The key to getting rid of this anxiety is doing something you love to do and that easily passes time. An example of something you might do to relieve your stress is exercise (lift weights, run, etc.).\n\nGood Luck!

You didn't give enough information about yourself but you may be suffering from "social anxiety disorder". Look it up on the internet and if the symptoms fit your description, there are medications that can help. I've had a lot of success with and prescribe a beta blocker called "propranolol". I tell my patients to take it before they give a speech or engage in social events. The medication helps but the real treatment is psychotherapy...

Applications of heat, mild streaching and relaxing often help.  Try this before going to meds.

You might want to check out information on Social Phobia. This is one of the most common forms of anxiety disorders (more common than Agoraphobia). Over 7% of the population suffers from social anxiety disorder.\n\nIf you have social phobia you usually worry that others will notice your anxiety because of your blushing, sweating, shaking, or difficulty getting your words out, (for example).\n\nOther fears triggered by social situations include:\n\n    * I'll look uncomfortable or awkward\n    * I'll seem weird or strange\n    * I'll appear stupid or incompetent\n    * I'll look embarrassed\n    * I'll be boring\n\nThese fears tend to be triggered when just anticipating the social situation. You may also have noticed that, after the event, you often feel bad or worse when thinking about how you "performed". How you actually felt in the situation can play a big role in this "post-mortem". \n\nThe Social Phobia/Social Anxiety Association, a non-profit organization, seeks to educate about social phobia:\nhttp://www.socialphobia.org/\n\nThey list some good self help books here:\nhttp://www.socialanxietyinstitute.org/bookstore.html\n\nYou should talk with your doctor and ask for a referral to a psychologist who specailizes in Anxiety Disorders.

There are some prescription medications (Paxil, for one) on the market for social anxiety disorder, if it's really serious. You should consult your doctor or a psychiatrist if you think you have a serious, chronic problem with anxiety. If you have situational anxiety - stage fright, for instance - there's a medication called Inderal (sp?) that works extremely well without affecting performance. \n\nI'm not a doctor, don't know anything about your medical history, and wouldn't presume for a minute to give you advice about how to treat anxiety. I just wanted to pass along some of the medical treatments I've heard about.\n\nFor less serious bouts of anxiety, there are many possibilities, including exercise, psychotherapy, and peer-to-peer counseling.

If you're in the Chicago area, try NAMI of Greater Chicago (www.namigc.org), or go to www.nami.org to find a NAMI affiliate in your area. There, they can direct you to support services, etc. \n\nAlso, have you tried support groups on WebMD? They include people from all over the country. It's a great way to hear what others have gone through and what's worked for them. Plus, it's online, so you don't have to go out in public :) \n\nPsychologists can also help, and may even direct you to a psychiatrist if he or she thinks you'd benefit from medication to reduce your social anxiety symptoms. \n\nHope this helps!

I am not a doctor, but my sister once had this problem. I'll share with you what helped her.\n\nSo, the way my sister treated this was to find out what the cause of the sweating was. It turned out that her anxiety was causing it. Yes, anxiety about life and stuff in general (school, work, and so on). Do you think you are anxious often? It's a common cause of excessive sweating for people, but it's treatable.\n\nAnyway, the best thing you could do right now is get yourself in to see a doctor. You need a professional opinion to actually isolate the cause. Remember to do this! In the meantime, though, you could pick up some special talc from the supermarket, chemist, or other vendor. This product has cornstarch in it and is often used on babies. My sister tells me that this will stop most of your sweating, so go out with confidence and good luck!

It sounds like you suffer from anxiety disorder as well as some depression. They usually go hand in hand. I would recommend talking to a doctor, there are some support groups as well as self help books you can get. The self help books may be a good start if you are not keen on socializing with others just yet.

I have social anxiety and have had it all my life.  It's really hard for me to do anything that involves a lot of people, or being the center of attention, or dealing with people of power, going on interviews or being judged by anyone. I never found a way to deal with it without medication. And most medicine didnt help me either. But the only thing that has helped at all is Effexor.  I used to be scared to go through a drive through or say hello to anyone or go through a checkout, but the Effexor has really helped that.  I highly recommend it.  I still have a lot of problems to overcome, but I am well on my way.  So maybe I'm not the best person to help you since I'm not completely cured.  But I also suggest therapy.  I haven't been courageous enough to do that yet, but I know I have to, because it's the only step thats left lol.  \nIt really helps to talk to someone, but not someone in your every day life because they cant really be objective.  I have always wanted to talk to someone that has social anxiety, so you might consider that as well. \nThere is also a book I read that may be of some help to you.  It's called Beyond Shyness: How to Conquer Social Anxieties by Jonathan Berent, ACSW.  It's a very informative book and very easy to read and understand.  It gives you little quizzes that helps you set your goals to overcoming social anxiey.  It's great at helping you determine your specific problems. And it gives you advice on how to overcome your fears.  \nI hope some of this has helped you! If you need anyone to talk to feel free to email me :)  Good luck!

(m)\n\nOvercoming Stress \nYou Can Fight Back And Win\nWhen you are under extreme amounts of stress, you may feel like there is no way you can overcome your problems. You believe you'll just have to cope until the situation improves. The good thing is, you don't have to put up with the negative effects of stress. You can fight back and come out on top. It's not hard to do. Here are several ways to make yourself a winner when the pressure starts to mount.\n\n\nGo with H 2 0\nAmazingly, drinking water can greatly improve how you feel. Water is often overlooked even though it is the most essential nutrient. You know how it feels when things get tough. Your mouth gets dry, you start to sweat and your heart begins to palpitate. Sometimes when under stress, you may also forget to drink. This can lead to dehydration and even more severe symptoms. Get some water and help your body return to its normal state. \n\n\nSet it aside\nSometimes it is actually best to put aside a stressful problem until a later time when it can be dealt with more effectively. This isn't procrastination if used in a proper manner. Maybe you are having problems with a co-worker or family member. You may want to confront them, but you also know that they aren't ready to discuss the issue. Waiting another day or two could help both of you be better prepared to handle the problem. \n\n\nAvoid snack attacks\nYour first reaction to a stressful situation may be to reach for a candy bar. Unfortunately, this can do more harm than good.\nAlthough you may get a quick high from the sugar, you will probably send your blood sugar on a roller coaster. After the initial good feeling of indulgence wears off, you may experience even more tiredness and anxiety. Try healthy snacks like fruits or fresh vegetables instead. \n\n\nFind an outlet\nThere is usually pent up energy building inside you during a tough situation. What you may need to find is a way to release it.\nHaving a good cry or laughing with a friend may be just the cure you are needing. By dealing with your stress in a positive manner, you can turn around a negative situation. Keep these tips in mind the next time you feel pressure or anxiety. As with any problem, in order to feel better, you have to take care of yourself.

That's actually true. A neurologist can help; they can perform a surgery that will sever nerve endings leading to your armpits, in order to stop overexcessive sweating.
