Bad breath

My breath smells and it is messing up my life physically, emotionally and socially. I stay in the house a lot which made me parinoid to go out and talk to people and when I talk to people my mouth gets dryer and my breath smells even more. I can tell they smell it and most of the time I even have really bad anxiety because of it. I think people talk about me. I need help. Please help me. I brush my teeth twice a day and sometimes even after every meal. But 3 minutes after brushing it smells like feces. I tried to see if I had tonsil stones but I didn't see anything. Also when I'm breathing out my nose people still smell it and most of the time the smell covers the whole room. I believe it is stopping me from getting a job as well. I really need help. Every time I get to my lowest point I just think, "I'm sick of living an unfair life. It feels like I serve no purpose". Please help, please.

    Hello, I can relate. I tried everything and only one thing worked 100%. I went to the doctor and shared my concerns. I too knew that it came from my stomach. She then gave me 2 tests. One was an xray to check for any throat abnormalities and the second was a blood test to see if it came from the stomach. The blood came out positive for h pylori which is bacteria in the stomach. She gave me medication for 10 days and I am a new person.
