Struggling with Heat Tolerance in the South

I live in the very South USA. It’s now summer and the humidity is the worst. I feel my mental health issues get worse because of the temperature. The older I get, I tolerate the heat less and less. I hate feel sweaty and gross all the time. I keep my apartment at 67 degree. Any any advice on how to tolerate the the heat better?

Thanks it’s to the point where I am so uncomfortable at my closest friends hour because they have their ac on like 76. She is a tiny person but I hate just hanging out and talking and just swearing so much from just sitting there

I'm in the high south. Not as hot and humid thank goodness. Used to live and work in the deep south so I totally understand. I'm agoraphobic so i don't get out much. My worst issue is claustrophobia keeping me from being able to shower regularly. It terrifies me to even think about it. I keep a/c on and a fan on me at all times to keep sweating down, but still get heat rashes and nasty in the folds. I do the best I can washing with adult size wipes, powders, creams, dry shampoo, etc... but summertime is miserable, and everything together is embarassing.
