the last couple of years I've noticed I'm a lot less heat tolerant and overheat really easily when in the sun. I used to love the heat now I can find it unbearable at times. This isn't like hot flushes that come out of no where, but specifically when you are already in a hot environment. It feels like I'm easy hotter than I should be for the actual temperature it is and no one else around me seems to be struggling when I ask them. Does this sound like peri? or is it likely something else? I am only just reading up on it but I feel I have a lot of the symptoms.

I've been sober about 1.5 years and I miss my old life so much (the good times, ofc it wasn't all good hence why I quit). I really miss the escapism and the euphoria of drinking - temporary breaks of just operating on a different level which just felt good. as times goes on I feel like it gets harder. My life is quite boring now, I don't have that much fun, I sadly realised that all the things I enjoyed were enjoyable because I loved drinking. Even socialising. So now I don't have as much motivation to do things cause it's like everything is 'fine', very little excitement about things. it's not like I'm crippled with anxiety or depression, I'm not, I just feel 'fine' all the time and it's like I'm stuck on this flat level that is ok, but I just crave feeling the fun and excitement that I used to feel drinking. I know that going back to drinking will end in disaster so I'm not going back to it, but I need to find something else, some other way to get out of this grey scale I'm stuck in. Can anyone else relate?
