Life after/during BB. ( My story)- OneDay.

[OneDay111]

I've been a member for almost 3 years now and a lurker for around 3 and a half. It has been a very long ride and an emotional one. I'm now 17, I started searching for the cure at 14 and discovered BB at 13. I almost immediately searched for the cure. I'm probably alot younger than many of you thought, or even my date of birth as a registered user. At 13 I was bullied at school for being stinky, I had BB, and BO. I did have bad hygiene. I sorted that out and alot of my problems related to BO was gone. However BB was not relieving me at it stuck with me and proved to be a nuisance.

I then constantly searched for the cure. Trying everything form Vitamin C, probiotics, nasal irrigation, oil pulling to even that crap Oceanside was on about. I did everything I tried everything. I scraped my tongue till it would be sore, abused hydrogen peroxide and even tried to rip my tonsils out. Eventually I did get tonsillectomy which was the changing point in my life. I have not had a sore throat since and have been relieved of bad breath.

I'm now 17, and I've made very good friends. I've changed as a person. This moment in my life has made me a stronger person. I feel I can tackle almost any life issue and I feel confident enough to live my life with my head held high. I still fear bad breath and it will never physiologically leave me. It has personally scarred me for the rest of my life. I still check quite frequently for bad breath. Even after a year of being bb free.

I still believe I'm cured. I think I suffer from acute halitosis. I get very lazy, for example I haven’t used Tung brush for about 3 weeks nor have I got my tooth fixed. This has resulted in a few problems. However for the most part, Im cured.

One thing that will never leave me nor do I think It can be cured by any physical remedy is halitiphobia. I go by everyday still in fear of bad breath. I still check constantly, I try to not think about it. I don’t think it will ever leave me. Maybe when I raise a family, which is what I would like to, do I can turn my attention to more important things and leave my painful past behind me. Maybe it was a lack of maturity which has left me with physiological problems.

I'm not complaining about the situation I am in, I would not like to come off like that, instead I am eternally grateful for the information and help badbreathhalitosis has offered me. With the help of many users I've found my way to a better life. If it wasn’t for this board, I would still be searching and failing.

I pray that you all one day find the cure. x

Thank you. That's very kind of you to say. And Congrats on being cured. Are you interested in what ThomasThomas said about starting an entity/association, or at least brainstorming about it?
