Strong body odor even after showering.I'm going to die alone.

should i keep hope alive?

i shower multiple times a day

with baking soda

i use deodorant.

i still stink.

most likely why i'm still single. have lost all of my friends.have a hard time getting a job or not being harrassed at my place of employment. often encouraged to work from home.

i don't know what to do.

i'm losing hope.

i wish i had the money to afford the surgery that would remove my sweat glands as it may help.

but honestly

I notice when I eat more pomegranate and oranges

my sweat smells more fruity especially when I'm out doing cardio.

I'm not advocating to be vegan or vegetarian

because I eat in this way but maybe eat less

meat but eat more fruits and see if that helps.

i know and have tried all of these.

they all may help a little but do not completely resolve the problem

Detox your body. You have a buildup of yucky stuff stored in your fat cells

I agree 100+ to detox

and consult professional help if haven't already. but yeah, it may take

different eating habit / life change but not impossible to change smell.

and stop saying you will die alone.

stop it. toxic thoughts

Try Liquid chlorophyll

But What part of your body is emitting odor?

Have you looked into getting botox in your under arm pits? I have had a few people I know do this, that had issues similar to yours, and this worked for them.

tried that.

didn't work

i think all of it....but underarms i think are the worst.

i also am prone to having tonsoliths so my breath is horrendous as well.

i heard that helps with the people with excessive sweating

but not exactly with a strong body odor

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the odor is from bacteria. The sweat may be allowing them to continue to multiple because it is it's food source. If you cut off the food source, wouldn't it effectively make the bacteria multiple less, thus minimizing the odor?

It is just something to think about. T

I know someone that had the same exact issues.

Her liver was out of shave. Her digestion was off. Turned out her liver enzymes levels were off.

She corrected it by making better life style choices. Food, sleep etc

I know you might feel alone and confused but I assure every problem has a seed to it's own solution.

Just hang in there.

no not yet.

i have to, unfortunately, wait probably until the fall to see a doctor

( here's hoping i can go back to school/have insurance)

still 9k in the hole.

and i think i have the normal mixed american diet

i've tried to go vegan a few times...but also have issues sustaining it

( skin issues mainly)

though i do feel like i definitely smell slightly better but idk can't really smell myself

and i barely poop.

maybe once or twice a week..which i know is bad and also may be contributing to my smell

yeah i read that too which is why i'd actually opt for the surgery to remove my sweat glands completely

instead of just the injections every 6-8 months.

Grew up with a girl with this type of condition. If I remember correctly there was something going on under her skin (near her armpits) that she eventually got medicine to treat. I don't think she needed to have surgery. However it's best to see a doctor to figure out exactly what's going on that's causing the odor. Have you seen a doctor or specialist yet?

these suicidal thoughts aren't good

But I hope you get the best treatments and gains your confidence again! ❤️

I actually love smelly Pisces women

was raised by one who is a jerk

so naturally every intense romantic connection I've made has been with an emotionally unavailable, smelly Pisces woman who was neglected and or emotionally abused as a child

suffers from depression and anxiety

has contemplated suicide at least one point

basically also myself

every girl that i thought i was in love with / had a close relationship

was also a pisces woman

that had similar issues

in terms of body odor ( i think but not sure...though a pattern is arising when i think about previous convos)

these women also suffered from the same mental health issues.

what did she do ?

what specific changes did she make to her diet

She stopped going out every night.

Put herself back on a healthy sleeping pattern. Getting the doctor recommended hours.

Stopped drinking alcohol.

She was also taking a lot of random supplements. I personally think that was one of the main things stressing out her liver. She stopped taking them.

Witch hazel is AWESOME for under arm smells. I guarantee it! Lol just pour it on a wash cloth and wipe really good.

How many hours do you sleep?

click to expand

it varies but i have been really trying to get at least 8-9.

i notice the less sleep i get the more likely it is for me to have suicidal thoughts/ experience a really depressed mood

Stop consuming garlic/ garlic powder..

Avoid onions/ onion powder..

Stop drinking coffee or anything high on caffeine..

Shower twice a day..

Use a good clinical deodorant (change to a different brand that works.. when you are on your period)

Purchase "The honey pot" feminine body wash and use it on your armpits.

For your breath..

Start using a activated charcoal toothpaste (Walmart has it for the low low)

Use Listerine.. day and night

Remember that everything needs time to work. So find a regimen and stick with it for a good two weeks to see what's helping and what's not.

Best of luck and keep a positive mind..

tried a mini dose os psilocybin which worked a bit

so why not hyponosis

It could be your diet.

btw i wasn't being sarky when i said wash for 60 seconds. sometimes the solution is so simple - u may just not be washing for long enough to move the bacteria. when u count, u may realise how quickly u usually stop washing

It might be genetic. I've watched interviews on youtube about people with tmau . I laughed at first, but realized it's kinda fucked up cuz there isn't a known cure.

