Overheated brain

haha! I get migraines they help. lol

That’s an ice idea 

If it feels hot why not put something cool on it? I put ice on my head wrapped in a towel.

I've not heard of an anxiety bracelet, it sounds interesting. Glad you've found something to help. X

Don't run of sweat, it's you natural cooling system, so it means I have to drink often, and I carry a water bottle strapped to belt all the time, taking a sip, or few sips every 5min or so. 

Don't overheat beacuse you start rushing to much, it takes few minutes before your body receives a heat wave friom it, so increase level of exertion steadily and slowly, don't go from zero to your maksimum in a flip. If you're already hot, don't go running around.

Simple things right?

Cooling down is more complicated. For me it's either stop activity for 30min, e.g. go somewhere where I can sit down and rest without being bothered, or go outside if it's less than +10C, at those temperatures if I stop I need only 10min to cooldown. And don't rush back in at your maksimum speed after I cooled down.

I would rather have sweat dripping from the tip of my nose than feint, or worse, it's possible to get a heat stroke that way.

All that with minimal interaction with people, just physicaly active. If I had to interact  on top of that more often than answer a question once every 10min, I can last 1h, and my mind is fried.

I've been taking some time out and also have my anxiety bracelet which helps comfort me x

Working in a nursery can definitely be a bit overwhelming. Hope you've found things that help you through your day.

That's great. What's your best strategy? If you're ok to share it - I could do with something that helps, I usually end up on the floor overwhelmed but it's awkward and embarrassing. X

My preferred short version:

It is what it is.

I developed strategies to cope. You can't change nature.

I'm sorry you experience this. I get this at times as well. I've been working in the Nursery and it's happened to me, I have to sit down at times and 'cool down', wait for everything to settle.

Hope you're ok xx

In a supermarket you can't even wear a hat when you sit on a till next to open door wintertime

so I don't think I could explain it to them, they would rather continue having fun at my expense, after all it's hilarious to see someone sweating so much it's dripping of his nose

it's only hypothetical

That's kind of what i was thinking of! Maybe if you tried it you'd have a superconducting brain...

I guess when you are physically exerting you maybe don't have easy access to a freezer to store the ice helm or whatever.

I wash my face with cold water now and then, but it's a result of physical exertion, e.g. I'm working, lifting heavy things.

I make a joke sometimes that I could use one of those 'cooling helmets' dwarfs designed for trolls in Pratchett's Discworld

Have you tried putting something cold on your head? 

My head overheats a lot, whenever mental and physical activities happen together, about 5min after begining them. Possibly that is the reason why 95% of sweat my body excretes happen on my forehead, Profusly at those moments. Making me unable to wear glasses, they get covered with liquid and vapour in 5sec, and I can't wear lenses either, so I can forget about reading anything during those moments.

To the point - as long as I can sweat I stay below critical overheat threshold. Without replenishing by drinking water I can last like that for 1.5h and then I start seeing black spots, and get feinty, and dizzy.

To cool down I need to stop completely, not even pacing allowed for at least 30min.
