Big Blob of Bad Breath
Big Blob of Bad Breath
But things changed recently and it has been pretty awful. I first noticed something wasn't right when I visited my relatives who I hadn't seen for a while. When I was talking face to face with my aunt one afternoon she made a disgusted face and pulled away. I felt so ashamed. When I left for home I gave her a kiss on the cheek after brushing my teeth and putting on cologne she turned her face to the side which really bothered and frustrated me. My other family members have made comments like I need to chew gum or asked if I had taken a shower, which I did maybe an hour before they said this. Some of my friends have given me some ugly reactions too, usually the crunched up disgusted face or the dirty look. I had a couple of really embarrassing reactions like the nose rub and offering of gum in public places like elevators/subways. The more diplomatic and kinder reactions were the looking down to the floor response or the step back and smile reaction, which is I think is the most gentle, subtle way of saying you have bb. The worst response was when I was out with a friend at a club and at one point my friend look to the side and said "Bad Breath!" in front of me and a few other people. I was really shock and at the time I didn't think it was meant for me since this is my friend but thinking back it was directed at me...I can understand why I get some of the reactions though because I often I can smell a foul odour from my throat and when it gets really bad from my saliva. It is mostly likely due to my post nasal drip...
Now, I spent almost 30 min every morning flossing, brushing my teeth and tongue, irrigating my nose, and using mouthwash. Most of this doesn't get rid of bb. I chew 2 to 3 packs of gum a day hehe and I bring 3 L of water to school to help dilute/wash down pnd and bb compounds. The gum and water does help to reduce bb a bit but I know there's residual bb so I try not to get too close to people. I've become more withdrawn from coworkers/friends and don't go out as often. I do try to make an effort to be social but keeping my distant...
I realize bb is only a small part of me and everyone else on here. Each one of us has a lot to offer either through art, science, sports, or community involvement. We shouldn't let BB shouldn't get in the way of our goals and contributions. Obviously, we just have to work harder to prevent bb than people who don't have it, and be careful not to breath directly on people. Regarding relationships, I think there are people out there who will be understanding of our condittion and if they know we put a lot of effort in trying to rid of the problem. They will love us for our personality, our minds, maybe our looks too hehe. We are not just a blob of bad breath hehe
At times it is really painful and depressing to deal with it but don't let bb get you down or prevent from having a decent life. Sometimes I just laugh inside or sometime later at the reactions that people give me because in a way it is funny watching some people react, of course the gentler ones, or the jumps hehe

thankful for this site
Most people are very ignorant about bb. They associate bb with bad hygiene, which is probably true for some people but not for many others. People should think that bb is associated with sinus, oral, liver,or kidney disease not uncleanliness.
