Hey y’all,

I posted before with having trouble getting overwhelmed with the emotions and feeling like I couldn’t integrate properly, especially with having a high stress job.

Two weeks or so ago I started dramatically increasing my integration amount, per some of you guys’ responses.

I’ve been doing at least 20 minutes in the morning and 20 before bed of corpse pose or constructive rest (depending on whether the tremoring will stop). I just do a mindfulness meditation and follow my breath, gently bringing it back when I get off on some thought train.

I also am only weightlifting very light weight and doing walking on an incline more.

My energy’s dramatically improved and I haven’t gotten headaches or anything until today (since I worked through the weekend and haven’t had as much downtime). Still, the burnout feeling isn’t nearly as bad as it was and I’ve been able to tremor longer and longer every few days comfortably.

Just wanted to share the update of what’s worked for me!

Hey everyone,

I’ve suffered from chronic stress my whole life and pelvic floor problems for going on a decade. I’ve been having trouble figuring out the appropriate “dose” of TRE to avoid overwhelm.

My schedule looks like:

Cardio/weights on alternating days. Usually do about 45-60 minutes whenever I workout. On the cardio days I’ve been walking outside without my phone for an hour and trying to ground more. It seems to help. However, I tried running (which felt good in the moment) two or three days ago but I seemed to lock up after and my muscles are super tight the next day (probably just the usual soreness)

I work in a high stress helping profession job. I would like to work somewhere less stressful and am working towards that in the future, but for now it’s a good job where I can pay my bills.

I’ve increased my meditation from 10 to 20 minutes at morning and nighttime which seems to help so far.

I feel like whenever I do Tre the day of, I feel amazing and have such a cool experience. Then after a few hours and into the next day my emotions are raw and it’s difficult to stay grounded in an emotionally turbulent workplace.

It seems to help tremendously, especially my pelvic floor problems. I just have trouble with being able to process the emotions in enough time. Any tips? Maybe I’m just venting and the answer is an obvious, “work in a less stressful environment”, “walk, don’t jog,” or “take more time for yourself”.

Just curious if anyone had some thoughts.
