Hot Weather & Anxiety

[Tranquilwaters]

The hot weather is a massive trigger for me - I hate it! Anyone else?

[formidible]

Yes I don't like it either. The sunshine is fine, but not the heat.

[Tranquilwaters in reply to formidible]

Exactly the same!💜

[foxglove in reply to formidible]

I'm the opposite! i.e. - love the heat but not the brightness- we're all different!!!

It is not an acute trigger, but the increasing length of days and arrival of warm weather "takes some getting used to." Historically it has been a rough time of year, and since I know that...it's a rough time of year. It also reminds me of climate change and that is also unsettling and sometimes triggering depending on the headline.

As the song says: "Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid day sun."

[propjock in reply to Jeff1943]

My father used to say that! This is the first I’ve heard it anywhere else.

[Jeff1943 in reply to propjock]

It's from a 1930s song by Noel Coward, a plumby voiced Brit. Google it and I'm sure you'll find it.

The hot weather means I cant cover my hair with a woolly beanie & I can’t put a baggy jumper or coat on to cover my unsightly body so yes .. it causes me a lot of anxiety too!🤨

[Salix211]

YES I feel exactly the same. Spring & Summer are a real struggle for me, always have been...I think I'm in the vast minority 😆

Hot Weather Is My Kind Of Weather But Absolutely Not Winter.

I love Winter, although perpetual Fall would be nice, too. This hot, humid weather is not for me, at all. My fingers swell up like little mini-sizzler sausages and I itch all over. Not a trigger for anything, it just makes me feel grumpy. 😠
