This thermal shirt tried to end me (again); a cold day survival log (/ー ̄;)

Today I almost passed out… because of a thermal shirt.  

Yes. Just a single thermal top. (´;ω;`)

Actually, this isn’t the first time.  

Whenever I wear thermals, I *have* to make sure I’m not in a closed space or walking too fast...  

Because if I do — boom. Instant dizziness.  

Right now my head is exploding btw (T▽T)

So… what happened today?

The train that usually comes at 42 was suddenly showing up at 38.  

I hadn’t even left the house yet and I needed at least 7-8 minutes to walk there…  

Which meant I had to get there in 4 minutes or miss it entirely (;´д`)ゞ

Did I make it?  

Yes... I did.  

But when I arrived, my heart was beating super SLOW, yet I could feel every beat like it was echoing in my chest.  

My head started pounding, my legs gave out a little — like they were moving in slow motion.  

I noticed the signs and sat down right away.  

Looked at my reflection in my phone and guess what?  

I WAS SWEATING.  

At -3°C. (>д<)

I had to take off my scarf, gloves, everything but my soul.  

And why?  

Because I had ONE thermal top and a sad little jacket. That’s it.  

But somehow… I felt like I was in a sauna o(`^´*)


It’s not even the first time this happens either.  

Even at -10°C, if I wear just one thermal top, I feel like it’s 25° inside my body.  

And yes, that *sounds* like a blessing — but the side effect is getting dizzy af (╥﹏╥)


Could this all be avoided if I just stopped wearing thermal shirts?  

Yes.  

BUT… I have no actual winter clothes.  

Like 90% of my closet is summer stuff.  

I only own 6 thermal tops that I rotate through the week and wash every Sunday when I don’t leave the house hahaha (^▽^;)


So yeah.  

Is anyone else out there getting lightheaded from thermal clothing?
