Hi, thought I'd join the discussion. I've been suffering from Hyperhidrosis now for 6months. It never used to be a problem in my life, and it's changed me so much ever since I started recognising it. It's taken over my life and I'm pretty sure it's the root cause of my anxiety and depress. I've have had many panic attacks just being stressed about sweating and it really takes its toll after 30 40 times. I find it hard just being around my friends as I feel like they won't accept it or that I'm just incredibly unstable when in reality I am fairly out going and up for a lot of things, it's really held me back I don't know what to do about it. I've arranged some CBT after going to my gp and really don't know what's going to happen. I've retracted myself from my social life, I've distanced myself from my girlfriend and I've been quieter ever since. I hope I get over it at some point
