My automatic nervous system SUCKS - so I become super heat intolerant FAST.
How fast, one may ask? Well, anything after 22Celcius becomes very painful.
It starts with my skin beginning to ache all over. I would descibe it as if someone would have done thousand tiny papercuts all around me and then rubbed a mountain of salt on it. But that one is not even the worst one... It is the nausea. The headaches that wont go away. The exhaustion from not sleeping well due to all of it... On top of it all I smell like damp as I need to wear wet clothes and a rag on my head to be able to move, which causes itching of my scalp, and the constant blow from a fan also dries my eyes and makes me more likely to have ear issues.
In short: Summer is hell, you won't win this fight if you tell me it isn't. Also I'll assume that anyone who tells me that is probably abled enough not to suffer from constant heat exhaustion and isn't in danger of heat stroke when the temps rise, or are VERY privileged to have an Air Conditioning.
(yes, there have been many assholes like that telling me to buy and AC and quit whining when complaining about shit in life has been proven to actually improve mental health and I can't get and AC as someone who rents and is BROKE)
So, where was I going?
Oh yes. I can finally sleep.
This building took almost 5 days to cool down after the heat broke due to being built to hold onto heat instead of letting the damn hell go, and I've been playing "catch up". I'll be honest though. I've been just struggling.
And I know my fellow IH people may be experiencing the same thing. And to those I say - keep cooling yourself off as well as you can because heat exhaustion alone is not a joke, and heatstroke can be really serious thing, even deadly. Enjoy the cooler days if you can, and remember: Summer always ends. It gets better. We can sleep eventually.
Trying my hardest to cope with a rare neurological sleep disorder some people don't even believe exists and yet manages to ruin my life.
