How am I meant to live?

I kinda understand about not wanting to go outside for possible fear of ridicule and derision. Just hang in there, try not to focus on the things that are frightening you. The more you obsess, the more likely the things you don't want will happen. So try to focus your attention, on something else. No matter how difficult it proves to be. Good luck...

I understand what you mean, unfortunately. Unfortunately, because I am in the same situation. I dropped out of uni too, and it was a struggle there too... in the winter when it was hot in the classroom, and in the summer, well, it's not hard to imagine. As soon as spring comes, I'm in "danger". Now it's very hot here. I am sweating a little while I'm typing this. If I had to go out, be among people, being in the sun... I would drip. I have generalized HH, I start to sweat on my face, back and butt first. Nice, huh? You can't even feel comfortable in bars, malls, restaurants, walking on the streets, etc. with this ****.
I don't know what I'm gonna do. I sent an email to a local organization here, but they haven't answered me yet. My problem is that I like sports, I like to train, and I'm not willing to put up with any weird and dangerous side effects (like the ones surgery has... wtf, cutting my nerves? No way! Or botox injections... I mean, botox injections to someone in his 20s? In my face? repeatedly? Maybe forever? No way).

I don't have HH myself, but that seems really tough. the only really embarrassing situation I have been in, was sweating too much while I was getting a lift back home from school by a neighbour. It was basically due tome wearing a thick school blazer and I was too afraid to take it off. But for that little while it was hell. But to the OP I still think you have to focus your attention somewhere else, otherwise all the things you dread seem to come true. Trust me, I know.::

Yeah I get the worn out and haggard feeling too.

I've only just started leaving my house at night with my dog..after being isolated for many years.

Hmm it's a tough one to work out really. The 'automatic' feelings we get inside of us..every time we go outside. I fidn mirrors REALLY difficult too..which just adds to my complications.

If it's just the feeling of being and looking wrecked/haggard. Then maybe you should try daily light exercise. Change your diet..if it isnt very good...to a more healthy balanced one. These are things I have to work towards too.

It'll (im guessing) take around 1-2 months of steady exercise, fresh air and eating until we start to feel change in ourselves. We might find that we feel less stressed and panicky. We also may start to believe that we look fresh..because we will feel it inside...backed up by all of the good food we'll be eating and the exercise we'll be getting.

I personally just think it takes those first one or two months..and we'll start to see and feel the benefits. Like most things though..it takes hard work and effort to see results.

Try anticholinergic meds. Up the dose to whatever side effects you can stand. They really do help. Also change your eating habits. Try one big meal a day, if that doesn't work, try several tiny meals a day. Also eat a lot of liquids since you are already dehydrated.
