I would love summer if it weren't for the extreme sweating...

Sorry this is just a short rant.

I actually like summer, in theory. You can do lots of things outside, it's warm, the days are long, all the plants are in bloom...

But I just can't enjoy it, because as soon as I walk even 20 meters outside on a 30-degree day, my entire back and chest are soaked in sweat. And by soaked, I really mean soaked. My body literally turns into a waterfall. I once weighed myself before and after a slow 45-minute walk. I weighed 1.1 kg less afterwards because I had sweated so much... that can't be normal...

I haven't been diagnosed with hyperhidrosis, but I strongly suspect that I have it. For me, however, it's mainly limited to my back from top to bottom and my chest and stomach. My entire torso is one big waterfall. I hardly sweat on my hands and feet, but during extreme exertion, my head and arms join in. It's hell. I can't wear colored T-Shirts, that's a no-go. I even quit a job once because we had to wear gray polo shirts as work clothes. I can't meet women because who wants a sweat-soaked man who leaves your arms completely wet after hugging him once? I can't enjoy the most normal things outside in the summer, even sitting in a café when it's 30 degrees is impossible. I sit there and sweat like a pig.

A few weeks ago, I went to a farmers' market with my family when it was about 26 degrees Celsius. After three minutes, I was already completely sweaty and hated it. It was supposed to be a cozy day with the family... but for me personally, it wasn't.

I have to say, it's not even the heat that bothers me. I actually like warmth in theory, but I've learned to hate it because I sweat so excessively at the slightest movement.

I have to admit that I am obese. I weigh about 95 kg and am 1.75 m tall. My BMI is therefore 31. I have a little hope that it might just be my excess weight that causes me to sweat so much, but I also know other people who are even heavier than me and who hardly sweat at all in summer... Over the past year, I have already lost a good 20-25 kg (my peak was just under 120 kg), but I haven't noticed any difference in terms of sweating.

I just hope that I'll reach my normal weight by next summer and then be able to really enjoy the summer without wandering around like a walking waterfall...

Does anyone else have a similar form of HH that is mainly limited to the torso (back and chest), and how do you deal with it?
