Today was a total disaster. From the very first second I walked into work my face went red, I didn't even see or speak to anyone to trigger it of. Am dreading tomorrow, The Meeting, even though only two people will be present I am dreading it. Maybe a sick day is on the cards and a trip round London. God, I really hate myself.

Don't beat yourself up over it.
It's probably not a great idea to miss a meeting, and at least there will only be two other people, rather than a whole load. Just take it easy and remember that you wont be in the meeting for too long, it'll all be over before you know it.

I've always found that if I "go for it" despite how bad it might feel, you feel a lot better afterwards because you know you did it and got through it. You wont be able to stop the blushing, but going in there and getting it over and done with is a small victory.

This damn blushing, heh. I am new and yet I see so many people here have that problem. I don't really blush, because I don't get red, or at least I don't think so and I have never worried about that... but I get these stupid heat waves on my face, you know, I feel so hot all of a sudden, and I start to sweat! That's how my hyperhidrosis becomes real HELL. If I am anxious (which I always am) I start to worry I will feel hot, and... I get hot. And I drip sweat. And I get even more anxious. And that basically ruined my life.
But I am going to find a solution, because I can't go on this way. I can't have a normal life at all, and not even a decent one this way, I guess.

im in the same crap boat us u guys

some days are ok for me at work,but most of the time u could be happy and etc,and suddenly smth triggers the mind and i would go all fecking red,it would be ok if it was a heat wave,but for me when it starts it stays for few hours,and aswell i had to skip few days of work because when pressure builds up and u cant handle it anymore every minute at work turns into hell.You might try natural herb shops,because they sell loads of stuff from stress which might ease you a bit,and i found that few B vitamins help a bit with blushing aswell.

My cure is doesnt matter how **** or bad the day was,i would feel good afterward and laugh from my self how silly i am

because shyness or SA doesnt stop me from doing things,it only makes it harder to do.

My day today = Well I never went into work. Left my house this morning and got to the bus stop and then I just felt like not going in. I was so worried about the day that I just decided against going to work. So I went home and thought I would be able to stay there a few hours before anyone noticed I was home (everyone else was out). Well anyways I felt so pissed off about not going in so I hurt my arm on purpose, I hit it several time with a hair straightener. It is the arm what I called my bad arm as I broke it twice before so I thought if anything I would end the day with a broken wrist. I got distracted as my Dad came home, so I made up some excuse about forgetting something important that I needed for work. So I left the house and decided to go to the shopping centre so I could continue with my broken wrist quest. Anyways to cut a long story short, once I thought my arm was broken I went to the hospital, had an x-ray ect, only to be told it was not broken. I was sooooo annoyed, I sat in the toilets for over an hour crying.

I then realised I had a doctors appointment today, so I thought that if I speak to the doctor then he can sort out my problems there and then. I felt happier to think this was the case so then I just travelled around London for the rest of the day until my appointment. Well anyways, I just got home from my appointment and I am thinking about not going into work tomorrow, the Doctor did not say anything useful and said I must see the doctor who I normally see next week as she understands and knows my case. I was crying in the doctors room and just felt I was getting no where. I understand he doesn;t know me or my case but I just felt so annoyed about not getting anywhere today. My doctors appointment is not until next tuesday so I have no idea what I am to do from now until then, I can;t face going into work.

Sorry to hear that Ihateit

Unfortunately I can't help you, because I have the same problems, more or less (if I am not mistaking you for someone else), so I am still trying to find a solution. But please, don't try to hurt yourself. If I ever find a solution, and I swear to god one day I will, I will give it to everyone for free.

^ thanks man! ditto

Ihateit · 06-11-2009, 08:09 PM

Same here, the day I find a solution I will shout it from the rooftops.

Anyways, my days have not got any better. I have been having these horrible thoughts in my mind that I know are wrong but I just can't help thinking them. Everytime I feel that people are staring at me and laughing, I cannot take it, I just want to do something so that it can all stop.
