SWEATY HANDS
Posted On: 07/01/2007 07:17:52

When i get the slightest bit nervous or anxious my hands get really cold and sweaty and its sooo embarssing and makes me feel very self conscious. For example yesterday i went to the mall with a friend to Dillards. My friends used to work there and so he knew everyone in the store and i was being introduced to all these people...and my hands were cold and sweaty and i felt like people were thinkin...damn this kid has no confidence. Its like shakin hands with a corpse. God i hate it! lol. sounds retarted but it really is just so embarassing. This is what i have to go through every friggen day of my life...just part of my anxiety. Belive it or not i researched this problem on the net and found a surgeon in texas that specifically cures the problem of people who get cold sweaty hands which 95 % of the time is caused by anxiety. only thing is the procedure costs like 6000 bucks! if i had the money id get it done though haha cause shaking hands with someone who has cold and clamy hands leaves a very bad first impression in my opinion and is especially bad if your goin for an interview....totally blows. but i know its totally related to my anxiety cause i kid you not, the second i walked out of the mall my hands dried right up and were nice and warm again. lol so yeah i kinda hope im not alone with this really embarassing epidemic.

LoL..Okay, this isn't funny, but I think it's funny someone else has problems like this. I'm new to this site and I thought it was all in my head. I get bad sweaty hands too when I am nervous and I hate it. Like you said, especially when your going for a job interview and you shake hands with your possible future employer, but I figure most times they understand considering it is an interview. I get sweaty hands just driving in my car. It's non-stop humiliating, so I know how ya feel!! Damn, wish I had 6g's too!!

Sorry you have to go through this! I know a lot of people who experience this - both with anxiety and without. (((HUGS))) It'll get better over time, I'm sure.

sorry to hear about the sweaty hands.  I can relate.  Mine just went away by itself as i dealt with the anxiety.

I would try the least toxic treatments first and maybe talk to ur doc about them.  Be careful about "permanent " surgeries for that.  Get your information from unbiased sources.  Good luck.

can't that be relieved by meds thats basically a sympton of panic attack..I know when I have a  panic attack I'm prone to  sweating and its embarrassing that if in A/C and be sweating and people look at me like wtf. Since taking Klonopin I've been relieved from that.
