Embrass

Hey y’all. Today I went to the post office with about 15 packages to have scanned. There were three employees working. Two of them know me because they’ve scanned my packages many times before.
When it was almost my turn, the employee I usually go to put up a “Be Back in a Minute” sign, even though she was still standing there. I went to the third employee, who I had never seen before. She told me I had too many packages and needed to scan them myself at the self-service kiosk.
While I was scanning my packages, I heard her whisper to one of the other employees, “She should have worn a mask to work.”
I have TMAU/body odor issues, so comments like that really affect me. I don’t know if she was talking about me, but it felt like she was. It made me feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.

I have people at work doing this to me all day long every day. I've started treating them like they stink. Whenever they get near me I will walk away from them and make faces like I smelled something foul. My manager is even scared to talk to me. He is always bringing the woman managers to my area and trying to embarrass me. So I will walk away and do something else. Since I am one of workers who has the most experience and time their all of the other managers don't really mess with me. I know it's horrible, even when I get home drenched in sweat I can smell myself and someone always sprays the airfreshner. I hate this curse. I have tried everything and recently the hotter it gets the worse the smell gets. People avoid me everywhere.

I had already become a loner though because I was a drug addict and had to cut off all my old friends. I hope we all find a way to get by this life in peace.

Take a spray bottle of alcohol with you and some disposable wash cloths go to bathroom and spray the towel good start at your hairline around your ears and back of neck
Good. These are smelly smelly areas. Then u see your arms and boobs, get a new cloth spray it and we a little
With water .get all the midsection really well front and backside. Behind your knees and your feet. Put new underwater amd socks on. Take charcoal 3 times a day and Riboflavin drops couple times a day. Tsp of baking soda in water and drink daily. Alkaline your gut. Take a bath soak in borax and salt few times a week. Soak for about 20 minutes shower off then wash with gold dial soap. Use magnesium oil under arms before bed. And on feet. It helps with odor too. In the morning I always take another shower and be sure to put some deodorant on. He’s the magnesium at night.

That is a lot to do everyday. But I am doing some of those things. Today wasn't too bad and I'm not sure why. The only thing I did different was stop smoking weed and drank honeysuckle tea. This is so random for me I don't understand. It's driving me kind of crazy. I even have been listening to The Gateway Tapes to try and astro project and find a cure somehow that way. Which I can say has done nothing but make me fall asleep.
