Introduction to group. BB sufferer for 30 years.

Glad I found this group. I am a 40 year old unmarried man. I have suffered from moderate-severe halitosis since age 11. I can specifically remember in 5th grade kids started making fun of my breath. That's when it started. Childhood and high school were brutal. Even adults would make fun of my breath. Back then there was no internet. I never used special product or tongue scraped. I cannot even image how bad my breath was.

As an adult halitosis has controlled my life. I'm known as 'the guy with bad breath'. I've had toothpaste tubes left on my desk at work, been called "fungus breath" in zoom calls, and at a company xmas party actually had a coworker refuse to sit next to me and loudly said "I'm not sitting next to him with that smell coming out of his mouth". My morning breath can be so bad it'll smell up a room. And the taste in my mouth is awful. A sour metal taste all the time. Sometimes I cannot stand it.

I live alone, travel alone, not married. It actually is how I want to live. This way I do not have to worry about my halitosis.

I have tried every product and one one thing worked but I cannot use it long term. I'll post about it here eventually. But for now just wanted to say a greeting and hello new to the group.
