I have always had a bad sweating problem in my armpits, weather its from nervousness or from social anxiety. But when it happens im soooo worried that I smell. I get so paranoid that everyone is talking about me saying that I smell. Im constantly smelling myself but can only smell my deoderant. I shower everyday sometimes twice a day, wear secret anti-persperant and wear clean clothes. I work as a waitress at a very fancy restaurant. Today I was sweating ALOT and I swear I heard one of the other girls say "it smells" and pointed over to me. I almost had a panic attack, but then i think if I really smelt that bad, my boss or someone would have to say something to me. I dont know but I hate worrying about this. Anyone else have this problem.
I also suffer from face blushing which both are symtoms of social anxiety. The blushing doesnt bother me as much as the sweating does. I dont have these problems when Im around my boyfriend or family members, just at work so its not like I can ask a family member or anyone if I smell because its only bad at work. This really sucks though, I feel like its holding back from being myself and from enjoying my job.
