New Job
I got a great new job with the state!!!
I still have vaginal odor and I'm going to the gyno this week before I start the job just to rule out infections...once again.
I don't think my smell is that bad anymore...since I'm barely eating anything at all.
I just hope noone gives me a hard time at this job because I really need to keep it. Even if they do, I think I'll just put up with it. This job has free medical benefits... can't pass that up!
Today is a good day...I'm appreciating the things I DO have that this odor can't take away.
Please do that somedays...be grateful.

Re: New Job
Thanks William. It's an entry-level position but the pay is good. Still, I wonder what I could have been had I stayed in college. Hey, I might just go back one day. You could too. It's never too late.

Re: New Job
Congratulations, Leelee23,
That's great. You are approaching this in a very positive manner, as it should be. You are not the sum total of your odor - you have an odor, you are not the odor. In fact, the odor is such a small part of you. There's a whole beautiful, young human being that has a whole life to live, and you can make it whatever you want it to be. If you focus on this, if you truly believe in this, you can ignore the crap that happens, and then go on with your life.
You can make your life whatever you want it to be. You can go back to school, if that's what you want, and start a new career, if that's what you want. Why empower others to destroy your life? That's all we do when we give in to what others "like" and "don't like". Who gives a s____! Who died and made them God! Their life is not more important than mine or yours or anybody else's. They are only one more of the masses - nothing more and nothing less.
I suppose I have a gift of profoundly not caring about people I don't like. It's as if they don't exist. That's what keeps me going. This allows me to pursue my dreams, even at the age of 57. I could have given in and take a defeatist stance, but I won't. I'll keep living my dream to do as I am inspired to do, no matter how others feel or react to me. I really don't give a sh__! hehe.
I recommend it to everyone! In the end, you'll look back and smile.
Your life is yours, GO FOR IT!
Congratulations,
María

You are so right with this attitude!
I agree totally that this mentally enables someone with this very difficult condition to get on with thier life regardless of others.
This is how I deal with things, if a stranger makes a comment it does not bother me, as they are not someone that I like or care about. Therefore, what they say does not matter to me at all. CBT has changed my way of thinking to see things like this.

Re: New Job
First, Congrats to you Leelee on your new job.
Secondly, Maria can you teach me how to not give a sh!! about people I don't know or like? You could probably rack up some dough teaching this. I have tried for years to little avail. I'm totally serious, I will come to Miami for a quick lessen as long as the room is air conditioned. He He.

Re: New Job
Hi optimist,
It's a mental exercise one needs to do to change one's emotional response (mind over emotions). It's not something anyone can not do from one minute to the next, but it can be done with determination and with mental exercises as a growth process.
ALOT HAS TO DO WITH ONE'S SELF IMAGE. If you let people make you feel inferior because of odor, you've lost the battle. That's the key. You need to see and believe that you are special and to act accordingly.
First you really need to believe that you are a valuable human being, and that your rights are just as important as other people's rights. No one is superior or inferior to you. Every person has strong traits and weak traits, including you, and including every single person you meet.
You need to identify your strengths and be comforted with them, and SEE YOUR WEAKNESSES AS CHALLENGES - as an opportunity to grow. This attitude puts you in a position above a great deal of humanity believe it or not; it is empowering. Everyone tends to hide and cover-up their weaknesses, instead of seeing them as opportunities to grow.
Eventually, undergoing this self-image adjustment, you truly begin to see that instead of feeling inferior to others because you have an odor condition, you begin to see how many other much more important things are within you in addition to your odor condition - honestly, it's true. You begin to see how petty other people are who overreact to your odor, and eventually, they become boring and insignificant because you are focused on what stimulates and inspires you in life.
1. Raise your self image with a good self-exploratory journey. No one is innately better than you or lesser than you - but they make decisions in life that you may like or dislike, as you make decisions in life that you may like or dislike. You can't change others' decisions, but you can change your own.
2. A person who is so shallow as to not see beyond your odor is not attractive. You can look for people who add meaning to your life, and "sweep the others away with the broom of indifference!" Just like you would to dust on the floor. Afterwards, that leaves plenty of room for you to grow in, even if they're flying around you like an annoying fly. They're not important in your space because YOU DON'T LIKE THEM for being shallow and petty.
3. Focus on what inspires you and what your dreams are, and don't let the dust, flies, or roaches get in the way of your inspirations and dreams...live a happy fulfilling life eliminating people who only clutter and get in your way!
4. If you master this, you would be surprised how people become instinctively attracted to you. Often, they would wonder what it is about you that attracts them, and you will know the secret: you love to feel inspired, to follow your dreams, to not let clutter get in the way, and you go for it! But most importantly, if you've learned to love yourself with all your strengths and weaknesses, you will learn to love others, and it will radiate from you. That's what counts, not the chemicals that may come out of your body. What do you consider to be more valuable, the chemicals or your dreams and inspirations /aspirations, and the love of self and others that radiates from you?
It's all a natural process if you go through the journey - one step at a time.
María

