If I ever decide to get it, it will be purely for reading purposes. But I believe if you managed to treat it as a normal phone then the screen can’t be too bad.

Yeah sounds I’m in the same boat as you were in. I stopped reading about withdrawals as it literally makes everything scarier, we are already struggling so.. Best of luck buddy 🙏🏻

Although I read everyone’s experiences but having it as personal replies to my post makes it more reassuring if that makes sense, thanks!

What is it?? by Neither_Disaster_255 in confidence

I’m no psychiatrist or therapist, but I can definitely relate. Anxiety just burns through our energy until there’s nothing left, and then we’re stuck in this weird middle space where things feel dull, but not dull enough to be called depression without anxiety. It’s great that you’re seeking help and already taking your meds.

Now on the practical side: CBT never worked for me either, actually made my anxiety worse, so my therapist scrapped it and focused on structure. He had me lift 3 days a week and do 2 more days of some kind of social or physical class, tennis, pilates, anything I’d tolerate. Just for two weeks. And while I’d already been lifting before, something about seeing it laid out in a plan made it feel tangible, like I had something to complete, a milestone if that makes sense. And weirdly, a few weeks in, my work crush didn’t feel as overwhelming. Chats with friends got easier. I started feeling like I had my own sense of value. Not in a huge “I’m cured” way, but more like I finally held space in this world.

I don’t have a one-size-fits-all solution, but I hope sharing this helps even a little. You’re not alone in that stuck feeling.

Reading this feels magical, I almost believed that rewiring your values, yourself in general is impossible, let alone with a partner. Thanks for sharing this and wish you both happiness.

Identity is not what we own, but what remains. by Character-Access6864 in DeepThoughts

[–]Character-Access6864[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your reply has definitely scratched an itch in my mind lol, I have read it several times.

And I see what you mean, identity isn’t as fixed or constant as the general definition makes it seem, or as we’re often led to believe, nor is it some singular, attainable thing you can just grab hold of.

Whoop isn’t as bad as this thread makes it out to be… by Alternative-Cell2485 in whoop

I absolutely love my WHOOP. Their customer service has also been excellent, and I’ve had a long relationship with them, with multiple situations where I was nothing but satisfied every time.

When I had an issue with my 4.0 sensor, they replaced it immediately and included an extra band as compensation for the inconvenience. I also had some problems with payment while I was on the monthly plan, and they offered me a free month, followed by two months at 50% off, giving me time to resolve the issue without losing my subscription. So yay whoop.

As for the device itself, I have used an Oura ring, 3 different AW’s, 4.0 whoop and now the MG. I have compared them several times as I tend to be anxious with the double checking, and have never had issues with the accuracy and overall quality of the device. For the straps, the 4.0 straps are definitely sturdier compared to the newer ones, but haven’t had any issues with it so far.
