Stressed about going into the workforce
I've had
Body Odor for a long time now, since my early teens. When I went away for college, I got a job, but after I came home, I worked online. I still work online, but I'm not making as much as I used to.
Recently, I think my mom has been hinting at me to get a job outside of the home, but I'm really nervous, as I don't really have my odor under control yet. I pay all the utilities and the house phone bill, so it's not like I'm living here for free.
I went to the doctor recently and he gave me Flagyl and I do notice a decrease in the odor, but I don't think it's completely gone. I have to wait and see and I am scheduling another appointment with him this week for the results of my blood and urine tests
I used to be slim, but I gained weight because it was difficult to exercise when I smelled like shit and have people giving me dirty looks. However, since the medication has reduced my odor, I'm going to try to get back on track with my diet/exercise and see if that helps too.
I'm just really stressed by the thought of getting a job where I have to interact with people, but I guess I don't have a choice, do I? Wish me luck in this big, cold world. I think I'm gonna need it.
