I found out about my bad breath 16 years ago when a group of work colleagues starting calling me names like stinky, smellyman. I started chewing gum all day and even saw a doctor who said that I should say that they have smelly socks. Very poor advice! Many people avoid me if they can and it's depressing when people make a comment that there is a foul smell around. You tend to lose confidence in talking, taking public transport, queues and any other activity that involves being near someone within smelling distance. It can rule your life and ruin it.
Hello everyone. Im 38 years old and have had chronic BB since i
was about 12. Yeah that long! To be truthful with you my life has
been hell. Ive chewed gum constantly(still do to no avail) for the
past 26 years every time ive been in company. How sad is that? The
gum has no affect whatsoever but i try. My BB is now the worst its
ever been. Trust me, as you get older it worsens.
For years i brushed my teeth till my gums were sore.
You know what scares me? If i talk to someone who has maybe even mild morning breath it offends me. I dont want to inhale the smell. So imagine what im doing to other people who have to smell my chronic BB. At the end of the day i have learnt that bad smells are not people-friendly. I avoid talking at all costs if i can, and if i have to open my mouth i try to do so away from an individual or as little as possible. You know whats the worst? Like the 1st time you meet someone, it might be in a shop or at work, but the 1st time you SEE WITH YOUR OWN EYES that they have smelt your breath. What must they think? They immediately dont like you. 1st impressions last forever. You get the picture.
So here i am posting on the web about my problem. Its weird but a little comforting to know im not alone with this. Alas when i go to work tomorrow i will be alone. Just me and my BB. What did i do to deserve this?
