Just a little PSA for all our mental health (and chronic pain*) spoonies out there! A lot of doctors neglect to mention this little side effect, which means a lot of us are suffering extra from the heat without knowing why.
*Many psych meds are used to treat chronic pain as well, if you didn’t know!
I only found this out the other day.
Also, remember heat IS sensory input, so if you’re exhausted and don’t know why, imagine the heat being a constant loud noise, or bright light, or constantly rubbing up against people in a crowd. Shit wears you out fast.
Extreme heat can be dangerous for people taking psychiatric medication
