i'm so glad summer is ending. i spent most of it inside due to a deep depression and social anxiety issue, but also because of the heat. i live in the mid-atlantic region of the US, where the humidity is real and the sun is unforgiving. I was wondering if any of you guys have sensitivity to heat and the sunlight, excessive sweating and thirst that is stronger in the summer. I know a lot of people not on medications can have these problems, but i think my meds make it a lot worse. as well, all of these sun and heat related issues cause so much agitation i just cannot bear to be outside some days!! I check the weather in the morning, and if it looks and feels bad, retreat to the A/C of my home. I get the thirst throughout the year due to lithium.
