Hey...

Some days we just get down about it even if nothing bad happened. It just gets old after a while. Very old. When I try to explain this to people I say that it is worse than cancer because at least you LIVE when you are alive with cancer, but with this you have to turn off your life when you are living it. The longer I have this, the better I am able to deal with it. I'm turning out to be pretty positive strangely. One thing that gets me through the day is knowing that I am the strongest person I know (along with you guys). There is no way to explain that to someone who hasn't been through this, but I know in my heart of hearts that we are all the strongest people alive. Every day, that thought makes me happy. That when we get through this, we will have been through something that no one could even compare to because they wouldn't understand or even think to compare such a circumstance. I feel like a strong, amazing person because of this, it sucks that it had to happen, but that is truly how I feel. That is what I think of every person that has to deal with this too.

sometimes i think that if i never get better i would want to contact some other people who are dealing with this and live together to have some good company and work on it together. that gives me hope too. until then, i'm here for you to contact. i like talking on the phone because i enjoy the human contact of someone else who is dealing with this, it helps a lot. but i'm also here to email if you want to talk.

your friend,

We share the same feelings I see. I don't find myself to be who I am anymore either.
Forced to always keep your mouth shut, choosing places far away from others.. That's not me. Although I did enjoy spending time just by myself, I was pretty social being, now I'm just trash haha.

During school day, which is 7-8 hours, I never open my mouth, except when I take a pastil. In 6 months I've talked 4-5 times few words to someone in our school. Just little chit-chat, "how are you, I'm fine" etc. People must think I'm retarded or something.

When my problem was really bad, I kind of learned how to ignore everything. It worked but it's now really hard for me to show any emotions other than ":|". I can only be almost normal near people familiar and close to me, no way I could do that in public places. Altough, even when I'm with them I avoid breathing and being closer than 1 meter. And if we're close I always pull my head back if I have to talk face to face. Bah.

Every time you walk past someone, you hold your breath. Always thinking where would be a good place to inhale and where to exhale. Life becoming dull and planned days before you do something.
One-day trips were awful, you had to carefully plan out everything before you could go. And those longer than one day, no way in hell. "I'm sick, sorry"


We are such a disease.

I am sorry things are not going well for you. What things have you tried so far?

I know what you mean, I have completely isolated myself too. I keep trying to stay positive but i've had this for about 6 years now and its getting worse. I'm a very optimistic person but this condition just beats me down, I feel trapped. I want to live so badly and no-one understands. I used to be popular, and love life. People laugh at me and then look to see the reaction on my face, people humilate me. Everytime I try to go out of my comfort zone people shut me back in my box. They think just because I smell they have the right to ridicule me. People can be so cruel, I wish they could feel what I feel inside. People make me feel worthless, and I'm not. I have my bad days like you mentioned too, I actually had one today. I didn't want to get up and broke down crying for almost two hours. No one understands. I just want to live.

Hello. I don't really know how to go about doing this so I'll just start like this: Most of what I said is,to some extent, BS. I am not a zombie. I have my days, but they are getting fewer and fewer. I wish I could delete what I wrote last night, but I guess it does give some legitamacy to the way I felt at the time, and it's probably why I feel so much better today. It looks like like I'm not the only one with these days, either. It's nice to get stuff of your chest to people where you won't have to explain yourself later or worry about secrets being whispered about you, etc. When I take an honest look back at the person I was 5-6 years ago I realize I was an idiot. Sure I was happier, but I was also very selfish and conceited. I never realized how lucky I was until this whole stench thing happened. Sometimes you forget about the little things like family and friends (the ones who stick by you no matter what). This website has also been a huge blessing and I wish the best to every person on it. Thanks.

That feeling of being isolated is all too familiar to me. I don’t know how many times I just had to stand up and walk out of class because of the comments students & teachers used to make among themselves. No matter how much I excelled people would lose respect for me instantly. I used to crave that someone would say something to me rather than just bicker behind me. This curse definitely gave me a clear perspective of how damaging psychologically our behavior can be on others if we are careless, not only that but an eye opening view of just how many cruel people are hiding behind welcoming faces. This whole thing has taught me humility on many levels. I’ll be the last person to look down on anyone & the first person to try to understand what’s going.
Keep converting that frustration into focused energy on finding what will work for you Poopman. There’s a combination that will work for your body. Just keep digging, trying experiments & asking questions. I wouldn’t say this if I hadn’t done it myself. Good luck!

Hi Tujam, Whitney and All,

Since I have suffered this foul body odour and bad breath condition for the last 20 to 25 years, I would honestly like all of you who are at the point of despair to try the baking soda remedy before anything else. Baking soda is cheap and easily available at any store.

Now just take a pinch of Baking soda and mix it in water and drink this water. Don't take more than a pinch as it may be sufficient to get rid of this problem.

Next day also mix half teasthingy of baking soda and common unrefined salt in water and gargle with this water.

Further on the third day, you can add one teasthingy each of Baking Soda and common unrefined salt to your bath water and have a bath. After about one hour have a regular bath with a mild baby soap or shampoo.

Why I am saying use little baking soda, since we should not over do anything. Also using little quantity helps us to find out how our body accepts this ingredient and also keeps off any adverse reaction due to large quantity.

After you get positive results use this remedy as and when required instead of doing it every day.

God Bless All Of Us

Boy do i know about being isolated!!
I currently dont have any friends to speak of (my choice, or was it lol), its just easier. I'd go out to a club and spend the whole night worrying about my breath (its bad) and going to the toilet to spray my mouth with breath freshener. Go out of my way not to breathe on anyone. Thing is, im sooo lonely.

The few people i do know, all know i have bad breath, i know they do!! i can see it in their faces. One thing this BB does for you is give you the gift of reading people and homing in on vibes. What hurts is not one person has ever said "i know you have it and im here, how can we get this sorted, how can i help" they pretend you dont have it and your talking out of your backside (which is close to the truth acutally lol, smells like it anyway)


My daughter is now 12. It was no problem when she was young, id talk she'd still look at me with innocent unknowing eyes. Now its different, she knows and its tough to take, really tough. I've thought about suicide sometimes, not that i would because i couldnt do it to my baby but if it wasnt for her i know id think "whats the point!"
I want a normal life so badly. Im single and i would love to hold someone and for them to hold me, but HOW!! who would'nt be offended by bad breath!!? there is such a stigma to it, its like the worst thing anyone could have and tops the BIG TURN OFFS IN A PARTNER list everytime!!

The years are ticking by and i feel i live a half life, simply going through the motions like a robot and not getting any real joy because "oh i forgot" ive got bad breath!!! it keeps coming back to haunt me in my mind everytime i get too ahead of myself lol

Ive tried lots and lots of things, most of the stuff on these boards, all i have left is give the "GO GREEN" thing a try. no meat, no dairy, no nothin lol
just veg/salad/fish.
Im also going to try taking apple cider vinegar 3 x's a day (nothin to lose eh)
Im going to do a colon cleanse, theres a good one i read about called Oxypowder
Im going to floss religiously! 3 times a day (use the brush ones not the string)
Ive just received my sonicare toothbrush, which i am using for the first time
Start taking Chlorophyll pellets.
start juicing vegetables and drinking that and water nothing else.

I dunno, geez...............got to keep trying right.
Any other suggestions would be great.

Thanks for listening & understanding
