Just need someone who understands

Hey guys,
So I'm well new to this site, I've not actually posted in any forums before but thought it was about time as this HH thing is really starting to bother me.
My names Olivia and I'm 21. I think i've had HH all my life but only started to notice it as being unusual when I was about 16. I only went to get it checked out when I was about 18 and was the diagnosed with it, pretty easily just by looking at me; which is even more depressing!
I have the worst excess sweating on my hands and feet. They drip continuously, especially my feet and I don't remember a time when my hands have been dry. I find it near to impossible to wear sandals or flip flops or anything without socks as my feet just slip all over the place and I can't walk. I am a very keen musician and tennis player and holding my racket was near to impossible and as I play stringed instruments, guitar, bass, cello and piano I literally could never play them without them litreally going wet. It is awful. I also had a tattoo done on my foot and the guy had to almost stop doing it because the sweat was so bad there was a pool beneath my foot. I did a degree in Chemistry and lab work and lecture work or anything was awful. My hands would condensate inside my lab gloves and my grip would go and my lecture notes would be soaked from just taking notes in a theatre, no matter how cold it was in there.
I have a boyfriend of over 2 years and he is amazing with my condition, I know he says he isnt bothered by it, but I cant hold his hand properly and to be blunt, *** is sweaty as all holy hell. I know its a physical thing so its not going to be dry haha but the bed is completely soaked by then end. My lower back and knees are extremely bad and as I get it under my arms too...i mean seriously...how unsexy is that!!
I've never really talked to anyone about this except my bf and I just want to talk to people about it who know what its like.
As everyone knows, the social thing is the worst part, shaking hands, meeting people etc. Its a nightmare. No one seems to get how badly I find this problem. It affects me more than I thought and frequently makes me upset. Driving my car is also a nightmare and I want to enjoy the sun!
I've tried many things and ive got the iono machine and nothing has helped me and theres nothing to help my lower back either.
Will it get even worse later on in my life? What if I have to live in a freezing cold country for the rest of my life just to attempt to have a normal life! I cant enjoy holidays or anything! I want some help or maybe just sympathy. Its an awful condition that all of you seem to understand and I guess I just need that reassurance that its not the worst thing and it can be helped.
Thank you so much for reading this guys,
I appreciate any comments or anything!
