Sweating is normal:) some people sweat a lot and the lucky ones not as bad. I had the same problem when I was 20. The doctor made it seem like it was weird. That gave me anxiety. I went to another doctor and he told me that it is normal. The best thing I did was prepare myself. When I was going to talk to someone, my heart would pound and I my hands would get all clammy. I just knew I was going to be anxious, But I just took a few deep breaths and kinda laughed in my head. You will be fine. Some doctors even prescribe something called drysol. It basically prevents swear in your pits and hands. I used it when I was a teenager. It works pretty good. I hope I was able to help:)

I sweat like a fiend too. Even when I'm not overly anxious. I always have. I had to start using deodorant when I was 9 - 5 long years from the onset of puberty!!

In summer I can only wear black or white tops (few sweat stains) and I literally drip swear from my pits!! At least it doesn't smell!!

Anxiety makes it worse. I break out into a sweat sheen and my hands and feet get super sweaty! My best friend is similar, except she is more of a forehead sweater.

There are some really good treatments out there. I have considered getting Botox under my arms (but if I'm going to spend all that cash on Botox, I'm doing my frown-y forehead first!!).

You really are not alone with the sweating thing!!
