Sweating

I don’t know how to get over this ocd/ anxiety sweating. Any time I get in the car I feel hot and sweaty and check myself and sometimes a little wet or sticky, so I’ve got to wipe myself down. And other times I tell my mom or someone that I think I’m sweaty and ask them to feel me and they say I’m not sweaty. Even though I do feel it. How do I get the thought out of my head that I am even though people say I’m not and feel like I’m not, even though sometimes I do feel sweaty, but I’m there feel me and say I’m not sweaty.

I also have hyper-awareness in relation to my body and to a lesser degree worry about sweat. I'm obsessed about things that give off an odor so am mostly concerned about my armpits in regards to my fears about sweat.

As for your feelings about being sweaty when you're really not, its the hyper-awareness giving off false positives. An example is when you have work done by a dentist and your brain is telling you the tooth doesnt feel right but after a few days you start not noticing it at all.

I continually check myself because of the tricks my mind plays on me and 95% of the time they turn out inaccurate. I keep checking because of that extra 5% where it might be true but I'm trying to teach myself that it's not worth the effort to worry about such small probabilities.

Hope this helps a little!
