Oh, can I relate. For years, from about 5th grade to 9th, my anxiety would cause horrible underarm sweating. Gross, right? I knew it was from anxiety as not even the strongest antiperspirants would stop it, and I could feel it getting worse in stressful situations. Since 9th grade, I have noticed a difference, though I still continue to sweat a bit more than average. At least now I can wear most shirts without worrying about the sweat showing, and strong antiperspirants like Certain Dri help a lot more than they used to. I'm now in 11th grade. I wish I could take back all those years of constant fear and self-consciousness surrounding my embarrassing problem. I think the biggest thing that helped me was therapy - I'd started seeing someone in the spring of my 8th grade year. I don't know if this story will help much, but I hope it does some.. xx
Just know you're not alone.
