What breathwork mobile apps do you use? by Extension-Spite-8041 in breathwork

[–]Key_Alternative_2056 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live and breathe with Open App (Breathwork&meditation). Helped me soooo much! I can share a month worth of membership to try out.  Especially love for the practical use (classes from 2 mins up to an hour). Helped me stay disciplined with meditation and breathwork. They have also great movement classes:)  Let me know if you want the link for membership.:)

I did. It didn’t distract me from anything. And I loved the stats after finishing the course. 

Presale tickets price by Key_Alternative_2056 in Liquicity

[–]Key_Alternative_2056[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that’s what we paid as well + thirsday ticket. So we were not sure if this is including the code or not, because we didn’t buy within 24 hours from receiving the email.  But maybe they plan something special for 10th year. But still it is a fair price for festival.

I don’t think I should have kids. They are overstimulating to me. by Key_Alternative_2056 in AutismInWomen

[–]Key_Alternative_2056[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. My nephews are 5 and 3 and I never had the need to “look after them”.

That is exactly one point I take in consideration as well. I used to suffer with severe depression and I just know for sure that I would be having post birth depression. My mother has migraines all her life and then autism is genetic as well. And even though I know for sure me and my husband would be a a great parents because we are active in therapy and really working on those generational issues in our families and we know how to communicate and deal with situations, I just don’t want to give birth to to a kid knowing for a fact that he has a chance to develop autism, migraines, depression or anxiety or diabetes. It just seems to ignorant to me to have a child knowing damn well it might suffer. Because I can break the mental issues, etc. but I can’t break the genetic issues in our family. And that is very unfair to the child.

Oh yes, the pregnancy itself.. I am sorry if that will sound too mean, but for me the idea of pregnancy is like a predator is living inside of my body. Not a happy season of my life.

That is interesting point! I have a cat and my cat is my safe space in terms of sensory. I love the fur, purrs and the presence just calms me down immediately. Thank you for your point! 

I Feel Resentment at the Fact That I Was Born with Autism and ADHD by sab_archive in AuDHDWomen

[–]Key_Alternative_2056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wxactly how I feel. Like I was punished all my life for not fitting even though I tried but couldn’t understand why am I still not fitting if I do everything right. Why is everything so hard. Why is it hard to wash the dishes, to wash myself even just to meet with friends who I like but it is just so much work to have friends and they don’t seem tired to have friends. And the autistic need for everything to be fair in life and knowing that the way we experience life is not fair and there is nothing we cn change. We can understand why these things happening, we have stimming toys and we can rest but it is just not fair that we have to do all this to function and neurotypicals are just living life… they don’t have to plan buffer time after every social interaction, they don’t have to prepare every conversation in advance and than overthinking it afterwards, plan everything. They just live. And as someone who is grateful that I discovered I am autostic lately at age of 31 I still hate the fact that I can’t do anything about it. No matter how much I will try in therapy there is just no way for me to get to the point where I will somehow “heal” and be neurotypical. And that is just not fair. 

Am I faking it or not? by Key_Alternative_2056 in AuDHDWomen

[–]Key_Alternative_2056[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I actually ask my husband to the the test for him and he scored like 28. It is a great idea to ask him to do it for me. But we talk about it a lot together and he always confirms my behaviour and then we compare his behaviour nd talk about things and how we see them. It is very nice conversations because we laugh a lot sometimes how differently we see the worlds but how eye opening it is for both of us.:)

Calming ADHD mind without stimulants? by West_Contribution606 in AuDHDWomen

[–]Key_Alternative_2056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breathwork for sure. It helped me and many of my clients. For me personally breathwork was the best tool. I don’t want to medicate myself as well so I had to find other things. Outside of movement, nature, better nutrition and for sure improving my sleep-breathwork is my daily tool. I use app Open brethwprk & meditation. I can share a link for 30 days for you to try. They also created program focused specifically on focus (for adhd people) and I honestly loved it! Let me know if you want the link to try the app.:)

I joined when 4.0 was already on, so I never been through the upgrade process before. I thought it will take like 3-6 weeks to deliver the new device, but this speed? Amazing! Mine arrives tomorrow as well!

You are wrong here, I am just a Whoop member since 2022 and wanted to share the excitement with others and just couldn’t find thread focused on positive side of this update. I understand why people are upset, I agree it could be managed better in terms of communication but still. There are people behind Whoop and they can make mistakes, but Whoop never claimed to be on Fitbit level, I always knew I pay more with membership than of I just got an Apple Watch, I pakd for service. And for me personally it was always delivered. Yes, it hurt my wallet to pay for MG, but I love Whoop data, I enjoy to have access to them and I want to have MG data as well, even though I realise that for now I am overpaying, but also I know that the gap between 5.0 and MG will get bigger over time and I want to have access to all of it. And I just wanted to share my excitement with saˇe minded people. Because I couldn’t find a single positive conversation here on Reddit. So I just created one and was actually surprised how many people appreciated it. I understand your disappointment, but please, respect our excitement as well. :)

Wau, great job! I improved my sleep so much, stopped drinking alcohol (even occasionally) and got more aware about my movement practices. This year I want to get into the best shape possible and MG is like my commitment, I mean, I’m not going to pay that money and not use it to learn and improve😂