@leelee
You say you have vaginal odor? There was a woman that recently eliminated her vaginal odor on this forum and her name was chiki89. I don't see her on this forum anymore so I'm assuming that she finally got her odor under control, anyways, the way that she eliminated her vaginal odor was by putting a herb called goldenseal in her you know what. I think if you emailed her she would give you a better description in dealing with vaginal odor, like I said before her username is chiki89

wow thats great! I feel happy for you! I like it when people post positive messages on here, makes me also feel better, like there is hope.
I also "think" i have the vaginal odour, but I cant tell if this is just because I am now paranoid of any smell I have coming off me, or if there is actually a issue.
I have been to the gyno about a different problem (thought i had a yeast infection) and she did not comment on any smell. Do you think if there was a odour she would have mentioned it? or just ignored it since I did not mention it at all??
This might be a bit personal (so feel free to not answer the question) and maybe I will pm you, but if its not...I was just wondering how bad is your odour down there? how do you know its not just the "normal" smell that vaginas are supposed to have?? Im so paranoid about it.
Also I really feel with you on the whole not eating anything. Im only eating mandarins and water crackers at the moment, since university is coming up. Good luck with everything!

Hi missyxxmischa
That sounds like a dangerously restricted diet regime to me with a high chance of multiple nutrient deficiencies etc. The best diet is a highly varied diet, some of us have to sacrifice some variety for our condition, however that sounds way too extreme.

Re: New Job
Thankyou for being concerned, but I just feel like I would rather have all those nutrient deficiencies then the odour. I feel i'm at my last straw, that if I go back to university and the smell is still there i'm going to have a breakdown or something. I can't handle the humiliation. I had only about 4 minor incidents about my smell at uni last year, but that was enough to push me over the edge. But I will definitely start adding in more food if the crackers/mandarins don't give me any smell. I am crossing my fingers for myself.

Hi Missyxxmischa
I don't know what foods acerbate your condition but I'm pretty sure you could eat much more than that without problems. Try to methodically, step by step work out what is causing problems.

Re: New Job
I admire your courage for getting a job, but I think a diet of oranges and water crackers only is not a good diet.
I know that stopping the odor is priority but I've noticed some of the posters here neglect the fact that you will be suffering from malnutrition which will have a pretty bad impact on your health as you age.
I think it's better to test by removing one type of food at a time instead of removing majority from your diet.

Re: New Job
Haven't been able to log in to post replies for some reason. Anyhow, I started my job on Thursday and that day went smooth except for a few people starring at me with their noses upturned. I just laughed and thought, "I'm not leaving so, get used to it!"
On Friday I heard the instructor say that something stinks but whatever. He's not gonna pay my bills if I quit so why do that.
At the end of the day, I was emotionally drained...but I think things will be better when I'm out of that stuffy classroom and on to my unit.
Thank you all for the well-wishes. I just wish you were with me in the classroom, at least one other stinky soul I could relate to. lol
Anyhow, I'm going to push on and finish my training with flying colors!

