Move all essentials to the one area you can screen off using heavy blankets as doorway curtains. No matter how impractically small that area is. I mean, I would literally sleep in the bathroom just to be able to close it down, heat it, and make it comfy.

Eat a lot, especially fats and carbs, for quick-burning body fuel.

Drink more water.

Do NOT drink any alcohol at all, as it will cool you down, depress your metabolism, and possibly make you so drowsy you are in danger of actually, literally freezing to death.

100-watt bulbs can heat a space the size of a closet, on a clamp-lamp with reflector. Do not leave unattended.


It sounds, really, like you should stay with someone till you can get this sorted out. Urgently.
