Anxiety Due To Bad Smell, Unable To Tolerate. What Is The Reason?
Hello,
I started to smell a bad smell about 3-4 years ago when somebody moved into my house who I was not comfortable with, and I could smell the smell everywhere, in my room, when I was out of the house, everywhere, for a good few months. Finally it disappeared without me realising. Then again recently (after the person moved back in after a few weeks away) I got back the bad smell and it makes me feel sick and uncomfortable. I'm wondering whether this maybe has a psychological reason like anxiety over the person or something of that sort? Perhaps I smelt this odour that the person naturally has, and held on to it as a bad thing and so am troubled by it constantly. However, this person has moved in and out frequently and I have only had this problem twice (albeit for a prolonged time). Any answers or suggestions would be great, thankyou.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
First of all,you should have asked other people about the smell. Whether others are experiencing it or not. If they are not experiencing that smell,them it is just psychological feelings and anxiety related to it.
Secondly, It is not the smell, it is the attitude towards that person, that matters. We tolerate very bad hospital smells for the sake of our beloved who is hospitalized. Are not we?
That is it. Just learn the smell and it is gone.
Wish you good future
