Re: Heat wave causing anxiety
I've been doing relatively ok with the heat, mainly by lying on the bed (in my undies) in front of two fans (my request for a third was denied...)
This was until about 2am this morning when Mr Batty's hand strayed onto my thigh. He was asleep (I think), but his hand was very heavy and very hot, and I may have flung it off using two choice words (second one was 'off')
Alice, stop fretting. Get yourself a couple of decent fans for your bedroom. I also use those cool gel sheets and I stick a Kool Strip on my head. Breathe nice and deeply because anxiety speeds up the heart which makes you even hotter, so breathe....
Also, I watch Christmas movies and winter documentaries when it's hot. I find that snow and polar bears tricks the brain (ish). Club Tropicana? Nah. Leave those summery lyrics and suntanned bodies for when it's pelting down with rain tomorrow afternoon. Your neighbours (and family) might think you've gone insane when they hear the intro to Home Alone but consider this a top tip from one who has long since been certified, oops, I mean from one who has done the research on reverse psychology.
