Aloha!
So, I recently stumbled upon this website while I was searching for information about sweating. Sweating is something that I do very easily and in very large quantities, pretty much all over my body. The earliest that I remember sweating being an issue was probably around late middle school, early high school. It has become increasingly worse as the years moved along.
Dealing with how I sweat is extremely hard given my circumstances. I always feel warm, even in very cold weather. The only time I feel cold is if I am in a cold environment, being wet helps... and stationary for a very long period of time. I don't know what part that plays in my condition, but feeling hot and the panic I get from worrying about sweating just makes me pour. To make matters worse, I live in Houston, Texas where this summer we have had a record number of consecutive days in the triple digits. It is very humid here and it often feels warmer than what the temperature indicates. Compound that with the fact that I don't have A/C in the ride. Double compound?? that with the fact that I have a labor intensive job in a furniture store warehouse with a broke A/C system, where I have to interact with customers while physically exerting myself. Side compound THAT with the fact that I attend a university that boasts its "sprawling" campus, within which I have to walk very long distances in the Texas heat... And you might have a small glimpse into my experience.
So I just deal with it, there is really not much I can do besides the hand towel, bottle of water, and carefully maneuvering through places with A/C. Sure, its embarrassing, but I refuse to let it be debilitating. I sweat A LOT! or A BUCKET! I carry extra changes of clothes! I probably look really weird when sweat beads up on my large bald head! I sweat out shirts like a tennis player in a historically long match! Aaaaaaand if your in the same boat, that's why I'm here... to share... and to help if I can.
