I was diagnosed last summer with HSV2 , it was the worst experience ever. Now, nearly a year later I'm having another outbreak. At first it was ok, and I didn't think it was that bad but now the sores hurt so much. They hurt so much that I haven't been able to sleep for the past two nights. I spent last night crying until I fell asleep around 6 AM. I don't know how much longer I can't deal with this. I don't understand why this is happening to me.

Herpes does recur, you are lucky that it has been so long since your initial outbreak - many people experience outbreaks far more often.
To cope with the pain, you can use a regular pain relieving medication, and/or use a local anaesthetic gel on the area.
To help clear up the symptoms quickly, you can take an antiviral medication (Famvir or Valtrex).
