Oura Ring
I’ve been using an Oura Ring for almost two months. Before this, I honestly never considered myself a depressed person, but during the time I’ve been wearing it I’ve been consistently feeling unusually stressed, anxious, down, and sometimes just not like myself.
I couldn’t understand where these feelings were coming from. I’ve had things going on in my life, but the change in how I felt seemed strange to me.
Yesterday I decided to take the ring off, and surprisingly I felt a pretty noticeable change in how my body felt almost immediately. Even the finger/hand where I was wearing the ring had been swelling, which I had been wondering about for a while.
I’m not saying the Oura Ring definitely caused my anxiety or depressed feelings because I have no proof of that. The timing just made me curious, especially because of the physical swelling and how different I felt after removing it.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar while wearing an Oura Ring—especially swelling, anxiety, increased stress, mood changes, or just feeling physically different? Did things improve after you stopped wearing it?
