#excessive sweating

[a-totally-reasonable-username]

I really hope i can get effective hyper hidrosis treatment without having to wait years still. Most of the time I can't do embroidery, i can't see by hand, i can't touch food, i can't write on paper, i can barely ever read physical books it's so fucking annoying and disabling. I keep having to take off my thumb brace so i can wipe it dry. It makes holding my crutches a lot harder. Actually it makes holding most things harder. I'm always drying my hands off on my pants and shirts. And when it's at its worst i can't even use my phone because no touch screen can read it properly if your hands are literally dripping wet.

I hate hyper hidrosis so much

If there was a single thing i could change about my body, anything, i would take away the hyperhidrosis. Not the shitty joints or digestive system, not my circulatory system or my neurology issues, not the autoimmune bullshit. No, i would choose to get rid of the stupid hyperhidrosis.

sometimes when I'm on the couch with a fan blasting in my face and toweling off my sweat drenched hair from ~standing in the kitchen making dinner~ I'm like, you know when I wasn't on my antidepressants it wasn't *that* bad (yes, yes it was)

Ok everyone do we have any hyperhydrosis babes or just really sweaty people working in retail? My clothes get absolutely soaked through my bra, shirt, AND apron because of sweat throughout the day. I can not STAND the feeling of wet clothes on my skin, and it easily can lead to overstimulation and anxiety attacks.

I can change my clothes but they get sweaty again within half an hour so it feels more like wasting time and more clothes to wash everyday. Plus the effort of changing in such a tiny cramped bathroom often will ramp up my sweat production anyway so they just get soaked as soon as I put them on

I'm looking into cooling vests to help with the overheating, but all of them have downsides so significant that there's no point in buying them for my situation

Evaporative Vests: Dunk em in cool water and it will evaporate as it keeps your body cool. I'm working in retail so I can't have my clothes getting wet and looking soaked, plus the wet clothes on skin sensory issues

Icepack vests: pretty much what it says on the can. Can be tight and sometimes don't last longer than half an hour with my body temperature. I do have access to a freezer for storage, but I have no idea if my boss would accommodate me since it's for work use

Water circulation cooling vests: A pump shoots icewater through tubing embedded in the vest! Seems great! Except that the pumps are often extremely loud and noticeable, or you need a side pack to carry it like an oxygen bag. Not discreet at all, plus idk if I could get accommodations for it and it would make me INCREDIBLY self conscious...

Being excessively sweaty caused me an anxiety attack so bad I had to go home early, and it was both extremely embarrassing and humiliating to me. However, I want to try my hardest to find a solution that works for me! I've had sweat issues all my life and it's caused me a lot of misery, but I need to be able to work without looking disgusting or feeling disgusting. Helpppp 😭

It should not make me feel this wrecked and terrible to do a cursory sweeping of my small room’s floor.

having the worst sensory day ever i fear

first i started my day off sweating at the health clinic cause i had to get an EKG and the temperature shifts between the cold outside and warm inside triggered my hyperhidrosis so i was dripping sweat from my face and back which isn't unusual for me but is still annoying

then after the ekg i went to school and the same temperature shift happened again which im used to but it was worse today than it usually is, maybe because i walked a little faster and got my heartrate up(that usually triggers it)

so as i was sweating so bad it was pouring down my face and dripping from my chin i went to the bathroom to cool off and then fire alarm went off and i could smell smoke. so i went outside with no jacket to freeze my ass off. since its about an hour til my next class and the potential fire felt serious i decided to just go home(i live super close by) and get changed into something warmer + get out if my now wet with sweat clothes

now im back at school(no actual fire thank god) and i desperately need a shower. i washed my hair two days ago but the repeated sweating especially around my face, hairline and scalp where my hypohidrosis is the worst means that my heart gets gross way faster than what is "normal".

im genuinely considering calling in sick cause its actually torture for me, i hate when my hair is gross and sweaty and my entire body is itchy from the excessive sweating. this is hell

Dear people with hyperhidrosis: let's hold hands. Lets high five. I do not care if they're sweaty. Let's hug. Let's cuddle. I do not care if your armpits are swamps and smell bad. You can take off your shoes and socks even if your feet are very sweaty. I do not care. You deserve comfort too. People with hyperhidrosis I Love You.
