I am very out of shape.
Earlier I brought my dresser drawers down to the garage to have dad help me with new holes for the new drawer pulls (that came with too short screws and I could've sworn the seller sent me new ones but I have no fucking clue where they are). I was breathing real heavy halfway through bringing them back upstairs and when I finished, my heart rate had spiked to 180-something. It only took about 5-10 minutes to get back under 100bpm, but I was dizzy and hot and my face was red. I don't like this. But I don't know where to start at this point.
In addition, my ears are hurting periodically and I just realized it's probably because of tension in my head/neck because there's no other symptoms of infection or anything. And, my adductors are still like steel cables and I still haven't taken the time to figure out how to gently stretch those either. Underwear is uncomfortable some days because of how tight they are...
I really need to figure something out. But I'm still scared of doing much without supervision because of the hypermobility and not really knowing the difference between good,/productive pain and bad/destructive pain. And we're going to be moving in a few months and I'm going to be nearly useless. 😥
I've known this is something I need to work on for a long time, but today was a very big reminder. If anyone has resources that might help, I'd appreciate it. I'm also being reminded that the most helpful part of PT was usually the sport massage and wet heat treatments because even the supposedly hypermobile informed providers were not educated on autism and got annoyed with how slowly I progressed, though they tried to hide it...
