My Intro
I have been looking for a site like this off and on for a while. I use to swing by Healthboards every so often, but as we know, the site wasn't solely dedicated to BB.
I am 27, and I have had this problem for so long. When I think back I can recall people making comments about "The Problem" (this is how I refer to it when I journal), since I was like five.
I didn't really pay the comments much attention until I was in my early twenties. I thought it was strictly due to poor dental hygiene. It may be hard to believe but never flossed until I was around 22 or 23. I would only brush my teeth once day and very rarely gargled. I'd never had my teeth cleaned. I still get so pissed when I think about the fact that NO ONE took me to the dentist when I was child or bothered to teach me how to floss and brush correctly.
Needless to say I had more than a few decaying teeth. Taking care of these issues still didn't cure my BB but I had no idea why.
One day at work I coughed up a little white ball. Tonsil Stones. I have dealt with these things all my life. I was always coughing them up and I never thought much of them. Well once I read up on the little balls of ickiness, it was like my life had flashed before my eyes. All the times people would say things about my breath, offer me gum/mints, screw up their faces when I talked it came to me in a rush. I realized my breath really was terrible and had always been. I fell into a really deep depression.
I now know I have cryptic tonsils, chronic PND in addition to PCOS, which effects my blood sugar levels so I have to deal with that ketosis breath too.
A year ago, exactly last November, I got a really bad tonsil infection which caused me to develop an insane amount of tonsil stones. I was given antibiotics (which didn't work) so I have just had to deal with it. Once my employment situation because a little more stableI plan to get my tonsils out. Maybe this will help a little.
Since the onset of that last infection, I have been locked away in my apartment. I won't go anywhere, when I do I am so extremely uncomfortable. People think I'm an certified A-Hole because I rarely socialize. When I do talk I have my hand over my mouth which I'm sure looks really stupid.
I know to a lot of people this can seem to be a very minute problem. But this has butchered my self-esteem, leaving me really depressed and at times suicidal.
I'm not an unattractive female, but I often times don't like to fix myself up. I hate to have a guy approach me and then shrink away. So I stay to myself. I am so lonely but I'd much rather deal with the isolation than the humiliation.

bb is not fatal at all but depression can be. by reading ur post, i immediately concluded that you are suffering from social anxiety and depression. my social anxiety is stopping me from doing all the normal things. i even cant find the courage to go to supermarket to do just normal shopping. depressions always keep me feeling tired and useless.now social anxiety is my primary problem and bb is secondary. i belive u are in the same situation. hope things get better for u but the fact is, nobody can help u unless u are ready to help yourself.
i think u live in USA or somewhere. coz in UK, u dont have to pay for ur medical treatment and can get treatment from NHS.
please also have a look at your pm box. that might help too. tc

The supermarket I normally go to has self check-out. That's all I use. And tend to shop early in the morning or late at night so I don't have to deal with anyone.brokenbuthopeful wrote: my social anxiety is stopping me from doing all the normal things. i even cant find the courage to go to supermarket to do just normal shopping.
dumb parents
Sorry our parents were so lazy
its really sad, i'm also going through what ur going through, n its just wrse for girls, cz girls r always expected to be beautiful, pink n perfect. My bb was just very bad, but now i'm better after using antacids, neti pot, eating yogurt, using laxatives, drinking aloe vera juice. Infact I mostly don't get any reactions now, but i know i still have it, need to work a lil harder.
To make it even worse i have bad smell coming from nose so even when i dont talk it smells around me. I am fighting very to live a normal life but its becoming harder and harder.
