G is right some medicines do create a hypersensitivity to sun and heat. Talk to your Pharmacist as they know more about the side effects then the doctors do in many cases.

My advice is to understand that fear is a strong emotion that arises from your perception on a situation and an event. Adrenaline is pumped in your body and signs of fear includes increased an heart rate and the tensing up of your body. Next try to overcome and conquer it by actually DOING the thing you fear and try to IGNORE your fear by focusing on the task in hand. As mentioned by darktwiztidangel, having a cocky or a HIGHLY SELF-CONFIDENT attitude also helps, a lot! Once you get over the thing you fear, you will realize that in most situations, the fear you place to a certain stimulant or situation are unnecessary to amount of risk involved in it. After facing your fears, keep doing it again and you will get used to it and you realize that the thing that you fear is not worth being scared about.

I have that fear too. I also don't know exactly what it is called. I fear the drains on the bottom of pools because I fear of being sucked under and not being able to get back up. Don't laugh!! It's true. My favorite water creature is the orca. Ok but I have the fear of swimming in lakes and the ocean because I fear being dragged out and under. I used to love feeling the sand being pulled from under me by the surf... And then I saw the signs posted around the beach. \n\nIf your fears are similar to mine, the it may be the fear of water taking you that you have. Just try not to think about it when you're doing those things. And imagine dolphins doing the can-can!  :)  Be strong!

When you get nervous and antsy...go for a walk. It burns calories tones muscles and calms nerves. I take a bottle of water with me and after the walk and the water filling me I'm OK. I used to take a couple of bottles but after 2, I found myself looking for trees or large bushes to "whiz" behind on the way back.

find someone who is very talented. Ask the person to use you as a dummy. Let the person throw you around for like 30 mins. Also be sure to learn how to all properly and in end you will not even care if you fall. \n\nbest way to overcome fear is to face it.

AFRAID OF: Being cold and dry and exposed. It must be warm and dark and moist under all those layers of skin and muscle.

Light lots of candles and surround the tub, that is filled with the hottest water that you can be comfortable in.  Throw in some sweet smelling bath salts.  Put on a slow and relaxing cd....something very soothing.  (Enya is a good choice for me).\n\nLock that bathroom door...and IF you are old enough, enjoy sipping a glass of wine or your favorite cocktail....as you lie back in that soothing water.  \n\nTell the world to go to h_ll.....this is your time!

Bring some children with you to the children's pool. First stand up in the pool. You will be like a giant. Slowly get used to the water and overcome your apprehensions.\n\nSee how the children enjoy themselves and how they come to you for help. Just have fun and play with them. Soon you will get used to the water and you will be one step closer.\n\nEveryone has fears and everyone has to learn to overcome their own fears.

Start with this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt-You gain strength, confidence, and courage every time you stop to really look fear in the face. You must do the thing you think you cannot do.\n\nThis quote has inspired me to quit smoking, lose weight, race a 26 mile running race, and confront some painful family history....

I never used to have any fears when i was young.  As im getting older i seem to have loads.  I tend to be too overcautious with life nowadays!  It seems mad but crossing a bridge and looking over the wall to see the ducks in the rivers water is more of now a nail-biting experience.  The only thing i can suggest is a slow step, by step to conquer the fears.  It hasn't yet worked for me, the river that is by that bridge i dread, brings alot of insecurities for me.  A friend died near their from hypertherma and think its a case for me digging up the griefing part of things..  You never know but there could be a reason behind the lift you dread to take to fifth floor.  Theres a lot of emotional tree branches that our brain tend to keep a lock onto...!  Release the locks with the keys you hold in your hand.

i have two great tips:\n\n1. Only go outside when you absolutely have to.\n\n2. Layering your clothing when you go outside helps trap more of your body heat (especially if you're wearing a hat. most of your body heat escapes through your head.)\n\nthat's it.

Try putting fresh garlic under your armpit.  It will make your body temperature higher.  It should work.  Let me know if not.

I worked in a steel foundry for several years.  Eat small meals.  Eating large meals will make your skin flush and make you feel much hotter.  I find the best thing is to spray myself every half hour with water from a water bottle.  It really helps.  I bought a cooling vest one summer when I was having a really hard time, after being overexposed too heat.  I never used it at work, not very practical since you had to freeze it.  I bought the heavy duty one and I should have bought the light one, because I was so cold wearing it, lol.  \nAnother this is too cool your skin my taking a bath once every few days.  This is the best way to moisturize your skin anyways.\nAnother piece of advice which you won't like, don't suntan.\nYour hot skin will fatigue you for the rest of the week.  \nIf your working outside, wear a light shirt and light pants, your skin will thank you and you will sleep better.\n\n40 degrees, thats hot!

you need to see a doctor. at temperatures this high for such a period of time, your enzymes in your body begin to denaturize, or unwind. since your young, this probally doesnt make too much sense, but it can become a bad situation. call someone, your grandma, aunt, uncle, family friend. having a temperature of 102 or more can be dangerous if not controlled. take a NSAID such as tylenol or advil, alternating them. your best bet would be to use motrin. drink lots of water and take vitamin c, if you have any, if not, eat lots of fruit, but most importantly, get some help from a medical professional, for your healths sake!
