if its hot outside or we get a heatwave,,thats one of my worst times for anx attacks and panic attacks

The heat is one thing that generally does make me more anxious, something about there not being enough breeze about to get the cool air I feel I need. Guess that is done to the fact that my second onset of anxiety came after a long day out in some horrid heat.

I find that I tend to feel more depressed during hot weather. I used to call it the "summer blues".

Weirdly, since taking citalopram I found that being cold can increase my risk of feeling anxious.

Definitely feeling the heat would set me off - luckily in the UK we don't have to worry too much about heat! when i went to Peru that was one of the things which concerned me most as it's a much hotter country. I got used to it though and now back home, the heat doesnt bother me so much (anxiety-wise).

One thing which does cause problems is my heating system at home - the radiators generate such a stifling heat that i really feel so faint.

So, in conclusion, i think many of us suffer the same with the heat. Perhaps it's just because in this country we're really not used to hot weather, then when it hits us -- it really hits us badly.
