Halitophobia after you're cured
now honestly someone with halitophobia is reacting to smell, what other reason could there be? someone with bad acne WILL make the person he/she is talking to AWARE that he/she has bad acne. trying to hide it is like covering water with glass. sure it's covered but you can still fukin see it.
it is possible for someone to have minor halitosis and have an extreme reaction to it, causing others to seem to have exxagerated reactions, making the paranoid schitzo with minor halitosis delve deeper into the pits of insanity.

Halitophobia. What halitophobia? It's CRAP!!
Say you have been suffering from this curse all your life and suddenly you got cured. Won't you try to be more possitive in some ways? Being an outcast, are you not paranoid 24/7 about your bb? If not, why do some say that they have good and bad days? It means that paranoia just couldn't match logical reasoning and abservation. You may become paranoid about people scratching their noses for whatever reason but you are not exactly dumb to ignore that there are times that you can have normal conversation with other people without igniting any reactions at all.
It's like my ENT who repeatedly recommends a psychologist to me. Not because I don't have bb but because he thinks I am depressed and I need help in order to function normally in this society -with bb. Now, if only he can find and cure the origin of my bb, I would never need psychologist anymore. As long as I have bb, I will be an outcast. And as long as I am treated as an outcast, I will be depressed. I am living my life in the best possible way that I can and there is no doctor in the world who can make me live a better life than a miracle from God.

Thats an atrocity if its is. We are suffering so badly because we are literally being rejected from a normal life. My heart goes out to people with mental disorders that prevent them from integrating into society. But when it comes down to it, we are normal, and in many cases highly intelligent people, ostracized from society because we produce a foul smell. I really, really want to make a t-shirt that says "I have chronic bad breath, so what?" Although it would be somewhat embarrassing it might actually get people to talk with us that never would before.Oh that's a good point!
I wonder if halitophobia is given more attention as a disorder than chronic halitosis.
Halitophobia is not crap, it's a serious problem,
....
for people who have small brains.
Sorry, but I know that I am intelligent enough, aware enough, and have the common sense to base my judgement off of something concrete. I can't speak for anyone else, but when I gauge reactions I don't use them alone to assess my problem. Reactions are only a supplement to what I already know. I already KNOW my breath stinks and I use reactions to confirm. The very few days when my breath is a little bit better, I know that I need to shift my perception of reactions. I know that on a good day, a scratched nose might be just that, an itchy nose.
My bad breath is something that I can sense. I know my body and trust my senses. I'm in tune with what my body tells me. I'm analytical about changes that go on with my health and well being. I'm honest with myself when something feels 'off'. These are just some of the tools that I have further developed as an awareness to my halitosis.
Put it this way. Before I had BB, I didn't pay attention to reactions. When my BB slowly developed, I became aware because my body was changing. I just felt different. I began to pay attention to these differences, and try to make sense of them. Over time, unfortunately those feelings became regular, and I noticed a pattern. After awhile I developed a sense mechanism to maintain personal awareness of these new changes. A few years later, and I know I have BB, and I have an idea what triggers it, when it's at 70, 80, or 90% strength. At this point, I've learned how to use reactions as a measurement device. When my halitosis developed, it wasn't human reaction that made me aware... it was the change in my own body.
If I'm ever cured, I will be able to sense the change in my body. There will be no reason to believe I have BB, if my senses don't tell me so. Nothing more to it. I'll go back to normal. If I'm cured, 1st of all (if I am truly cured) I shouldn't see real reactions. I'll probably notice all the fake reactions that plague the dumb people with small brains. The random scratched nose for example. We all know that everyone scratches their nose. Some of us know the difference between a casual scratch and a "your breath smells like shit" scratch. Some of us simply know that our breath f'in stinks, and that is the only issue. It's not false perception at all. I understand that others aren't able to distinguish between perception and reality, and I feel sorry for those people. I work with people at my job that have no common sense. These people exist, and yes they will develop halitophobia if they are ever cured.

You sound like a pretentious jerk when you talk like that
People with halitophobia (or who just read reactions 'wrongly' as dictated by you) are stupid and have small brains but you..... YOU have this keen awareness about you body that is so ****ing intelligent that you know exactly how bad your breath is and instantly know what reactions are legit and not legit.
You're a legend in your own mind.

We have a good family doctor with an open mind who always have been very helpful to me.
Some years ago my depression over BB became to big and i actually started talking with him about it. He decided to make me breath in his face which for me was the same as being asked to put my head on the gullitone.I still did it and to my suprise he looked even more suprised. He said he couldnt sense even a hint of BB. My breath was totally clean, and i could tell he was actually speaking the truth. Àllthough i believed him, i didn`t trust it. I still went around protective the whole day.
Even though he didn`t find any results on his test he was still willing to write me a recommandation to a ENT specialist, IF my dentist could confirm suspicion of BB. So i went to the dentist, who could confirm it, "even tho it wasnt the worst he had experienced".
I got my recommendation and whent excited to the ENT with the hopes of a cure. I was in there for 10 minutes. He put some very long thin elastic stuff opp my nose and touch my tonsils with a stick until i almost puked.
The result was that he couldnt find anything and he was 100% secure i was imaginating this as he could not find anything wrong, nor smell anything.
Slight confused, but encouraged, i went on a brave quest to acknowledge confirmation that i didnt have BB any longer. After all it was a possibility that it might have been a youth condition passing as i ventured into the twenties.
My hopes were shuttered as my own loving mother could confirm the existence of my BB. Later on i found out that this "specialist doctor" missed a huge polyp in my maximillarsinus, which was found on a tomography. All though i dont know yet if it is adding up to my BB, i think it should be detected by an ENT. I guess its fair to say he didnt do a proper search in these 10 minutes it took him to think "haliphobia".
Still i`ve done ok in life. I`ve been lucky enough to find a wife. I have to live with the fact that she will give me comments like "That looks like a good moutwash" when we see a commersial for a antiBB medicine or the regular look away when im talking to her face. I have to a ceartain degreed withdrawed myself from society establishing my own online company minimizing the need for intimate interaction, still life is definately liveable in the right setup.
Im telling this because it is clear for me that i have bad breath but that im paranoid and exaggerating the condition. It will only take the slightest hint, a 10cm step back, from a friend talking to me, and my spiderman alarm would go on. Allthough im not the most popular guy to sit next to on the metro, compared to others, i know people with normal breath who also will experience people taking a smell step back when they are having a conversation.
My point is that i would actually be able to live a better life if i could start trusting the fact that my BB isn`t the end of the world for me, and for most others. What truely is the end of the world is the psychological biproducts that comes with the humiliation and degrading self perception of the BB. I do believe that this mental concequence of the desease is worh a title on its own, and a field of study.
If we were capable of eliminating haliphobia, we would score equals pooints on our happyness-scale, as if we were able to actually better the condition in itself.
