and I'm still in the gutter, not one of my family or friends know about my status. However, I always try to take my medication on time. It helps if you set up an alarm at the same time everyday to remind you to take your medicine. Your health is more important. Everything else will follow. I hope this helps.

You found this site, and you're not alone here. I was tested poz in '98, went on meds in '05 and haven't had any issues with them. For me, it's 2 pills once a day. Any have my smart phone set up to set off alarm at 6 pm which is normal dinner time. Even though it's a serious disease, with treatment options now it's more like having diabetes. A very manageable condition.

I totally understand you, when I was diagnosed I was also single and my parents were the most important support I had. I also felt that I might not achieve my goals in life, but then I made a decision, I wouldn't let a disease take over my life, my will power is stronger and I wont think twice about reaching for my goals, and so far its been great! Wish you well and dont loose faith in yourself!
