I'm wondering where everyone is located?
I'm in the Atlanta area and am looking for someone close to be friends with.
A little background on me - been a sufferer for about 13 years now... I'm in my mid-20s but my bb started during my preteens years after taking a round of antibiotics to fight a staph infection. I suspect this is what caused my bb. It was of the penicillin variety and made my breath smell sulfuric at the time. The antibiotics must have messed up my body chemistry pretty bad because while I was on them, my mom looked at me disgusted and commented "I shouldnt be able to smell your breath through your nose."
That's when I became obsessed with trying to keep my breath fresh. First I started gargling with salt water and brushing with baking soda and that seemed to help for like a few months. But as I started going through my hormonal changes, my breath started declining again.
I suffered in silence and isolation for years. It got so bad that I was to the point where I considered ending it all. as my last attempt at holding on to my sanity, I started Goggling to see if there was anyone, even if it was just one person, who could relate to me. That's when I found this forum. I read the stories. Some made me laugh, some made me cry, but above all, I could relate to every single one of you.
Anyway, I would like to have a friend who's close to my area that I can hang out with from time to time. I want them to be able to be honest with me and tel me what my breath smells like. I'm much too shy to ask those around me. I feel like if I knew what it smelled like I could better identify the source. Also, we could exchange stories.. have lunch.. go out to events (if you're brave enough) remember, there's power in numbers....
I Just want to have fun! I'm tired of living life locked away at home.
If anyone is interested respond here and we can meet up. Even if you're from another area that's fine too. We can be digital buddies.
