I would like to throw some thoughts at you from way out left field, since you have already gotten some good advice from the more rational minded.
I would venture to say that you have some things on your mind that you are unable to get out. These things are painful and eating away at you. the more you harbor these feelings the worse your self esteem is. This problem is a physical one to be sure. Your body is producing toxins that are trying to come out. The problem is manifesting in your mouth, because you are dying to speak your mind. Or perhaps you do speak your mind and the things you say make you feel like a bad person.
I would suggest joining a group where you can let it all out.
You are welcomed to write me. Just pretend I am the person you wish you could say these things to, and you may begin to see all the things you have been holding inside.
I have herpes myself. But I havent had an outbreak in over a decade. the secret i learned with my dis ease is that it all has to do with guilt. I was holding back sexually, having had engrained in me a Catholic mentallity that I wasnt even aware of. I was feeling ashamed and i didnt even know it. this guilt and shame manifested as these painful and oh so embarressing sores which made it impossible for me to recieve pleasure (pleasure I didnt think I deserved). I have a much better attitude about my sexuallity now. If I even get a tinge of an oncoming sore, i do a mental review, find out what sort of pleasure I am unconscously denying myself (not just sexual) , and it seems that simply being aware of it denates the necessity for the dis ease to manifest in my body.
Also I hear sucking on a zinc tablet is good for mouth ulcers, but I dont know which is worse the ulcer or the zinc and the numbing effects.
Hope these ideas will help you
Peace
