I'M SO SCARED OF GETTING A HEAT STROKE! I FEEL SO SICK WHEN IT'S HOT! FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS I'VE BEEN DIZZY AND NAUSEOUS, I'VE HAD VISION PROBLEMS LIKE BLURRY VISION, I'VE HAD “BRAIN FOG”, I CAN’T THINK CLEARLY, I’M EXTREMELY TIRED, I DON’T HAVE ANY ENERGY, I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO FAINT ALL THE TIME, AND I FEEL LIKE MY TEMPERATURE IS VERY HIGH… AM I GOING TO DIE? I GOOGLED "HEAT STROKE" AND REALISED I HAVE ALMOST ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF A HEAT STROKE... AM I GOING TO DIE? I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE! I TRY TO DRINK AND TAKE COLD SHOWERS, BUT IT DOESN'T HELP!

    hi Anne,

    What your going through right now sounds awful but i have also experinced this feeling. I continously thought i was going to die of heat stroke or heart attack or something anytime i felt slightly uncomfortable. The truth is and you might not believe me but you are okay. All the symptoms you describe i can relate to and are all linked to anxiety. It's important to remember that you are not alone in how you feel and that despite how you feel right now in this moment tomorrow is always another day and that you will be okay and that things will get better. Focus on some breathing techniques or if not go somewhere you feel comfortable maybe even try some excercise. i hope you can find some peace and get through this i really do. You will be okay!!