Re: New Job
Leelee23,
Even though you went through some of these issues, I'm glad to see you're determined to stick it out, and that you didn't empower them either.

Great thought process!
If it helps you feel any better, last week I went to my doctor, and his office manager/wife had just opened the office and the doctor had not arrived yet. I was the first and only patient there, since I arrived early so as to be first one in and out of there. No other patient was there when the doctor arrived. He said hi to me in a very warm and friendly manner, as we get along wel, and he walked in to where his wife was at her office. Shortly thereafter, she came out with a Fabreze spray can and politely asked me if I was allergic to it before she sprayed the room aiming more toward the floor as opposed to. I smiled and told her that it did not bother me, and I said, "please do, it will smell very nice." and she smiled, and all was fine. Oh well, so I did stink up the place, hahaha. I had a great session with my doctor, and all was well.
I honestly think that the mega dose of Vit D that my gynocologist put me on makes me smell...
Maria
We gotta do what we gotta do, and then move on to what really counts, our relationships with significant people.

Also I really feel with you on the whole not eating anything. Im only eating mandarins and water crackers at the moment, since university is coming up. Good luck with everything!

Hi missyxxmischa
That sounds like a dangerously restricted diet regime to me with a high chance of multiple nutrient deficiencies etc. The best diet is a highly varied diet, some of us have to sacrifice some variety for our condition, however that sounds way too extreme.

Re: New Job
Thankyou for being concerned, but I just feel like I would rather have all those nutrient deficiencies then the odour. I feel i'm at my last straw, that if I go back to university and the smell is still there i'm going to have a breakdown or something. I can't handle the humiliation. I had only about 4 minor incidents about my smell at uni last year, but that was enough to push me over the edge. But I will definitely start adding in more food if the crackers/mandarins don't give me any smell. I am crossing my fingers for myself.

Hi Missyxxmischa
I don't know what foods acerbate your condition but I'm pretty sure you could eat much more than that without problems. Try to methodically, step by step work out what is causing problems.

Re: New Job
I admire your courage for getting a job, but I think a diet of oranges and water crackers only is not a good diet.
I know that stopping the odor is priority but I've noticed some of the posters here neglect the fact that you will be suffering from malnutrition which will have a pretty bad impact on your health as you age.
I think it's better to test by removing one type of food at a time instead of removing majority from your diet.

Re: New Job
Haven't been able to log in to post replies for some reason. Anyhow, I started my job on Thursday and that day went smooth except for a few people starring at me with their noses upturned. I just laughed and thought, "I'm not leaving so, get used to it!"
On Friday I heard the instructor say that something stinks but whatever. He's not gonna pay my bills if I quit so why do that.
At the end of the day, I was emotionally drained...but I think things will be better when I'm out of that stuffy classroom and on to my unit.
Thank you all for the well-wishes. I just wish you were with me in the classroom, at least one other stinky soul I could relate to. lol
Anyhow, I'm going to push on and finish my training with flying colors!

Re: New Job
Leelee23,
Even though you went through some of these issues, I'm glad to see you're determined to stick it out, and that you didn't empower them either.

Great thought process!
If it helps you feel any better, last week I went to my doctor, and his office manager/wife had just opened the office and the doctor had not arrived yet. I was the first and only patient there, since I arrived early so as to be first one in and out of there. No other patient was there when the doctor arrived. He said hi to me in a very warm and friendly manner, as we get along wel, and he walked in to where his wife was at her office. Shortly thereafter, she came out with a Fabreze spray can and politely asked me if I was allergic to it before she sprayed the room aiming more toward the floor as opposed to. I smiled and told her that it did not bother me, and I said, "please do, it will smell very nice." and she smiled, and all was fine. Oh well, so I did stink up the place, hahaha. I had a great session with my doctor, and all was well.
I honestly think that the mega dose of Vit D that my gynocologist put me on makes me smell...
