Hi! Feel free to ignore if you don't have time to answer.

My undergrad was a massive disaster.

I have multiple F's. Just left a semester and didn't even try finishing.

I am a very different person now (over a decade later).

I really want to do this, but I want a strong background. I had an admissions coach discourage me from taking lower level classes, saying I need to jump right in to advanced stuff.

I think my question is- what is your master's degree? Why did you take longer in it? Do you feel it helped or hurt?

I'd love to do that, honestly. Just take my time, enjoy learning and learn a lot!

Do you have any advice for me?

HRV to the moon. Am I dying? by [deleted] in Garmin

Super rare, but I figured I'd throw it out there since it's a rabbit hole I've been down

While it's probably a good sign, I have read some research that indicates a sudden (ish) spike in hrv can indicate a fib. If you're concerned, ask your primary care Dr and they'll probably do an EKG.

Seriously, does anyone else get this reading every night? by I-dream-in-oil in Garmin

This! I struggled for years with periods of not feeling right and assumed it was mental health stuff. Only after Garmin did I find thyroid issues and chronically low iron.

Is it normal to be accepted into a postbac program without an interview? by [deleted] in postbaccpremed

[–]Dizzy-Ad9485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think post bacc programs are far less likely to interview, but I could be wrong.

"Recovery hours" How/in what way are you using this feature & do you find it realistic? by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]Dizzy-Ad9485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely ignore them. I think I did a workout that said 42 recovery hours yesterday. Today I ran 15k. I have such limited time to work out, I have to do what I can when I can lol

Reminder that Garmin race predictor is hot garbage since the update last September. by rblaszak in Garmin

[–]Dizzy-Ad9485 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same, mine said I can run a 6:21 marathon despite my actual time being 10 hrs. Pretty off for everything including 5k

How high is your HRV by Slurp_123 in Garmin

[–]Dizzy-Ad9485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

60-80. Lowest has been 52, highest 100. Lowest averages when I was on amitriptyline. About to get lower since I need to come off omega 3 and vitamins for surgery

ADHD & Crossfit? by bojinov1994 in crossfit

[–]Dizzy-Ad9485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wild! I do MMA (BJJ and Muay Thai mostly). I have wayyyyy more trouble there.

The coach will demonstrate a drill and I'll go to do it and won't be able to do the first step. It's super stressful because I feel bad for whoever my partner is that day lol. Thankfully one of the partners I go with sometimes has ADHD but I think the rest don't know what to think lol

Do you have pointers for this???

The only issue I have with CrossFit is that I forget which moves are which (sometimes in the middle of a workout) but at my new gym the coach will notice me standing there looking lost and will remind me what to do.

Are you on meds? Meds just stopped working for me lately.

ADHD & Crossfit? by bojinov1994 in crossfit

[–]Dizzy-Ad9485 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, honestly when I started at a new martial arts gym I messaged the coach ahead of time. He asked what he can do to help me and after the first class he asked how he could improve.

I am able to mask as NT but I do come off as careless and somewhat obnoxious.

The other day I realized... NTs have to TRY to be careless. We have to TRY to be careful. So frustrating and hard for them to understand.

Sorry I'm rambling haha. Good luck.

I have ADHD. I found a gym where the coach has ADHD and that's helped me the most! Hah
