Today, I've tried literally every possible brand of antiperspirant deodorant available to me in my area. I went to the bathroom to discover I'd pitted out my favorite shirt. It's mild weather, I have done nothing active, and I'm not stressed. My body just loves to make me sweat. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was on my way to a relatively important interview when I realized that I'd forgotten to put on antiperspirant. Once seated, I was so nervous that I started sweating profusely under my light blue shirt, and by the end of the whole ordeal I had huge sweat stains under my armpits, down to my elbows. FML
Today, I had to use antiperspirant deodorant under my breasts. FML

Today, it's so insanely hot that no matter how often I shower or use deodorant the smell of my armpits makes me feel physically sick. FML
Today, my stress sweat overpowered my prescription strength deodorant 45 minutes into an 8-hour shift. I don't know who is more miserable, me or my coworkers. FML
Today, I realised I sweat so much that I won't be able to go without sticking super pads with wings to my shirt underarms everyday. It makes supermarket trips interesting. Especially as a man. FML
Today, I sprayed hair spray under my arms instead of anti-perspirant. I didn't realize it until I went to put my shirt on and couldn't raise my arms. FML
Today, I was apparently tired enough to spray silly string under my armpits rather than deodorant. FML
Today, I had an allergic reaction to my deodorant. My armpits wouldn't stop itching, and by the time my shift was over, they were raw and bloody. FML
Today, my natural body odor has gotten so bad that despite wearing 20 swipes of men’s deodorant under each armpit and taking three showers a day with an entire bottle of body wash, I still smell like a cross between onions and hot garbage. I’m a woman. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Have a doctor check you for hyperhydrosis. Usually when nothing helps stop the sweat, it's a sign of a medical situation.

That can be a sign of something more. Maybe you should go to the doctor to get it checked out.

A good friend of mine has this condition. After seeing the doctor she feels better and does not feel self conscious anymore!

I have hyperhydrosis, I haven't been to the doctor, but I'm like 99% sure it's it. I use something called Driclor. It has stopped the sweating. If you want to save money by not going to the doctor, try Driclor first.

I have hyperhydrosis too! Nothing to be embarrassed about OP, it's much more common than you'd think :) I'd also recommend Driclor, it's an absolute godsend. Put it on overnight then wash it off in the morning. You will see immediate results :) it's not very expensive either! It costs me £6 a go and it lasts me a month. Or you could always ask your doctor for botox injections in your armpits.

I wouldnt reccommend the botox injections, botox often has adverse side effects in the long run. But yea the aforementioned comments sound exactly like what you have, hope you get it sorted out.

Don't sweat it.

Also, unless the pitting is INSANE, try soaking the shirt in a 50/50 mix of warm water and white vinegar overnight, then washing in a pre-soak cycle with Oxiclean and warm water. If your machine doesn't have a soaking option, repeat the overnight soak with warm water and a healthy scoop of Oxiclean, rinse the shirt out well, then wash it in a regular warm water cycle with more Oxiclean. I've gotten some of the worst stains out that way, so unless you have some SERIOUS pitting, it should help.

A nurse told me I was a 'glower' a couple of months ago. I was sweating profusely after climbing the world's highest, steepest, ricketiest, staircase.

You might have to go on medication for it. My cousin unfortunately inherited the gene for profuse sweating and has to take pills to take it down to a normal rate.

Get Botox shots in your pit glands.

One of my buddies gets Botox in his armpits to stop the excessive sweating.
