Hi guys!
I have had hyperhidrosis since before I was 7. I am now 22. I think it's gotten worse. But that may also be because when you are little you are not as aware about the social struggles. My hands, feet, and armpits sweat. Sometimes in stressful situations or when it's summer my back, upper lip and in between my legs will sweat. It has definitely impacted my life socially, emotionally and sometimes physically. I hate shaking people's hands because they immediately wipe it off on their pant leg. I will sweat in hot or cold weather. It was definitely hard growing up from elementary school through college with hyperhidrosis because people are very judgemental. I have gotten made fun of and asked why I sweat so much. It grosses people out even some of my own family members. I notice I have to carry spare clothing, deodorant and perfume with me. I can't wear sandals because I will slide around in them especially if going down a hill. It does get better in the aspect of social interactions. I find joking your way out of things helps as well as surrounding yourself with good friends who don't judge. As for the love department, there are sweet guys out there that embrace all of you including the sweaty aspects of you. Thanks for reading! Best of luck and know that you are not alone and it does get better 🙂
