Does Anyone Ever Feel Like Life Is Passing Them By?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Canton, MS

Does anyone ever feel like their life is a dead end and not going anywhere? Dead end job, no friends, no dates, just feel like everyday is a vicious cycle of nothing. I'm 59 yrs old and feel like I should be enjoying my life before the time runs out on me. I don't want to get old and be full of regrets.

A myHIVteam Member

Happy birthday by the way as for your question no, you have to make life for what it is and HIV is just one part of it. HIV doesn't define who you are as a person. So you can either accept it and have… read more

Shame? How To Move Beyond It

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I have suffered long term shame due to abuse I suffered as a child. As a result, my diagnosis is a big source of shame for me. I have good friends and family who have no idea i have been infected for 27 years and probably infected as early as 1986. I'm really struggling and could use some help in this area. I've done some really incredible things in my life and all I feel.is shame instead of pride

A myHIVteam Member

There is no true yesterday, other than the one we think and remember in ways to satisfy our current beliefs. Shame is an opportunity for deepening our self love, polishing the stone as we live and… read more

This Is For The Heterosexual People.

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

Most of HIV deals with gay men. Straight people with HIV probably feel left out with support, help, or somebody to talk to. My question for straight people is, how do you address things when people talk about HIV and how it's a gay disease, and how gays deserve it for being deviants. Or how do you address when people say, "it will never happen to me, I live a moral lifestyle."

A myHIVteam Member

I speak to ALL people it hurts me that BECAUSE of the new medication people are going so haphazardly into unprotected sex I try to get them focused on IT IS STILL A HORRIBLE DISEASE 💯👌🤘👋👍🧐☢️🚧😭😇🙏💯

Do You Think Marijuana Helps In The Treatment Of HIV?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Geneva, IL

Whether it be recreational or medical, marijuana is quickly becoming law in many states. How do you feel about its use in treating HIV related symptoms?

A myHIVteam Member

It does 2 things for me.
1- Sativa strain keeps me motivated when having to get things done.
2- Indica helps me to unwind and relax after a long work day also helps me to sleep
