Most of the time I have to wear dark coloured tops so my sweating won't be as obvious to everyone. My brain tells my body that I'm hot even when I'm freezing cold which causes me to sweat excessively under my arms. It's not easy being me. Hyperhidrosis forces you to be antisocial; It cripples self-esteem and puts a dent in one's confidence. It's a daily struggle. I was not up for showing my face and underarm sweating picture to the world but then I realized that people need to know that people who are affected by hyperhidrosis are not people who don't like to shower or wash their garments—it's a struggle and a kind of disease that interferes with our normal daily lives.
