Feel harassed by offensive smells

[joshrp]

Hi,

I’ve always had hyperactive senses, but my sense of smell is just bothering me. I don’t know if there are such things as olfactory hallucinations, but everywhere I go, I seem to smell very offensive scents, and I am always paranoid that I am the one emanating the odor, even though I shower, use deodorant, wear clean clothes every day, brush my teeth etc. Sometimes I go to Mass and I swear that I smell feces or something wretched, and I have left Mass in the middle of the liturgy fearing that I reek and am bothering the people around me, even though I don’t really have a clue where the perceived odor is coming from, whether it is really present or something is wrong with my neurons or something.

I am extremely anxious about going to social events because of this. I do not know who to talk to about it. I’ve mentioned it to my parish priest. I’m wondering if I should go see a neurologist or something. But I wanted to ask that you all please pray for me that I find out what is going on, whether there is something defective in my personal hygiene, or something is going on in my mind. I’ve sometimes thought that something demonic might be going on, but I don’t really know much about that. I don’t know, just please pray to whatever saints or angels, or my guardian angel, or my patron St. John the Evangelist, or my favorite St. Therese the Little Flower. This disturbing recurence of offensive odors is interfering with my ability to interact with others, as I am always paranoid that I am exuming unpleasant odors, and I don’t know what the hell is going on.

Lord, may a good doctor be able to help Joshua. May he/she let him know if he is actually giving off an odor or just hallucinating. If there is anything demonic involved, please let it be made known to Joshua so he can be delivered. Please grant Joshua strength, peace, courage and the deepest faith. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.

 

[Adora]

Lord, please help Joshua find out with certainty the source of the smell and give him the knowledge to deal with it accordingly. If he needs help, please put people who are able to do so in his path. Amen.

St. Michael, the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray and, do thou, oh Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into Hell, Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the earth seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.



If ever you were going to leave a place or situation due to these smells, please, don’t let it be church, Mass, Adoration, or prayer.

God bless you.

josh, olfactory hallucinations do exist. Can you make an appointment with your doctor to talk about it?

Praying that you’ll find out the source of this problem and a way to deal with it.

I’ve had similar experiences during Mass. I’ve also seen demonic things bothering other people during Mass. I think it’s a gift for me, but pray to God for discernment of what yours may be. Sometimes the devil wants to scare you.

I will pray for God to lead you.

This could very well be a physical problem with your olfactory senses. olfactory hallucinations

See your physician immediately. … and if need be the Dr. can refer you to another specialist.

More than likely it is not you that smells! What a dilemma; I feel so bad for you.

God bless you with His Grace and grant you a speedy resolution to this most serious issue. Amen.
