Heatwave Anxiety and the Search for Safety | UK News
Description
This heatwave anxiety is real—and it’s crushing people. Moms are abandoning bedtime stories to cry from the unbearable heat, and psychologists are calling it “anticipatory anxiety,” where past disasters make you dread the next. Some are even considering drastic moves like ending pregnancies or selling homes to escape the heat, falling into “doomism.” But others are turning that despair into action—moving to cooler climates, signing petitions, or organizing community efforts. And experts say small self-care steps—staying hydrated, cooling off, taking care of your body—can make a huge difference in fighting that overwhelming sense of helplessness.
