Joining DS

 
So I just joined this website and I can already tell that it is going to help and hopefully make a lot of difference. 
I suffer from hyperhidrosis. If you don't know what that is, it is when you excessively sweat and it takes over your life. I knew that there was something unnatural about how much I sweat, but it wasn't until about six weeks ago that I found out my disorder. I went to the doctor and he didn't say anything about what I had, but he gave me a prescription for hyperhidrosis. That was pretty shocking, really.
I also have a sort of mild OCD. I have talked to my mum about it, and she says that she had the same thing when she was my age - that it isn't OCD, it is just an age thing. But I'm not so sure: I'll give you an example. About three minutes ago while I was writing this, I touched my left eyebrow with my finger and the hair swept over the other way (the unnatural way). Right after I had done that, my other hand instantly just did exactly the same to the other eyebrow. I really don't know if this is a great example, but generally in daily life if there is a book, for example, on a table and a little corner of it is off the edge of the table, I must put it back and it must be parallel to the table edge. I'm trusting that if you are visiting my page you get what I'm going through, so I won't have to explain too much.
The third thing... I just hate talking about it. A few months ago, I went through a really awful time. I started to think about self-harming and although I never actually got past placing the razor on my skin and dragging it lightly across, I was always feeling like everyone's second choice. Not so much in my family, but certainly around my friends. 
 
So this was just an introduction. I wanted to get this all out, and I hope that you all will help  me :) x

Hi Evie, hope you\'re well just wondering how you\'re getting on?
What medication were you subscribed and has it helped at all?
Just read your post I used to feel the same way you do when I was your age, but it does get easier so don\'t let it get you down!!
