#heatsensitive #overheating

My body kinda sucks at a few things. Temperature regulation is one of them.

I've never liked heat or sun, but I've become way more prone to overheating, and sometimes it seems like it's at the drop of a hat. Direct sun utterly saps my energy and I want nothing more than to get out of it. Moderately sunny days are too bright for my eyes, leading to constant squinting. Heat starts to short circuit my brain within minutes and I can't think straight. Virtually all creativity and ability to cope is gone and my only focus is on getting out of that situation. It's not just, oh I'm uncomfortable and annoyed. It's like a brain fog. It's so frustrating and not something I can control.
