Seeking Guidance on Dealing with Unpleasant Breath Due to Health and Anxiety

Assalamu Alaikum, everyone. I’m facing a bit of a difficult situation and would appreciate some advice or a fatwa if possible. Lately, I’ve been dealing with a noticeable bad smell, mainly from my breath, caused by a health problem combined with anxiety. I’m working hard on both the medical and mental sides to fix it, but it’s been tough. I only realized recently that anxiety was a big part of this, so I’m treating that too. The challenging part is that to get better, I need to be around people more (like exposure therapy), and I have to continue my studies and eventually find a job. I know this might make others uncomfortable, and I completely understand because, honestly, it bothers me as well. I’m worried that by causing discomfort, I might be harming others or even sinning, especially since some people are very sensitive to smells. It’s really embarrassing and humiliating at times, but I keep reminding myself that as long as Allah is pleased with me and rewards my patience and effort, that’s what matters most. I remember the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advised us not to attend the mosque for prayer if we have eaten garlic or onions, and I’ve also heard that angels dislike bad odors. But this isn’t something I can control easily, and it affects more than just prayer times-it’s my everyday life. I tried isolating myself to find a solution, but being alone just made things worse because of my thoughts. InshaAllah, this is temporary. Even if I unintentionally cause discomfort to others, if it helps me return to a normal life, I hope that’s acceptable. Maybe I’m just overthinking it, but people’s reactions and comments make me feel really guilty. By the way, this has been going on for about a year now, although I noticed some issues since childhood, but it wasn’t as bad until recently. Jazakum Allahu Khairan for listening. Any advice or dua is greatly appreciated.
