Suicide ke? Stop it! A problem shared is half solved they say. It's really saddening to know that even your family can't be honest with you when your friends can't. Visit a doctor first.

Suicide ke? nothing should make you even contemplate taking your life .i'm sure you're not the only one going through it and this too shall pass .visit a doctor 1st ,at least you'll sure of someone telling you the truth and then PRAY .it's well!

Suicide is never an option so get rid of that thought.since u have smelt yourself and u smell nothing foul,it could be a spiritual attack.

[b]How Do I Fight Body Odor?

If you want to be "odor-free" consider the following tips:

Apply an antiperspirant at bedtime. This gives the product a chance to work while you sleep and are not sweating. If you apply antiperspirants after showering in the moning, the sweat you accumulate will wash away the product and render you defenseless against daytime sweating. Remember, deodorants do not prevent sweating. They mainly mask the smell of the sweat on your skin. Antiperspirants are chemical agents that reduce sweating. Many antiperspirant preparations also contain a deodorant, which helps to mask the smell. Check the product you use to make sure it contains an antiperspirant.

Keep your underarms dry. Bacteria have a hard time breeding in dry areas of the body.

Try a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water to fight body odor. Use 1 teaspoon of peroxide (3%) to 1 cup (8 ounces) of water. Wipe this on affected areas (underarm, feet, groin) with a washcloth. This may help destroy some of the bacteria that creates odor.

If sweat from working out is your No. 1 cause of body odor, wash your workout clothes often. Sweaty gym clothes are a bacteria-breeding ground.

Change your diet. Sometimes, fatty foods, oils, or strong-smelling foods such as garlic, curry, and onions, can seep through your pores and cause body odor (always see a doctor or dietician before making drastic dietary changes).


If you have excessive sweating (called hyperhidrosis), talk to your doctor. There are a few treatment options for those with more severe sweating who desire more aggressive treatments. Also, certain medical problems can lead to excessive sweating. Your doctor can make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment.

Shaving your underarm regularly will help prevent the accumulation of bacteria and can reduce sweat and odor[/b]

Suicide ke?

I had to edit my original post after reading your story... I was so touched. Made me almost cry.
Have you sought any form of medical advice?

When did the repulsive odour start, or when did you start noticing peoples' adverse reactions towards you has it always been there or did it start when you hit puberty? or are you middle aged?

seek medical counsel



sadly enough some goats coming to this thread will make fun of your issue

village people at work.


nice fiction bro.

I like the fuel attendant part.

.....My Dear your Condition is Critical.....

You can't think of suicide...not now that you've already narrowed down what the problem is. There's always a professional for everything. First visit the General Practitioner who will then refer you to a relevant specialist.

No suicide. Your family will regret ever being horrible when all goes well.

MissCuppy:
Go to a reputable church and report your case to a pastor, this thing sounds spiritual.

Stop being afraid, and conquer your fear... When you believe something is not present, it won't be present. Read meanings to my 2cent. Wish you well

It could be spiritual

OK
