I also feel very alone and lonely,how do I overcome this when I have problems forming relationships due to Complex PTSD....I am starting therapy for this tomorrow and I feel apprehensive but hopeful it might help.
I want it to cool down but they say the whole of July is going to continue to be a heatwave.

I am from the UK too, and can certainly relate to this one
hot weather isn't good for my mental health at all.. makes all my psymptoms worse- and that's a real issue lately, obviously because their's not been much (any?) rain. my mood has stayed a constant 3/4 out of 10 on my chart.
I'm also agoraphobic, so it means I don't get to get out to enjoy the sun much (and when I do, it's only like for essential trips) so I'm stuck in my room with the sun streaming through the windows
I suppose it's not all bad... I do have my fan, and actually that helps cool the room down a bit
I can't open the windows though- for risk of going in to anathalaptic shock
