Re: rough time
Hi @outlander @Former-Member - I'm just home briefly to pick up the cage for Jasper the kitty tommorow. I forgot it on Thursday in my rush. I'm just outside with my boy cat enjoying the breeze. Going back to the respite centre shortly.

Re: rough time
Ok @Sans911,have to see my male of the 🏠 in a minute too.Hope he accepts and they both get along.Yesterday on Facebook, someone was selling a dog ,pictured on a chain.....my heart melted because it looked cruel.Grew up with a dog on a chain now it looks cruel.This dog was in a dirty,dusty area too.
@outlander,I'm not for meds,agreed on Friday when I blamed the half mood stabiliser which I think is a anti psychotic for my state it probably was the blood pressure,not the effects of only half a wafer. @outlander, can't say what I know but I don't have any hope for me,got no control of my life.Taking meds won't help ,it is my circumstances my environment. I just at the moment need to keep calm.
Do have to get up and water plants,but know I will have to Lay down again

Re: rough time
@Former-Member do you feel like your blood pressure is up or down? If you are dizzy & light-headed it's possibly down; if you have a headache it's possibly up. If low, drink water & lie on the floor or bed with your feet/legs up the wall. If high run your wrists under really cold water and put a cool, wet towel at the back of your neck. And try to reduce your stress (yeah right, she says)

Re: rough time
Thanks @Sans911, I don't know if it's blood pressure took it on my mother's machine 106 top,77 bottom pulse 64,seems ok to me.Bit better today than yesterday.The only thing I can put it down to is I had it before, including when I turned 40 and got bullied day before birthday,took a week of long service and couldn't get head off pillow.I call it psychosomatic illness from stress.The way my anxiety has been high it's brought a few ghosts out of the cupboard that I thought were gone.
Just about to make myself go walking if my mind allows,I will try your techniques tonight,had a fast pulse and breathing last night,took two calmatives and they didn't work.As for stress,don't look at my mother or anyone else!.Had stinging eyes on Friday,that's why I thought it was blood pressure.The dr wanted to see me tomorrow but my mother will be going so I will check in with him on Tuesday.
Thanks @Sans911,just watered,picked tomatoes and trying to go for a walk.Its amazing how you can look like **** too when you feel like it.

Re: rough time
@Former-Member - that BP is ok, do likely stress is the issue. Please don't give up; try to find some solutions that will be of benefit to everyone.

Re: rough time
Thanks @Sans911,I can't see any solution besides me not existing, feel that's the answer, petrified of losing any more dignity and more humiliation. Only thing is been through it all so don't need a so called expert telling me what's going on. I am experienced in being psychosomatic.... should put that on my resume. I need to get off carers somehow,she has no respect for me ,and sees my life worthless. No hope. Think the walk is helping.Had a brumby snorting at me, didn't see him in forest, like he was getting my attention saying "there you are crazy b*****!"lol

Re: rough time
Thought walk was helping @Sans911 @outlander, until a car past and I waved back... at someone who is a gossip and I worked with.... I have too much against me in my head and life.
