Is it normal to sweat loads and be so embarassed about it?

I sweat a lot. I sweat all day even if im not doing exercise. If i wear tanks or a dress i sweat more if something doesnt absorb my sweat. its embarassing, and i cancel on parties because im scared ill sweat loads in a dress. deodorants dont work, ive tried all the super strong anti perspirant ones, and im tired of being scared of sweating. the more i worry about huge sweat patches, the more i sweat. is it normal to sweat so much? and is there anything i can do to stop myself from sweating? and will it get better as i get older? help! its tiring me out worrying so much :( i hatee huge sweat patches, its gross and a huge turn off for cute guys :P

    There is a condition like this, that i have called hyperhydrosa. You should talk to your docter about it!

    I use to have the sane problem. I use the clinical strength deodorant. At first it didn't work, but I paid 8 bucks for it, and it smelt good, so I kept using it. Now I don't have any problem at all, I don't know if it was the deodorant, or if I just out grew it, but either way I'd give it a shot! Don't expect a quick fix, and try no to worry, because that only causes you to sweat more. Wear black, it won't show as bad :)

    Speak to your doctor coz there is a medical condition that can cause this.

    However, you can have botox under your arms to reduce the sweating or if you are wearing sleeves, another trick people use it to fasten pantie liners to their clothes which will absorb the sweat and the clothes won't stain.

    Hope this helps you.
