Let me start this article by stating the obvious: I’ve always run hot. And by hot, I mean I can often be seriously sweaty on a frosty winter's day, or dripping with sweat while working in our air-conditioned office. My friends will attest that I regularly greet them with a cuddle and a, "so sorry I am so sweaty" after a short ten-minute walk from the tube, and I couldn't tell you the last time I presented in anything other than a dark-coloured dress.
For years, I wondered if the excessive sweating was down to my anxious disposition (sweating is well-documented as a symptom of anxiety). I spent years visiting my GP, too, asking for extra-strength deodorant or other solutions to my issue.
