Hi, I am the author of http://panicattackresearch.blogspot.com

Do not worry, I am not spamming my site - my site don't sell products or anything. My site is solely dedicated to panic-attacks or people whom have anxiety. I give tips on how to sleep even if you have anxiety.

Please do visit and post any questions there or here so that I can help you further.

I have been a sufferer for 12-years and am doing well. My blog is dedicated to help. I will be updating my blog every 5-7 days on new ways to cope anxiety. I have just made few good entries on coping - I hope it will help you.

I started out taking prozac 20mg daily.. then it dropped to 10mg and now I am just taking 5mg and still doing very well. I might be considering taking medication off my life.

And most importantly, I am here to help you because I know how it feels to have anxiety or panic attacks.

There are free tips and free items on relaxation and such for you to download!

And I recommend you hold a hankerchief or a tissue to wipe the sweat away.  If you see any public toilet nearby, wash your hands with soap if you feel your palms have sweated alot.  Don't worry about it.

The best way is to tackle anxiety away first.

All the best,

Seng

Get his wet. If he really wants to be holding your hand he wont care if its sweaty.

Answer 3

wipe it off or carry sanitizer. I sometimes carry some antibacterial wipes to clean my hands.
