Winter is coming…

Winter in Australia is pretty mild compared to other countries, but for me Winter is a problem because I suffer from hyperhidrosis. This means I sweat a lot all the time, and when the weather is cold I’m wet and cold. Doesn’t matter what I’m wearing. I just sweat all the time.

I wouldn’t have issue with Winter except for this condition.

I walk to the library and when I get there the back of my head is dripping wet.

I recently went out taking photos at night time, and when I got home all my clothes were wet including my jacket.

Everything had to go into the washing machine.

I have to wear two kinds of deodorant. One on the skin (under arms), and another on the clothes (under arms). If I don’t do this I smell like a polecat. It’s due to the fact I’m always wet.

The only time I don’t sweat is when I’m asleep.

Lunatic Asylum of South Australia

Glenside Hospital, as it was known from 1967, previously the Public Colonial Lunatic Asylum of South Australia, Parkside Lunatic Asylum and Parkside Mental Hospital, was a complex of buildings used as a psychiatric hospital in Glenside, South Australia. Since the 1970s the original site has been subdivided and parcels of land sold off, largely for housing. The large administration building fronting the side was refurbished to house the Adelaide Studios of the South Australian Film Corporation in 2011, and the old P&O Ward now houses Adelaide Central School of Art. The site is sometimes referred to as “the old Glenside Hospital”, the “Glenside Hospital historical precinct” or “Glenside Campus”. A new building houses Glenside Health Services at the southern end of the site, along with new wards and facilities.
