hh and relationships.

are there any people here with hh that had/are in realationships? i would imagine it's easier for girls with hh to be in relationships compared to a guy with hh.

I had a long term relationship which ended recently. The odd thing is, I never broke into a nervous sweat at any time I was with her. My problem was purely anxiety based and I guess I didn't feel anxious when I was with her. I guess being in love and being happy can help? We always spoke openly about our feelings, failings and insecurities. I felt I had nothing to hide and so I guess I felt really comfortable around and in her presence.

gloomysunday, what kind of hh do u have?

I'm currently in a relationship and I've been with her for over a year now. I have palmar and plantar hh. I've told her about it and showed her just so she would really know how it is. I believe i have a pretty mild case but there are times when I get really anxious or nervous though.

My girlfriend always wants to hold my hands when we're just walking outside. She never fails to tell me that things will be okay and she tells me she loves my hands the way they are. She knows how bad it makes me feel but shes always there for me.

My problem has always been purely linked to anxiety. My face and forehead would noticeably sweat whenever something happened to make me even slightly nervous. Common triggers included going out for meals, meetings at work, interviews, talking to people in bars etc. Whenever I was alone I never had a problem, so I know it was purely mental. I tried hypnosis and drugs (Beta Blockers) to no avail. However, I do not visibly sweat at all now thanks to Anhydrol Forte which I apply to my forehead. It's given me real confidence and is helping me to overcome my fears and get back into the world again. It's been a real life saver.

Hinder,

You wrote that it would be easier for girls with HH to be in a relationship than guys with HH. I don't agree, I feel it's harder for girls as girls aren't supposed to sweat but it is more acceptable for a guy.
