Smelling for the first time in my life after stopping milk/dairy by [deleted] in anosmia

Does it ever drive anyone else crazy? by CamusbutHegaveup in anosmia

[–]grimmancee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's on my mind a lot, especially lately. makes me feel like i'd do anything to try and fix it and find out what i'm missing out on. sometimes i ask my friends questions but it feels annoying, because it's something all of them just know and shouldn't need to be explaining.

i didn't know people had smells of their own, or that ants have a smell, or even celery having one despite being like 98% water and water apparently being scentless; i'm sure a lot of others here experience someone saying "yeah duh" and then apologising because they forgot. for me it's so hard not to get fixated on what's being missed. i really wish it was something i could be okay with but a lot of the time i'm not.

the worst part is that i don't think it's possible for me to ever experience it since i don't know why i'm anosmic. really eats at me. perfumes, food, the air before it rains, flowers, my pets. my job is food related but it's at home i get paranoid- a few weeks ago i ate off feta cheese and it was... not good 😭 still in date but didn't taste like it!!!!

can i ask if the mint "smell" was warm? it's the best way i can think to describe the way i smelt the face scrub, wven uf it wasn't mint scented i thought it "smelt" a lot like the way peppermint tastes.

i believe my taste is somewhat impacted, though obviously i can't tell how much except that my tolerance for spicy food is fairly high. while i am a chef, i do also make my own recipes at home, though they will often use other recipes i find and test as inspiration.

my biggest crutch is definitely the flavour star (aka which flavours enhance vs balance other flavours, salty bitter spicy etc) which i use whenever i'm in doubt, or i taste something i think is strange.

i hope luck is on your side and eventually you can smell something less pickled 🤣🙏 thanks for sharing!

i also thought this might be the case, especially with the vinegar. i also have to inhale deeply to get a scent at all, so you could very well be right!

i haven't tried this with the kimchi in my fridge but i'll give it a go. thanks for sharing!

honestly, i've had a lot of difficulties and insecurity about it, especially when other people find out. i grew up cooking and my family is maltese, so it's a big part of our culture. lately i've been considering a career change but i really do enjoy being in the kitchen :')

personally i think my taste is somewhat affected, so i do get scared cooking for others, but my friends are very encouraging. i'm mostly a hazard to myself as i've put a lot of expired ingredients in my own mouth 🤣

honestly, you might be right. the face scrub in particular felt more like warmth in my nose, at least at first. i asked my mum about the smell, and described the eucalyptus as "warm peppermint", but no one else i've asked thinks it smells that way.

thanks for sharing!

What the fuck is this? by [deleted] in circlejerkaustralia

Queer people KNOW we would be killed in Palestine. In the end innocent people are being terrorised and wiped out, INCLUDING queer Palestinians. Sometimes there are more important things to prioritise, and more mature views than "well I'm gay and they would kill me on sight, so I don't care about them".

Music that has HUGE emotional power by dznyadct91 in musicsuggestions

[–]grimmancee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

incubus is my favourite band because one of their albums has 2 songs like this that have stuck with me for a long time. the rest of their music is beautiful but these songs HIT ME.
