Embarrassing Body Odor Out of Control (Please Help)
This is an anonymous post because I'm extremely ashamed of this problem. I sweat HORRIBLY no matter how much deodorant, the brand of deodorant, or the temperature outside or temp indoors. I take 2 showers a day and douche weekly, I carry around a washcloth in my purse to mop up the sweat on my forehead and neck, sometimes I'll change on my lunch if a shirt becomes too sweaty. I will purposely sit in front of fans or under air vents whenever possible. I intentionally wear loose fitting clothes, so nothing is too tight thus prone to sweat. I've also got boobs way bigger than I like, and I sweat tons under my boobs. Sometimes, I'll put a cloth under my breasts and then get dressed hoping the cloth will soak up the sweat. But nothing seems to work.. I still continue to sweat and the awful side effect, I smell. Well, at least I can always smell myself and I get totally self conscious and fearful others smell me.
I work with the general public, and it's absolutely mortifying to be talking to a customer while dripping sweat. My hubby is patient and understanding. Every once and a blue moon, he might mention I'm riper than usual. He's never mean about it, but I personally get so worried about my body odor I will avoid sex with my husband and even refuse to sit too close to him. I hate it. I feel disgusting and I worry people judge me as if I don't understand proper hygiene. I really do get the value of hygiene. I just can't stop sweating...
How can I decrease the sweating and odor? I'm out of ideas... I'm to the point I never want to be in crowds or too close to even complete strangers. I've started confining myself to the house (unless I go to work). Help?
