hi, your condition is totally treatable and you must consult a psychsitrist/dermatolpgist. herpes labialis is treatable and you can have a normal sexual life after treatment. you might also need therapy and medications for your mental health condition( GAD/depression).

Your college day sex is unlikely to be causing the infection now. Herpes labialis Can occur when the infection is transmitted recently and is more pronounced when a person has high stress and anxiety levels for which you need to seek treatment from a psychiatrist. Also take a course of antiviral medications for it. Good luck
