I'v Had major depression for a long time 10+ years. I've had Aquagenic pruritus for 5 plus years. thats when your skin gets wet it feels like bindies stinging you on your arms legs and chest. Up until recently I've only really had t after showers. But now its happening at work. 8 Hours of intense pain mixed with my depression is killing me. I cant handle it anymore. Should I just leave my job and look for some office job where I wont sweat? I'm not sure what center link will say about it and I'm stressing out.
