My BODY is my own ENEMY? WHAT would you do if YOU were IN my POSITION?
Question Details:I’m 20. O.K. I’ve discovered that there isn’t a cure for this yet, but maybe I can discover a natural cure. Whenever I am under a great amount of stress, my apocrine glands tend to release this horrible odor. It can stink up an entire room. Gross. My doctors thought that I was mental(schizophrenic), but the fact is that they hadn’t heard of this problem. I”m like a SKUNK. Why is it that people like me survived? It’s a way my body tells me that I am in emotional or physical danger. When I was a few years younger I tried to commit suicide because of this. I attempted to clean and rub every part of my body with alcohol, but the odor remained. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. It is HORRIBLE to FEEL like an OUTCASTE and to be treated like your not clean. Guys think I’m beautiful, but over time when they find that I am giving off this odor, they ignore me. I don’t accept others into my life anymore and do not plan to have a boyfriend in the future. It’s painful.
When you have a problem like yours the drastic emotions have to go away, as you already know, you haven’t been able to do anything about the problem anyway… Why fight it?
And now you are thinking what could I possibly know about your situation…. Well, nothing for sure except, you just told me about it. And, I have an answer for you.
You need to stop the complaining, it lends itself to helping you feel like an outcast and probably makes you look like an outcast. The best you can do, is be the best you can be. Never stop trying, always put your best foot forward and learn everything you can from top to bottom. If your disease has no cure, find out why. If nothing else, it will make it easier to explain to some of us more ignorant humans. But giving up is useless, it make you useless and things you do useless.
Nothing is more true than the old saying about stinking thinking in your case. Your feelings about yourself make things worse because you say so… So, stop it! Get a grip.
Start a new policy by telling people that; if they want to be your friend they have to accept this fact about you, if not, you won’t hate them but at least you know where you both stand. If they do accept you, they need to be overly honest as your friend, insist on it. In short order two things will happen. First, you will be able to look at yourself differently, your disease will become second to your attitude which needs to happen for you. Second, and just as important as the first, if your not real careful while following the first rule you may end up with a friend! Maybe more, it’s totally up to you.
There’s really only two types of people in the world: The quiters and the non-quiters… Don’t be a quiter, go out and let your style of living give hope to others that are not as fortunate as you.
I had a friend who was the ugliest person in the world. Many people simply ignored him or looked away, but it didn’t matter, we spoke the same language and liked the same things. We both liked girls and talked about them endlessly. If he wasn’t killed in Viet Nam, I’m sure he would have had a wife and a bunch of ugly kids by now. He didn’t have a chance to show his life….. You do.
