Having a bit of a heatwave at the moment in the UK. I heard that it's officially the hottest day in July we've ever had, and while I'm not sure if it's true, I can believe it.

My usual safe haven of my bedroom is more like a hotbox, stifling me. And being out in the sun too long makes me tired easily and the heat itself saps my appetite (I can see why the Spanish have siestas). But it's so uncomfortable.

One positive I can take from it is that it's very grounding and reassuring that I am actually here. Usually I kind of have to snap back when fleeting thoughts of derealisation pop up.

Just needed to vent. Aaaaand breathe. :-)

I hear you, we just had the hottest and driest month of June, it hasn't rained here since June 3 and we usually get rain most of June. It's been in the 90's for the past week and will be in the 90's for the next week. (that is degrees, lol)

I hate the heat, it makes me hurt worse then I already do. Anything over 65-70 F is too hot for me. Luckily I have an air conditioner and a fan in my bedroom or I would be really miserable.

I hope you can find a way to stay cool.

Heat definitely gets to me too. I am unable to sweat, so I have had heat stroke a few times.

Cold gets me worse though. It causes me to hurt in my bones, and I just can't get warm.

At least with heat, I can crunch on ice chips, and stay inside.

I can relate! I live a half hour south of Seattle and it's normal to have a few days in the upper 90's...in August or September. NOT June. But we're in our second week of it with no relief in sight. They say we're in for a dry and hot summer.

Night,

For the most part, I can ignore it because there's not much I can do about it. My change in attitude just kind of happened.

Been in the high eighties and nineties in SoCal. Brutal. Especially for my dogs. Everyone tells me we shouldn't be complaining because it could be a lot worse- but when you're living in a house with a broken AC it's painful!

Sophie,

I saw a video of a doggie enjoying watermelon earlier. For some reason, I had never even considered giving mine watermelon. The video has been shared on my FB. :D
