I thought my PEM was mostly triggered by physical things but now I know that for me emotional regulation and dealing with feelings etc is just as important

Summary
A person with ME/CFS wrote that they had used a Garmin Vivoactive 5 for a couple of years, mainly to check sleep quality and to see when they had overdone it. Alerts on high-stress days let them expect a PEM crash and work around it. The watch also showed them that emotional strain affected their HRV, so they came to treat emotional regulation as just as important as physical triggers for their PEM.

I get alerts for high stress days and things like that so I know when I can expect PEM and sort of work around it.
