Re: Body odor problems making live lonely

Hi there third.year, sounds like you got it goin' on. Am I to assume that you were referring to yourself, when you mentioned all those beautiful blessings in your life?
You are absolutely correct third.year in what you said about having good looks, money or a good job, a loving family who supports and encourages you, and how these things at times seem pointless. You have probably even said to yourself: "I feel all alone, even though I'm in a room full of people". You, may have even tried laughing or smiling about your the unpleasant odor that emits from your body. The Bible mentions at Ecclesiastes 14:13 that: "Even in laughter the heart may be in pain..."
third.year, we have all to some degree walked in each others' shoes when it comes to TMAU, BO, and BB. And I'm sure I speak for all who are suffering emotionally with this 'thing', that we feel your heart wrenching pain, and we've been there, or at that 'place' you're in right now (a 'place' that you will survive and start back being happy with Jehovah God's help).
The question I had to ask myself when I wanted to do away with my life was this: "Why would I want to kill myself for one thing like 'TMAU, BO, BB', or any other thing for that matter when I had so many other good things going on in my life? So many wonderful blessings in my life. I, am fortunate to have a good support system, I am not blessed with a lot of money or rich, but I am rich spiritually and happy and I have the basic necessities in life and so I am content with what I have and don't have. I don't work either, but I'm at the place and time in life that I work hard at focusing on the simple, meaningful, important things and persons in my life. Doing this keeps me from drowning in my depression. It helps me not to be so overwhelmed with my disorder that I cannot move on with my life, turn the page and start another chapter in my life. third.year, you can change and rewrite the scr1pt for the better in your life....life is definitely not hopeless. BELIEVE THAT. Staying focus on the positive things in life also helps me to stay anchored and positive even in the face of blatant rejection or ridicule ridicule (Don't let them see you 'anx' out). Ultimately, and foremost my close relationship with God carries me through always. Don't count Him, Jehovah out of the equation third.year. He is a strong reliable source of peace of mind and peace of heart (Psalms 9:9; Isaiah 41:10,13). A serene calmness is what He will graciously give you.
I must tell you before I close in one simple sentence: Black tea, has been a God Send for me, I have my some semblance of an average normal life now, minus the odors as long as I consistently drink black tea. Please read my thread about how I have become practically odor free, sincerely, draheraw
Please know, that there is truly hope and an excellent reason(s) to live. Please, let me know how you are faring soon.
