Hey guys,
I used to have severe panic and anxiety for a while, but now I only get it in certain situations. I am starting to discover that heat plays a big role in my anxiety, as heat makes me feel woozy,sleepy and tired and that starts to concern me and in turn i get anxious.
However its not as simple as that, I spent a week in Florida at 115F and I was fine. However when I get anxious on a bus or train for example I get severe hot flashes.its not that I am just "hot", its more of a burning hot sensation all over my body..and its sort of dry heat, because my body isnt sweating,but I am still REALLY hot.
This has been my main issue for a while now and I've gotten rid of many other issues, but cant seem to rid myself of this one.
I've been trying to associate feeling hot with feeling good, but its still hard to do. I can get really anxious, but as soon as AC is turned on I am back to normal.
I was just wondering if any of you guys have experienced this, or are going through this and what are some things you do to cope. To deal with your body feeling hot? what are some ways to rewire my brain into not being afraid of heat? what are some dangers with having such body heat(although I once checked my body temperature during this and it was fine, so im pretty sure its a sensation but a very strong one)?
any help or advice or input is appreciated
