As a life long GAD sufferer, I can offer some advice on this one mate. I’m 51 and live on the Tropic of Capricorn in Queensland Australia. You’d be astonished just how much heat the human body can handle safely. I would have to set my FIR sauna to 51c and it would be 10 minutes before I’d really begin to sweat. If you’re in England, and the temperature hasn’t hit 37c yet, then your skin temp hasn’t even reached your internal body temperature yet. You have miles of wiggle room. My advice would be exposure therapy, as with all fears and phobias. Find a sauna facility and go in there for a minute or so and gradually build on that. Some of the most out of shape, high blood pressure having, diabetes having, (you get my point) people sit in saunas and not even think about anything other than relaxing. It’s all about inner dialogue and perception of danger. A strong young fella like you could probably shovel concrete all day and be ok if you kept hydrated. People all over the world do that every day.

Knowing you are physically safe helps lots, I was researching the point at which heatstroke occurs and knowing the factors that come into that and having faith in your body to do its job is also really helpful, your body is stronger than most ppl think.

The heat can be brutal for anxiety. The only way I got better is to slowly spend more and more time in the heat. I believe you can do it too. Just be easy on yourself and let the anxiety happen if it does. Fighting it always made it worse for me. Drink lots of water and use those cooling handkerchiefs and dip them in water. Drape it on the neck and it feels great. You can do it!

Really glad you posted that. Thank you for your channel.

I suffer severe anxiety and panic disorder with the heat being a trigger to a panic attack.

My anxiety and panic attacks are WAY better than they were last year but I'm in Arizona and it's summer time so the heat is unlike anything you've ever felt before. Yesterday we took the kids to a fun center and when we left it was blistering hot about 115 degrees!!! I offered to drive us in our little car with not great AC. I was feeling anxious and I was almost out of water. I tried my best to remain calm as I drove us across the street to get ice cream and more water. We went inside to cool off and enjoy our cool treat. I decided to brave it and drive us home which was only 2 miles but driving has already been difficult for me for the past two years since I started having panic attacks on the road and found out I have bvd and needed to get glasses. Anyway! I made it home no problem. I just try and keep my trips short, sweet and to the point and I try and bring lots of water and electrolytes and a snack, especially since your car can break down in this heat. I think I'm going to invest in a small neck fan too. I hope you feel better soon!

This channel is fantastic! Provides real life scenarios that ordinary people experience every day. This is a daily struggle for me during the summer months

I love that when you asked where his ball was. His head nod was like "Ball? Oh yes, It's over here.

im scared of never getting better im seeing you working on it for years even getting on planes but still struggling with it i fear it will never go away

I don't have heat anxiety I have some other form of anxiety mixed with other conditions so I completely understand how hard it is to explain to people who dont have it and how shameful it makes us feel....I want you to know that your videos help alot and that there are times when im not well when I'm outside and that listening to some of your videos both here and Facebook have been a god send at times ..your doing a good thing even when you might not know it. Small realistic steps to start your going have some loses sometimes ..in an ideal world medication or support might get us out side when where bad but as that doesn't really exist in the real world we have to take care of our selves and only you know how you are on any given day. Your valued and safe.

I feel for you. I went out in the car on Monday. It was 38C in the garden centre. I could feel my heart pounding. Got stuck in traffic on the way home and had a mini panic attack in the car. I didnt know this was something other people have too.

Been following you for a while now and this longer video added more perspective to your day to day stuff. Really resonate with all you go through. I had a similar thing with a social event our road does every year. It's only like a meet all the neighbours thing with some food etc on our village green. But for 3 weeks before it was preying on my mind. Then suddenly the day is here and it's a hot day. I pushed myself to go. It was very very difficult. Too much to say here. Suffice to say I did survive. Please keep your content coming. You're a lovely guy❤🫂💜

Try freezing a water bottle next time to just bring as an "ice pack" to help you focus or ground you.

You with your dog was so precious such a lovely support doggo. also just stay as cool as possible with breaks for water on those extra hot days. Thanks for sharing this ❤

have you ever tried taking magnesium? i use magnesium chloride oil on my skin or i make magnesium chloride foot baths and it has helped calm me down overall a bit i am less tense. Also alot of people are low in magnesium and stress eats up your magnesium like crazy so i think magnesium is like must for people with anxiety. Also don't say things to your self i have a anxiety disorder therefore i might panic because it's hot you are worrying before anything has even happend setting of your nervous system already. It's not easy but the only way out of this is anxiety sh!t is acknowledge it when you feel anxious and then keep doing whatever you where doing as best as you can with the anxiety present without doing anything about it. That's how we break the cycle if we keep doing things about it to make it go away we confirm to our brain that the anxiety is good and that there is danger reinforcing the cycle. But if we just let it happen without doing anything about it( i know it is very hard) that tells our brain ow it's probaply false alarm because your not fighting or running away. Next time i might give you a bit less anxiety

I had probably my 3rd worst panic attack ever while in the shower 45 minutes before I had to cook in a kitchen for 7 hours on a 90 degree day...

