Having a literal melt down

ALM

Hello

I'm sure everyone is going through this. 

Today I got so anxious about the heatwave that I didn't know what to do with myself. 

Spent so much time trying to logically figure out how to escape the heat that I got really upset and even hotter. 

I just can't function in this heat. It's so disregulating. 

Previously I've tried a number of different fans, a very expensive loud air conditioning unit, staying in a hotel with ac (very expensive). I don't think it's possible to escape the heat unfortunately.

How do you manage? Do you have any tips? 

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

    I would recommend using one of the fans and have a tray of cold water (ideally with ice in it) and position it so that the air blown by the fan passes over the tray. You may need to boost it with a box or something similar to get to the right height.

    This then blows cooled, moist air that is great for keeping cool. You obviously need to be close to the fan (ie not in another room) for this to work,
