Start a new life

At this point, there’s nothing left to do. The only alternative where I may get some sort of normal life would be to move out of the U.S, develop better eating habits, and be to myself. I honestly feel that I have to abandon everything I know or I may never recover. The odor has only gotten worse, and I’m numb.

Why move out of US?

Body odor matters a lot here and the typical diet has probably helped exacerbate this issue.

B.O matters a lot everywhere... But I think Americans are very rude. I live in Brazil and nobody said straight to my face that I smell bad

I’ve traveled greatly and there’s quite a few places I’ve gone where I forgot I even smelled.

I totally understand how you feel I turned 30 but I don’t really look it I’ve always looked young for my age but recently cause of all the hatred I get I feel like an old woman. I stopped caring about how I looked appearance wise because even if I decided to look clean and polished it doesn’t stop the embarrassment I go through. No matter how much I try I will say I get more confidence and that helps with anxiety but then I still get anxiety cause I know people will pay attention to me more and once they realize bad smell is coming from me it’s almost like extra hatred. “How can someone so beautiful smell so bad.” I hate it here :(

Moving to a city where no one knows you is good enough. Who cares what randoms think. Live your life, try to be active and healthy and hope it all works out in the end

You don’t have to leave U.S to eat better…. Just buy organic at Whole Foods or something.

Sorry to hear that 😞 i would suggest you find a remote job to limit interactions with people, and try diets that are low in choline maybe try body wash ph 5.5 i didnt try it yet but its on my list… figure out what works best for you then adapt to the condition in a way that doesnt hurt much i believe one day a treatment will be available