Did your doctors rule out an arrhythmia or did you have a major incident that may have caused a bit of PTSD? For me I was severely dehydrated and hospitalized but traumatized me and any palpitation triggered anxiety and panic attacks, I was convinced I was dying but when I kept busy it helped me ignore it and I repeat these words . “It’s life disrupting not life threatening, stop it” it does help 😅

God be with you.❤

It's been around 40°C here in Serbia these days, and I do go out to walk my dog or go to the store if I really need to and it's ok-ish.. BUT just the thought of going somewhere with public transport gives me so much anxiety 🥺

We are having a heat wave, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I literally panic if I don’t have my safety things with me, like water, backpack, a hat or sunscreen or snacks, I definitely know the feeling.

I once went for a hard bike ride on a very hot day. My heart rate went up to 165 (normal if i was on a steep hill, but this was flat) and wouldn't come down even after stopping in shade and pouring water over myself. And i had to ride home! I think that gave me heat anxiety.

Strangely enough Sunny Weather (not just heat alone) seems to have more of a positive affect on my anxiety. Could be due to the crap climate in Ireland and that when we do get nice weather on the odd occasion its just such a change from those drab, daily slate grey skies 🤷🏻

Thank you so much for your videos 🫶🏻please never stop

Ceaser's hopping made me Laugh out loud! He is so Cute and such a boy! (you can tell him I said that) I wanted to share with you something I discovered a few years. I live in the northeastern Untied States, its quite humid here. I imagine it is very humid in the UK as well since its known for its rain. Back around 2015 my family and I took a road trip to Arizona. It was always my dream to see the desert, but I was concerned about the heat and it triggering my anxiety. However it didn't at all! We arrived at our friend's house quite late at night and it was still over 100F! That's like 38C I believe. I had no trouble with my anxiety while I was there, I actually felt great with the sun giving me that sweet, sweet Vitamin D! I've been back to Arizona a few times since then and I never have a problem. In 2016, we spent the summer driving around the southern states where it is extremely humid. I had many, many panic attacks that vacation and couldn't go outside for more than a few min at time. And of course here at home the heat triggers me as well. My theory is that it is the difference between the dry heat and the humidity. When its humid we can't sweat properly and therefore can't cool off properly. Heart rates go up, palpitations happen, difficulty breathing is a problem, these are all panic attack symptoms of course. Even though I have heat anxiety, I prefer the heat over the cold. Summer will always be my favorite season even though I spend most of it inside my air conditioned house. I dream of one day moving to the desert, where I can have the heat and actually enjoy it properly without the threat of panic attacks

i used to be able to stand the heat no problem, probably better than anyone i know, but since last year (i had a huge panic attack when in another city far from home and the heat was strong) i have been so afraid of it. i have to remind myself that my body is completely capable of standing the heat, as it always has.

I live in Texas and it is hot 8 months of the year so i am use to the heat and it really doesn't bother my anxiety at all.

I had to drive some place for work thats 1 hour away via highway and to lessen some of the stress I drove there at 5 am so there wouldn't be much traffic. I then was there 4 hours early and passed the time at a nearby lake but it was better this way. I know it's also a little bit of avoidance but at least I could go there this way. After two years into my anxiety struggle I recently came to this approach: I will try to go to the events I really want to go to but I will try to do it very comfortably for me.

Do you get palpations riding ur bike? I get them barely even moving and feeling anxious. Never used to but now i do pretty much anytime i ride..

Have you heard of binocular vision dysfunction? BVD ?

I'm a big fan, but can I ask that maybe you could look directly into the lens. It would promote a better connection with the viewer. Luv your stuff. Helping me immensely 😊

Do you live alone in your apartment?

What job do you do cuz I work at a warehouse?

I have some questions i hope you will answer im going to go to the doctor as well because because i don’t know what is wrong with me and i’ve felt like this for a while ever since i started smoking weed. when you get panic attacks do you feel like things get loud ?? when you’re having a panic attack do you have thought disorder ?? when you first started noticing your panic disorder did you think you had schizophrenia ??

I dont mean to like increase worry or health anxiety. But have you been tested for POTS because it is commonly mistaken for panic attacks and anxiety ? They initially saidni anxiety and panic disorder. But then a doctor suspected POTS now im being tested through a cardiologist POTS expert. I do admit i definitely develoed anxiety and panic through the symptoms i was getting. But yeah its definitely worth considering if you havent already ?

Maybe you should get yourself a Camelbak, you can put some ice cubes in it with some refreshing water to have at the ready. 👍
