Depression is taking over......
I am new to this forum and joined this site.I apologize in advance for not being a good writer.I am a 28 yr old guy that began having problems with bad breath about 1-2 years ago.At first,I didnt let peoples reactions to it bother me,but lately I have become depressed.Many times I can detect a stale smell to my breath.Other times it actually smells rotten.I brush my teeth several times/day,gargle,floss and scrape my tongue,but it never goes away.One interesting thing is that when I check the back of my tongue,there is oftentimes no smell.Work has been especially stressful.I love what I do for a living,but I see people countless times a day run a finger across/hold their nose if I have to talk to them face to face.I now dread going to work and having to talk at all.I battled depression in the past for an unrelated reason.I was suicidal for years and just as I was finally getting over it,I developed this problem.Just the other day,I had a coworker repeatedly hold her nose,then offer my gum even though I was already chewing a piece!I then caught a patients family member gesturing to her husband that I had bad breath.I am hitting rock bottom socially.I am fortunate to have a loving fiance that understands,but I am sure she is tired of it.I do notice thick yellow mucus in the back of my throat and wonder if I have chronic sinusitis.I just had impacted wisdom teeth pulled yesterday,but it seems to not have made a difference so far.It is comforting to know that there is asite like this for people that have the same problem I do.I feel myself slipping back into the depression I experienced before.....I am not doing well
I have tried everything over the years to get rid of it...tonsils out, diets, mouth washes, pills. Now, I'm just TIRED of trying! I also have the sticky mucus in the back of my throat (pnd). Lately I've been once again thinking this might be it. I bought Sinol yesterday. I'll let you know if it works. The best thing for this is using a sinus irrigator - you can buy then for $80 online or get a Neti pot for $9 at Rite Aid. I let the salt water run down the back of my throat. I get less reactions when I do this. I just can't do it everyday because it dries me up and I get headaches. My sinus irrigator just broke after having it for only 2 years, so if you get one make sure it has a guarantee.
Hang in there and always remember that life could be worse.

But still, you need to find out why you have that yellow mucus. Coloured mucus is a sign of bacterial infection somewhere in your nasal system. How long have you had that? Does it coincide with the onset of your BB?
I had a friend once who suffered with sinusitis, his mucus was yellow and it was so yellow it turned his tongue yellow. And his breath was horrendous. It cleared up whenever his sinusitis did. It used to be a recurring thing for him.
Since its only been 1-2 years since your BB developed, you have a lot more chance of figuring this out than someone who has had it for much longer. Try to be positive.

Re: Depression is taking over......
buddy, hang in there most of us with this seem to battle some depression with this.
don't be like me, i'm 38 and dealt with it by drinking and smokin weed which i let go.
i only drink occasionlly on the wknds now. i started looking for help in my early twentys
and had multitude of teeth problems which still occur but i would stop going because
i wasn't getting any positive results. i currently have most of my molars removed along
with the wisdom due to infection also my tonsils removed. again be persistent. i've learned
reading articles here how determined and persistent you guys are and thats the secret. each
one has their problem for different reasons. yellow mucous does sound like infection
maybe in your sinuses so if one specialist says no go to another and another. to me
if you have bad breath then it a source of infection in one way or another but it sometimes
isn't obvious to find out why. that's when a doctor tells you no, then find another doctor
willing to search for a different reason, i know its not easy dealing with this and trying to
live a everyday life but backing away in a corner just makes it worse which i had to find
out the hard way. just keep pushing for answers and don't let people crush you inside
try to motivate yourself to keep your spirits up also don't be afraid to see a counselor for
some positive reassurance, no shame in that.
