I Think I'm Losing My Mind, and I Don't Know What To Do!

I going to just put all of my issues on the table and hope that someone can help me figure out what I should do. I am apologizing in advance for the long post.

I'm a 44 year old female, and I have never been extremely healthy. I got every childhood disease imaginable including the mumps twice and scarlet fever. In addition, at the age of 32 I had a brain aneurysm.

I have been suffering with bad breath for approximately 20 years. I have not dated seriously in approximately five (5) years due to this problem and like many people with this issue I have lost and left jobs due to the humiliation and comments.

However, I am now beginning to feel like I am going crazy. The odor is so bad that I'm afraid to open my mouth. It appears that people can smell the odor even when I'm not speaking (I have noticed that people have moved away from me when I am standing in line or on public transportation.) I hate going out in public as people treat me like I have the plague. I have come home and cried because I feel truly sad and baffled about this problem. Nevertheless, I am refusing to be a recluse, and instead I am going to keep fighting to figure out how I can conquer this problem.

I have researched all possible causes, been to so many doctors and dentists that I have lost count and still do not have a definitive answer to what could possibly be causing my bad breath. I personally think that it's fungal sinusitis due to the fact that my sinuses do not drain properly and I have fungus in my system that is evident by the fungus on my toenails (I had a CAT scan on my sinuses, but it didn’t show anything substantial.) I just recently started drinking oregano oil (in water) and using it in a netti pot in hopes that this will kill the infection

I am really trying to stay strong, but this problem is driving me insane. I have put on almost 80 lbs due to depression. I used to be beautiful. However, I have neglected myself so badly that I don’t even recognize myself. Although I am depressed, I think the weight gain is a defense mechanism to keep men away.

I really don't want to nor can I afford to spend anymore money on this issue.
I know that there is an answer to my problem. I just don't know what it is. Therefore, if anyone has ever conquered this problem, please let me know how you did it.

Please don't tell me to brush my teeth.

Thanks for the help.
