Hi Everyone,
I am really at my wits end with my anxiety and for years one particularly distressing symptom I have suffered with is hot flushes in public and getting a really sweaty face (GROSS!). I am a 21 year old woman and this is so disgusting for me, I have to run from any situation I'm in or constantly wipe down my face. People say they don't notice but I am constantly aware of it when it happens.
I use Driclor on my armpits so I have some self-assurance that they aren't going to have sweat stains. I am a really hygienic person, I don't smell (only of perfume hehe) and this is holding me back from social situations etc.
Has anyone else suffered with this? Any tips for how to cool down? As I cannot always calm myself by deep breathing and closing my eyes:(
Thanks in advance xxx
