I dont know where to start. This problem is somewhat recent. It has been about 8 months since I started believing that I have bb. I have lurked these forums for about 7 months, and I am finally posting.
Okay, so first off, Hi. Im EA. I am a 19 year old male. I'm not 100% sure that I have bb. For all I know, it could just be a really bad case of halitophobia, but I have occasional tonsil stones. I have asked my parents and they usually say "I've never smelled bb on you, son". Not convincing at all. I have occasional tonsil stones. I believe they are the culprit, but I also have sinus problems. I cannot smell it myself. I usually go off peoples reactions. But in my head, I could just be making it up. I work as a cashier, so I have to speak with people nonstop all day every day. It gets really bad sometimes when I start noticing a lot of people touch their nose, change expression, avoid eye contact, etc when I talk. Its always subtle, but I have no reason to believe that my bb DOESN"T exist. I haven't had a girl interested in me in quite some time. I have had depression for years now and the anxiety is just shooting through the roof now days. I cant control this. I have seen a doctor, but I was too embarrassed to ask if my breath was unusual. I just want to know for sure if I do have bb and how to get rid of it. My life is so amazing. I have so much. I am so blessed with a great family and positive friends. I just feel like having bb or the obsessive fear of it has everything to do with my insecurity. I have become completely socially awkward. I cant hold a conversation with someone because I don't want to blow my stank in their face. I rarely speak anymore at all. I dont know guys, I just feel like this is the only place I could talk about this. And it feels great to finally get it off my chest. Anyone wanna help me out? Give me some words? lets just talk haha
tl;dr It might be halitophobia but theres no way for me to know and it still sucks a lot
