At work someone said I had body odor and so my supervisor told me that. It was said politely but still she questioned my culture, whether I use a deodorant in my country. I am in Canada now and I struggle from strong perfumes people wear. But I never pointed fingers, although I could and want and now I regret I didn’t do that.
I tried to listen to her calmly but later that day I felt shaken and cried. Few days later I told my friend from dance studio and she said she had sensitive nose and never felt me having stinky sweat. Again I feel like this was all exaggerated and untrue towards me and feel sick, I couldn’t sleep well.
Now I am reluctant to go to work because of that, don’t want to smile and help as I usually do trying to go extra mile. Because no matter what people don’t notice. They don’t know me very well and already made assumptions about my person.

Trying to find an information about scent free deodorants. I don’t have any allergies that I know about. Something to by in Canada or particularly in British Columbia 🤔 I am skeptical to buy well advertised on Facebook, although it says organic and has good reviews 🤔🤔🤔

Over the last year I think I’ve developed scent sensitivity. At first, I was pissed if on my roommate who is young and has everything scented, all card products, and uses strong perfumes.
And you know, except minor issues she is nice and friendly and I was shy to tell that bothered me. Now I regret that.

But now I feel scents wherever I go, when someone comes on a bus wearing cologne and it fills the interior, I cannot sit behind that person, I can’t walk behind them on the street. The scent hits my nose and then I feel even the faintest smell of a soap or from the clothes!
🤯😳And I feel annoyed and anxious. I started feeling like something bothering me in the chest, can’t scrape it out. And I be more anxious, gasping air.
Like Jo free air for me.
So my mood drops and I start thinking why is that happening, why people don’t understand and why can’t I say anything 😭
I have to have a little pouch with coffee beans and sometimes just stick my nose there to breathe😢😭

I don’t know why it developed. I had last year very emotionally and physically draining but I kept working on myself and kept going, I don’t know whether it is all connected.

It’s hard to live in such world with unfriendly air.
