Feeling like giving up
Feeling like giving up
Also, watch your diet and don't give up researching, Maybe one day, God will relieve you from this burden.
Keep in mind that there must be a reason why we are all going through this and we must change strive ourselves for the better before expecting change to happen. That's my belief at least..

Giving up on life if an absolute waste of your time. It's tough right now for you, maybe you smell, maybe you'll never "make it". None of that is a definite outcome for your future.
C'mon, keep going. I know I've worried about this going all the way back to elementary school (I'm now 25), and I'm doing pretty well at this point in my life (University grad with a job and friends and that). It sucks I know but it isn't worth giving up. If anything just let this experience strengthen your ability to deal with stress in the future. If you do ever get smelling "normal" and you gave up years before, you'll be kicking yourself forever. In contrast, if you do happen to start smelling "normal" while you're already doing good or at least stable in life, you're going to be awesome!!!
I hope you have a supportive friend or family or community group to help you out, because that will be important, but still, keep going.
ps My therapist says she can't smell me, but we sit fairly far apart. She acknowledges that there may be a grain of truth in everything I say about having bad breath, but that at this point it needs to be treated as a mental health issue, considering the amount of time I worry and obsess over it. I think this is totally true. This does not mean that I'm not still trying to find answers and solutions that might help me, but there comes a point where even if you have the worst breath in the world, it becomes a mental health issue more than anything. My therapist also has sincerely listened to a lot of my physical symptoms and offered some of her medical thoughts about what might be causing it, which I appreciate. She even gave me a number to a good rheumatologist so a could get a good blood panel done to rule out auto immune disorders. So not all therapists and doctors will roll their eyes at you and tell you that you're crazy is my point

Everyone faces trials and tribulations. Not only it humbles you, but it helps you become a better person if you have the right approach. Hang on, you may not see the benefits now, but you will see them later, if God wills. Let's stay positive. Having a community where we can share our stories, help each other, is a blessing from God. So no God is not forsaking anyone.thanatos wrote:So far he's forsaking usAtrial wrote:Only god can help us.

Second, regarding this problem can you give oil pulling a chance. I have been doing oil pulling for more that one year (using sesame oil but you can use anything which you are convenient with) and it has really reduced the occurence of tonsil stones (almost to zero) and also the white tongure syndrome has reduced to nil. Alongwith oil pulling, I have been exercising and been having a positive attitude towards life.
I only wish that you enjoy your life as much as you possibly can and not be bogged down in life because of the negativity that halitosis brings (Because I have wasted precious moments of life in that and there is nothing good about it )!
Hope this helps!

Ive had this problem since I was 13 (now 24!) so I can definitely relate to it being incredibly hard to get through school - I was quiet and shy anyway so bad breath rendered me basically a mute! I would always rush home after school to curl up in front of the TV which was the best and easiest form of escapism for me (something I still do a lot of as well as read - although I think i'd do this regardless of the bad breath because I love stories!!) Over the years i've always felt that i was in a sort of suspended state - waiting to be released from this so I could actually begin life - but the last couple of years I have slowly but surely been bringing myself to terms with the fact that I may never be cured. I wont ever give up hope but if this is my lot then I dont want to get to my death bed and look back on my life and think i've just wasted it, so I started coming up with lists of things that I can do or aspire to even with this condition - e.g. I can own animals - I love dogs and they're a great way to get unconditional love, i'd also love to have chickens and a goat one day; gardening - this has never been something i've been particularly interested in but all my family and relatives are doing it constantly and apparently its meant to be incredibly soothing and rewarding, (and i've always loved sitting in gorgeous gardens) so this summer i'm going to get involved with my parent's garden / veg patch and start learning. There are other 'relaxing' things that i've started doing like teaching myself the piano, yoga, and meditation - i realise this is starting to sound a little hippyish but knowing I have these things has really helped me. Plus I think talking to and meeting with people on here would be so helpful if your struggling. Hang on in there!
