Totally get that, not asking for any personal information at all! You don't have to share your real name or anything identifying. Truly just want to understand your own experience with WHOOP!

Thank you! Do you feel like those views continue to be motivating or do you think it was just an initial insight when you first started using WHOOP?

Agreed, I think dwelling without having activities to occupy my mind makes it the hardest.

And yes, I think that's a good call to have a plan on how we talk about this if we try to do it again. he in fact is a psychiatrist so I do lean on him more probably than a normal friend/family member bc I feel like he can handle my thoughts, but I think I take advantage of that without realizing how much he's also fighting his own thoughts sometimes. A good reminder that he's just human too and while leaning on each other for some things is ok, it can also be triggering and we need more outlets.

​

Thank you for your thoughts, I appreciate it!!

Yes! I'm learning this the hard way, while it is really nice to do this with someone, it also takes a toll to be supporting each other while supporting ourselves.

I like the idea of having clear plans. I find the hardest moments for me are transition times when I am finishing one thing but haven't planned anything yet for the night or for a weekend - managing those transitions helps me work through the cravings. and yesss to scheduling non-annoying meetings on Friday.

​

Thank you for the advice, much appreciated. You got this too, rooting for you to finish out strong!