I just saw about your pooping once a week..

Go see your doc and get checked over....I'm sure they will help you

Are you eating lots of fruit and veg every day? Do you drink 2+ litres of water?

It's not necesserily sweat that makes you smell but rather the type of sweat

Yodi advice is good.That honey pot is no joke for vaginal issues. First check with your doctor to make sure you don't need medication for an infection. Then switch to the honey pot. To doubly fight the issue. Also antibacterial soaps for non delicate areas or African Black Soap body wash.

click to expand

Thanks hun.. I speak from experience lol

That Honey Pot brand is the truth 🙌🏿

I love that it's allllll natural and that it balances your PH levels. Even tho it's a feminine wash I use it on my booty and on my armpits. I love black soap too.. I rotate between 3 or 4 soaps/body washes 🥴

Most DRs rather prescribe medicine with harmful chemicals instead of an all natural alternative.

I think it can be hormones maybe? When I was breastfeeding I was showering twice a day because after a few hours my armpits would smell horrible! Once I stopped breastfeeding after a while the odor went away. So it definitely had to do with hormones in my case 🤷🏻‍♀️

I didn't read the entire post but have you tired a natural crystal deodorant ? you can get it in spray form now which would be more convenient

in terms of breath, brush your tongue as well. a lot of bacteria builds up there and that's what mainly gives bad breath (and the tonsillitis won't help either)

my mother has strong bo as well

most people can shower daily and use a regular antiperspirant and be good all day

and some like you say can even workout and still not be offensive.

from all of the countless indirect remarks people have made to let me know i'm stinky even after i've showered

i KNOW i am not one of those people.

make sense why i have no close friends anymore.

HOWEVER, psilocybin does actually help.

This may sound like I am kidding, but I am not. Have you tried opening many dating site ads and stating your problem? You might find people with the same problem, people who don't mind or even someone who is into it.

i think i'm lucky ebough to have encountered those people on a somewhat semi-regular basis

but it amplifies my insecurity because even if they are indirectly making a "positive" indirect remark related to my body odor

it still cuts deep.

i met a german hippie in March who let me know she doesn't like showers after the first couple of hours of meeting her

my hippie ex told me she sometimes not likes to shower for days so she can smell herself when we first started interacting

I've been using it for 20 years. I've recommended it to several people who are also hooked. One was a co-worker's son whose feet stank so bad he was bullied in school. She said after he tried it he wanted to come in and hug me. And ironically, the sale of this product is growing. Soooo maybe not for you or in your corner but I'll keep it in mine then. Good luck.

the irony is that apparently garlic is good for depression

and yet its probably been making my issue worse on the social front

What deodorant and body wash are you using?

Do you eat a lot of heavily spiced food? Indian or Chinese? That could be it. If so, ease up on that and eat more fruits and veggies to counteract the strong spices.

Also buy the clinical deodorant and also use coconut oil on strong smelling parts, before deodorant- Get the cold pressed, organic one- Just apply it straight out of the jar and rub into the sweaty areas-

Coconut oil is an antibacterial, it will protect against odor-causing bacteria.

Posted by LadyNeptune

What deodorant and body wash are you using?

it varies

dr. bronners tea tre oil wash

italian dove body wash

favorites are ..( when i have the money to splurge include

malin and goetz rum or cannabis

also black jasmin noir compagnie du provence)

for the past year are so i've been trying to wash with arm and hammer with these soaps

which i know helps as after 7 or 8 applications in the shower

i can't smell myself anymore

and people who tell me i smell every day also have been complaining less/told me that they couldn't smell me.

deodorants i typically use are

jungle man

nivea pure roll on antiperspirant

infasil uomo spray 48 hr dry

Chill on red meat. I gave up in n out months ago. That stuff will clog your pipes.

I eat quinoa at least 3 times a day. Quinoa is rich in probiotics and fiber. I eat salad with no dressing with every meal.

Fruits are rich in fiber.

And your organs need lots of water to work properly.

You eat 3 meals a day. You have to poop at least 2 times EVERYDAY a day.

i don't eat 3 meals a day because of poverty lol

but when i have the chance to eat on a regular basis

i poop daily

Hi. My family member struggled with this for a while. She ate a lot of red meat and used scented shower/bath stuff. It’s from all the hormones being pumped into our food unfortunately.

i actually eat very little red meat.

mainly because of price but also not my favorite.

i need to stop the dairy and the rest of meat products.

also have to stay away from veggie friendly foods that are notorious for making BO worse

aka garlic and onions and hot peppers/ cayenne
