The social Side of HS

I finally got a diagnosis today, and I thought it would make me feel better but honestly it didn’t. I can’t stop thinking about the scars, the flare ups and how it affects me and my confidence and ability to find myself attractive. I feel like it’s crazy to say, but HS has changed my life in terms of how I feel about myself and it’s not good. Does anyone here have experience with dating with HS? telling their partners they have HS? negative or positive experiences? I feel like my self esteem has taken such a hit.
