I need some words of encouragement

I am in SO much pain breastfeeding. I just had my first cry due to my nipples hurting so bad. I feel like my nipples are HUGE and she can't latch correctly. She eats well and the pain kind of subsidies after I start lactating but the initial 10-15 seconds kill me. It feels like I just put salt in a cut. I am not gonna give up my dream of breastfeeding. I just need some words of encouragement. Has anyone that their nipples were too large? When does it get better? Any tips?
