Everything affects my vampirism. I am not a fan of seasonal weather
extremes on any level. The heat of summer is just as devastating to me
as the cold of winter. Both cause me severe problems. Cold leaves me in
physical pain to the point where it never goes away for months on end. I
feel the cold and pain to the core of my very bones. Even my hair hurts.
Heat on the other hand makes me ill-nauseous. The kind of ill where you
have to slow down so it doesn't overwhelm you. I try to stay out of the
heat as much as possible, but even with that I run a temperature and
feel as if I am burning from the inside out.
I have problems with weather extremes of all sorts. Approaching storms
cause me no end of misery. I get severe migraines that affect my whole
body. I experience severe nausea, run a temperature, get blurred vision,
sound sensitivity, a ringing in the ear, weak arm - shoulder - hand
muscles and much more. After the storm arrives, I am so physically weak
that I MUST find an energy source. I need to replenish my deleted
energies just to keep from feeling weak and regain my balance.
This all causes havoc in regards to my taking energies. Over the years,
I have learned that seasonal changes affect my energy levels and plan my
time & major activities accordingly. Winters I am mostly under nourished
energy wise. There is no way for me to overcome the cold I feel. I
severely cut back on any strenuous activities and try not to spend time
outdoors. I also cut back my creative activities (I am an artist by
profession) because the reduced energy levels also severely affect my
creative abilities. With reduced energy, I lack the clarity I need to
create. Summers in the day, I try to stay indoors way from the heat. I
enjoy good elemental energies in the mornings & evenings on my porch.
This way it helps to balance my energies that are affected by
the heat. Although the heat exhausts me, I can at least regain a little
of my balance then seek out other energies. That way I only need to
restrict my midday actives due to low energy from too much heat.
