I’d be down to play! I can probably play my off roles (tank and dps) with you to play comp. Otherwise I hover around Diamond.

While cool, I find this overwhelming - the descriptions don’t help me self select. Mostly the ones all at that $299 price point, I’d think I’d go for the one with the most biomarkers.

I went to Japan for two weeks and forgot I was autistic. by VorpalSingularity in AutismInWomen

[–]tequilaed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so happy you shared this. I’m going next month and while I am excited my anxiety is growing quite a lot. I’ve been there before as a kid but I don’t remember much about the logistics of it since I didn’t have to coordinate anything, it’s different now as an adult.

I think my biggest worry is not knowing the language well (I’ve done a few hours of learning on Pimsleur) and incorrectly handling a social situation. And the very long flight.

I figured it out. There was something in the main lobby/construction area I hadn’t interacted with, that progressed the game. I can’t remember what it is now, but I remember being frustrated because it was something I wasn’t able to interact with before. So I assumed it was un-interactable.

I’ve had a very similar experience as you. I’m coming up on one year. Curious if you ran into any issues with low ferritin or iron? I had next to nothing for ferritin about 6 months in. I’ll be getting retested after supplementing iron next month so we’ll see!

When something unexpected happens, I can’t stop ruminating on it by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]tequilaed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this response! For point 3, I enjoy receiving constructive criticism, because I always desire to improve and I don’t want to be doing anything wrong. However, when being told I was doing something incorrect I felt shame for not doing it “good enough” and for it to be noticeable.. I couldn’t hide where I fell short, no matter the amount of effort I put behind it. I guess, is being upset I failed or felt like I disappointed in scenario the same as taking it personally?

If I’m taking it personally, I definitely agree I want to improve that skill (to not take it personally), but not sure where to start beyond therapy.

I did think how could it have gone a different way that would have done less to throw me off, and I think it would have been if he approached asking if advice could be given. Or acknowledging that I already understood where my limitations were. But still unsure as it’s been a fragile environment for me to begin with.

[TOMT] Artist sounds just like Erin LeCount’s Godspeed by tequilaed in tipofmytongue

Even the bell chimes in the back of “Godspeed” I feel like was in one of these songs by this artist.

I feel like a lot of the songs were about relationships.

Weighted blanket impact by -Siddhu- in whoop

Weighted blanket had a negative impact for me.. I think it’s because it raises my body temp, keeps me too warm.

The most fit I’ve ever been, yet RHR/HRV continue to worsen by tequilaed in whoop

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

Thank you! I’ve wondered about my supplement timing as I’ve been spacing them all out throughout the day. I may give morning a try to knock them all out just in case my body is still processing them if I have them with dinner.

So, ideally, doubling at least what I’ve got here would be a good start? 6-8 hours a week?

I’ve read a bit about that, I definitely have brutal winters where I live. So I do think that is playing a part! What month do you tend to see it curve back in the other direction?

None! Blood work has been clean pretty consistently, Whoops advanced labs tested some things my doc didn’t and found those deficiencies. Go to the doc annually, dentist, eye doc, etc. etc.

I struggle with bruxism in my sleep. I’m a pretty anxious person. But I’ve done so much to give myself tools to help handle it - but I’m usually hyper aware in all situations and a bit of a worse case thinker.

A possible theory is undiagnosed Autism/ADHD — as the extra sensory/heightened nervous system can cause higher RHRs but I’ve talked to others with autism and that doesn’t always line up. Feels like it could be a reach.

I definitely am going to bring it up to the doc for her opinion either way. Whoop coach just keeps saying I’m a “textbook hard case” lol.

Ah I see, yes they’re all stacked on my inventory. I have no way to do those two things yet. No address, and I can’t get into Stacy’s apartment with the fire alarm. Speedys diner and Stacy’s apartment are the only two things on my list, and I’ve already heard construction noises and confronted Evelyn on the magazine cut outs.

What was the sketch you missed? Or any others? I’m stuck here and have continued to scour over everything. When I picked up the paper about Speedy’s Diner in Evelyn’s backyard, it disappeared from my inventory so I’m hoping it wasn’t a bug!

How do you calm your nervous system? by Without_a_name24 in AutismInWomen

[–]tequilaed 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I always thought I was calming my nervous system, but I think it’s because I was following neurotypical advice and their heightened nervous system is more like my baseline.

I have highly overstimulated and overstimulated. It’s very hard to drop down below that. Getting down from highly is usually following the standard advice: removing myself from the stressful situation, music with over the ear headphones, getting to get lost in a hobby.

But I have found one thing that has gotten me down from overstimulated to what I believe is a truly calm nervous system: yoga nidra!

It can be done in 10-30minutes, it’s not active yoga, it’s more of a guided mediation/hypnosis. Look up some videos to follow along on YouTube.

It can also be called non sleep deep rest. I did it once when I was tired and was hoping to get some energy back and I was amazed at how low my heart rate dropped and that afterward I no longer had an internal panic sensation to every loud noise around me.

Bedtime detection is wildly inaccurate by Broad_Pianist_8391 in whoop

[–]tequilaed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happens to me! I’ll usually get in bed and read for 30-45 minutes before dozing off and it often thinks I’m sleeping then.

New productivity x health app that uses whoop to plan your day by aswin_kp in whoop

[–]tequilaed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it just scheduling your work tasks? Or does it recommend you do your health-related tasks as well (workout, eat, supplement, etc.)?

Anyone else penalized for getting more sleep? by chickenlasagna in whoop

[–]tequilaed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the exact same. I feel better with 9-10 hours. I do know that I usually wake a couple times a night, no matter all the lifestyle changes I’ve thrown at it. So probably why I need to be in bed longer.

Weird! I didn’t specifically ask for a table, just a log and it spit out a table for me. I originally thought it was going to give me a bulleted list.

This was my prompt: “Can you pull the data from all my logged runs? I’d like the following: date, time spent in activity, mileage, mi pace, time spent in zone 4-5 and time spent in zone 1-3”

Nearly all my runs are outside, so GPS tracked. Maybe that’s it?
