Well, After reading ythe first post.i wanted to advice you not to stay away from yr family and close friends b/c this same people sometime help's to motivate us despite the problem.
Personally, i humbly accept the problem while in search of perfect solution. Considering your age and when you started suffering from this problem, i don't think your bb can extend upto to a distance of 50 feet. I doubt this.
I think i had suffered same problem longer then you do and my bb hardly extend to 10 meter. Well, it also depend on the medication(s) which you've been using uptil date. And, the level of self-esteem when in midst of people.
I've never lost any friend due to my bad breath sometime's, i just prefer not to engage in discussion with them.
Most of friend's knows that i'm that my breath is bad but, this does not stop them from coming to me neither does it stop me from engaging in long discussion whenever such need arises.
Yes, we all have to carry this cross, whenever people tend to twithdraw backward's and try to flip or cover their nose during conversation.
Final note, i believe i'm more comfortable in front of those who are already aware of the fact that my breath is bad than meeting first time visitor's who are yet to find out about my problem
"...she was going to school to be a dental hygienist..."
Also, i think your school girlfriend could be a great help if, only you can open up or pick up the courage to talk to her especially when she said she would like to become a dental hygienist. Now, that she already know about your bb.
So, why not talk to her and take the opportunity to ask her one or more question! Who know's ......
By The way, i forgot to mention this earlier. i like your forum nickname.
Regard's

As for the girl I met while in school, you just had to remind me about her lol. I honestly believe my breath could have smelled bad that day and that can be due to two things, one I was still within a few months of my Tonsil/Adenoid surgery as I said before that surgery my breath worse, and two I was taking/experimenting on a lot of products and medications at the time which could have threw my body out of whack. In addition, i know I use to wear this black jacket all the time to work and outside of work. I never truely realized how bad that jacket smelled because of the heavy smoke smell on that jacket I got from working in a casino until someone mentioned it to me.
As far as getting in contact with her, the problem is I don’t have her phone number anymore. And even if I did have her number there would be no need in me asking her if my breath smelled that day because it’s actually pretty natural for people’s breath to smell sometimes.
And previously I talked about two of my coworkers breath would smell bad from time to time but in no way did either of them have chronic bad breath. Therefore, I only ask people who I have talked to face to face many times because they will know if my breath smell bad on a daily. And so far I asked over ten people and I get the same answer, no one can even smell my breath.
I notice how you said most of your friends know you got bad breath. How exactly do you know you friends know you got bad breath?
