    Not odd or crazy, but that being said do you have anyone you could contact regularly? If something bad was to happen and you didn’t contact them then that could trigger them to come round to check on you.

      i think that my family would start wondering why they hadn’t heard from me in about 6-9 months at the soonest since that’s how frequent our contact usually is.

      besides my therapists; i think that my best bet for something like you’ve described would be with the acquaintances i frequently make entirely thanks to watching and mimicking my well loved, bubbly, extroverted, social butterfly of a mother (RIP). however the life spans of those relationships can be measured in months and there’s a continuously rotating cast; and i suspect that me trying to setup something like that with an acquaintance would only make those relationships end faster.

        I’m sorry, I hope everything is all good for you, the only other thing I could suggest is like a life line service that check in on you every few weeks.

          thank you, but don’t have sympathy for me: i’m think i’m doing decently well since my field of work is extremely lucrative and i’m high functioning enough to have extremely well paying jobs atleast half of the time and the part of the spectrum i occupy makes me seem “normal” to most, so it’s possible to socialize; at least for good while; with other people despite it being exhausting most of the time.

          someone else in this post suggested a smartwatch setup to contact emergency services automatically and i’m going to do it.

          i’m really loving the lemmyverse right now!

            Great! I hope you find a watch you like, Garmin watches can be quite good if you are looking for any suggestions. That being said I wish you all the best!

              do you have a recommendation for a rugged smart watch that can contact emergency services?

                Depends on your budget and what type of style you like.

                There is quite a few that can do something like that, if you give me an idea of what you like I’ll see what comes to mind for you :)

                  style is irrelevant to me and the budget is set by a reputable brand that uses android and has the ability/feature to automatically contact emergency services for things like a fall or a heart beat stopping; nothing besides that matters to at all.

                    So one option is the Amazfit T-Rex 2, its rugged and has fall detection, can’t remember if it can notify emergency services if your heart stops. I’d imagine if your heart stopped and you fall then it’d trigger.

                    Another one is TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra, again detects a fall and if you don’t respond sends a message to any emergency contact you choose.

                    Not sure if they are satisfactory for you, however if you are specifically looking for something for medical monitoring then you could look into a medical alert watch like: Lively Wearable2

                    Easiest thing to search for is “medical alert watch”
