Nervous sweating is related to a condition called Hyperhidrosis. Primary Hyperhidrosis is a condition of excessive sweating without known cause or triggers, while Secondary Hyperhidrosis is triggered by certain cues, including anxiety. In general, if the excessive sweating you fear only occurs in situations where others can see you, never when you're alone, that's a strong indication it's a type of Social Phobia.
If you search the Internet, you'll find lots of medications and even surgery offered for this condition. Be aware that the research on such treatments is not very strong. If yours is a Secondary Hyperhidrosis, it's probably smart to try the least intrusive methods of help before even thinking of drugs or surgery. Above all, be an informed consumer, because the Internet is full of questionable self help products. Check whatever you find with your physician and mental health professional before proceeding.

If you mean literally and antiperspirant doesn't help, then maybe it's time to consult with your doctor. If you meant metaphorically, then try to keep in mind in ten years almost nothing going on right now will matter.

Things like anxiety, fitness level, type/amount of clothing, and medical conditions can influence how much you sweat. If you've tried a lot of things and still feel unusually sweaty, it may be useful to see a doctor. If you are simply feeling self conscious about how sweaty you are, things like deodorant and different types, cuts, and colors of shirts may help

Try baby powder or an after shower powder to absorb the sweat. :) I use "Shower to shower". it comes in a nice little bottle and you can squeeze the fine powder onto any sweaty areas. also try using an antiperspirant on hidden areas that remain sweaty.

You could be sweating from being nervous or anxious. If so, find out what is causing that anxiety. Or if you just generally sweat a lot, wear deodorant, and/or perfume/cologne. :)

Asking your doctor may be a good idea if you didn't yet. But anyway sweating is natural when you're practicing sport or in stressfull situations. If you sweat because of stress, you may try deep breathing exercises. Or you can hide it by not wearing certain clothes or colors, for exemple do not wear grey clothes :)

Try not to think about it when you are sweating. Thinking about the sweat may subconsciously make you sweat more! If it is hot outside or wherever you are, it is natural to sweat. It is also natural to sweat if you are feeling nervous or anxious about something, so the first step of keeping a calm mind will probably help a lot. I am not sure if you are indeed stressed or not, but that advice couldn't hurt. Sometimes, in my case, depending on which shirt I decide to wear, can cause me to feel like I am sweating more than usual, particularly in the arm pit region. I'm not sure why this happens, but I try to avoid that shirt unless I know I'm in a really calm and happy mood, and that it will be colder wherever I'm going that day. I also wear deodorant just in case I do find myself sweating a lot (anything could happen). Other than that, I make sure to drink lots of water, keep myself happy, and take breaks whenever I need to! If I am doing something very physical, I make sure to stop and catch a breath and cool down. If I'm doing something mentally demanding, I make sure to stand up and take a breather, to keep my mind clear and focused. Don't sweat the small stuff ;)

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
