Well, I went ahead and began treatment and let me tell you...it has helped tremendously. The BB is still here but I'm not as obsessed about it. I have been able to laugh and converse with co-workers with only minimum anxiety.
I still have not so great days but I make it through. I was even able to confide in someone about the anxiety surrounding my BB. Something I thought I'd never be able to do. He (my cousin and best friend) all but confirmed my breath is bad but told me to try not to focus on it too much. Which is where those little pills come in at.
I spent the day with my friend and her kids yesterday and only thought about it a little but all in all had a great time. I spent the last few weekends with family thought about it some but was still able to not obsess and have a decent time.
My BB has not gone, but the anxiety surrounding it has begun to subside for now. I hope I can keep this up.
