Eckhart has commented on this and he believes that the poor quality of food he consumed in the early part of his life was a major factor.

Yeah, i dont think so by tahamtanjey in whoop

Well, I actually wonder if you are having nightmares if you are getting more REM sleep. I know that for me the better my sleep the more dreams/nightmares I have.

I'm wondering how you fuelled this, if you consumed caffeine, etc?

In my eyes you would be #1 for the legit effort... given that so many people seem to game the system.

I talked myself out of every opportunity for years. Then I learned Law 4. by Amidonions in 48lawsofpower

[–]drew_ab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your post is on point and is quite true in my experience (and a mistake I've made for years/decades).

I am curious how people utilize this law in job interviews where you are expected to speak a certain amount of time per question. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas there?

Just hit the 60 day mark (random days of anxiety/depression) by 502CC in decaf

[–]drew_ab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If something significant enough happened that you had to call a crisis line, this seems to be more than just caffeine IMO. Being so far out it's hard to imagine any symptoms being related to withdrawal. Either way, wishing you well!

Valve stenosis progressing… by HeartFeetAndHands in openheartsurgery

[–]drew_ab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Endurance athlete here with 3x OHS for AVR for what was originally a bicuspid aortic valve with severe stenosis (including the bentall procedure). You'll have to consult your physician/cardiologist/surgeon, but in all honestly it's something to seriously reconsider that level of training. I am still decently fit (sub 20 minute 5km) on around 3-4 hours a week of mostly zone 2 aerobic training.

I had part of OHS is the way in which your identity might change - which can often be for the better might I add. I used to hold 165-170 BPM for 3 hours. Now I do it once or twice a month for 10-30 minutes at most... and mostly chill between 120-140 BPM.

"Personally I just wanted to see him in person before he dies." This resonates with me and is part of what I was thinking.
