the way i'm feeling

i'm interested as to if other people with hyperhidrosis have ever considered suicide, i don't fear death anymore, i don't know if i would ever seriously consider it, i just feel so low sometimes because doctors don't seem to take it seriously, even my parents don't understand. My mum seems to think that a good remedy for hyperhidrosis is to forget about it..
i have all over hyperhidrosis by the way so my hands and feet are dripping wet most of the day, and i have it on my face as well and behind my legs and on my ass as well.
i used to be a really positive outgoing person but hh has put a stop to all that.
sometimes i think well i've had a fairly good life before my hh got so bad so would it be so bad to end it all now.
it might be better than to go through the rest of my life feeling this miserable and possibly worse.
i dunno.
i don't even feel morbid anymore, just brutally honest and very very tired.

same as couldnt bring myself too
instead just get of my mind on drink instead at the weekends n act like a hermit during the week
hate it :x

Yeap,

I've thought about it too, I try not to thinka long those lines because it is dangerous you sorta just spiral downwards.

i think every person with or without hh will experience suicidal thoughts at least once in their life. it annoys me when i cant tell people close to me why i sometimes feel i wanna die cos they dont know about my condition and say theres nothin wrong with me... i get angry when people without hh that i know are down cos at least they havent got this 24 7 restriction!
btw mark, dnt do anythin otherwise i wont be able to meet you! xx

I'm hearing ya...
I have to admit that I have attempted suicide before...I was jsut so depressed and at the time I really didn't know exactly what I was so upset about, but I can attribute a lot of the anger etc at HH. Esp lately with the weather changing and thinking about the fact that there is NOTHING anyone can do to help HH....not even thinking of cures or anything.
But, in a weeks time my mum (yeah, I am 26 but my mum is the greatest support in the world) are going to confront the surgeon who did my op about 8 years ago about the CS and other problems related to HH. Should be interesting.
I am trying to maek a deal with myself that I will not totally lash out at him, scream or the hardest one...not cry...but I knwo you can understnad how difficult it is and that yeah..i probably will cry along with my mum.
Sorry, bit off topic...
About the suicide stuff...it really is not an answer for anything. You have support here so use us as much as you need if you are really down.
Happy thoughts...

I've never thought about suicide from HH. I guess I just accepted it. I always found ways to somehow get around shaking people's hands. I love winter the best because I get to wear nice leather gloves all the time. But if it's necessary, then I just do it & not really care what the other person thinks.
And if they made fun of me, then I don't give them the chance to be my friend. HH shouldn't be a reason or thought for suicide. Life is too meaningful!!
