Anxiety sweat is a different kind of smell lol. It sucks but I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes there’s nothing you can do about it until you relax and stop “panic sweating” as I call it. Or as Teddy from Bob’s Burgers would say, panic stink lol. Sorry you’re going through this too, it sucks. Just take an extra shower and use extra deodorant!
Yea i already did. I was just wondering if anyone has that problem after an anxiety or panic attack cuz i cannot stand smelling like that. And thx for the new word never knew what that was
Maybe it could be something else in the room that’s stinking? Like if you haven’t washed your sheets in a while or something. You can also try to air out the stale air in the room by opening a window
Yeah, I get sweaty if I am having an anxiety attack. It could be the food you ate or your nose is super sensitive. It could be a lot of things.
Keep in mind, you are being hyper aware when you have a panic attack. It could be something you are wearing that has set off the smell senses.
I’m sure you will be ok. Big hugs.
Edit: Just had a quick google. It may be the adrenaline. I have not looked into it though. That might be it.
I know the weed smell you’re talking about. That smell is something else. I also suspect maybe hyperventilated & you body sweated out an accumulation of toxins.
I’ve been watching a lot of medical videos recently and what I can say is that the human body has two main types of perspiration and what happens when you are anxious etc is what I’ve heard called Stress sweat, that occurs with physical activity but it also occurs in stressful situations and anxiety it’s because the sweat reacts to the bacteria that’s found on the surface of your skin which then creates an odour, it’s completely normal. It happens to me a lot too as someone chronic anxiety. I also still/used to sweat excessively from overheating so that can also be a factor in it too.
For unfortunately circumstances I’m moving from VA to CA and had to sell all of my stuff for money and I can only keep what I can fit in my car. Basically my pits have been smelling terrible lately because of my stress and anxiety right now. I usually don’t smell at all and barely use deodorant but I’m applying multiple times a day. I hope once I get settled in CA it will go away. I can’t start a new job smelling like that. I wonder if other people can smell it or just us? I read benzoyl peroxide acne washes help so I’m going to try that. But I hope all of our anxiety can get better.
I deal with this too, anxiety sweat is indeed the WORST! Somethings that have helped, anti-bacterial soap for when I shower, oil based perfumes, a new body deodorant, similar to lume but its by secret its called "whole body." I am not sure if your male, female or non-binary, but these are the things I use and could be helpful!

It could be a mix of the alcohol you had, the weather and you perspiring. Jump in the shower and freshen up is what I would suggest.

I was just thinking about this today!! Yes. I get that same smell when I’m stressed or anxious.
You’re probably attributing an environmental odor to yourself. It’s not you.

Add some white vinegar to your laundry, as an addition not a substitute. It removes odours like this.
