Anti-Depressants

[InbetweenDreams]

@InbetweenDreams I think I'm having flashbacks to 20 years ago when I tried using the home monitor the first time and expecting the same thing all over again. Sometimes I can feel myself getting edgy just thinking about it. It sounds crazy but I've even thought about telling the doctor the thing broke just to avoid having to deal with it. I find it hard to believe with all the people who have these kinds of problems that nobody has ever invented a way to measure BP without the person being aware of it.

The only thing that comes slightly closer are the blood pressure cuffs that go around your wrist instead of your arm. They aren't as accurate since the arteries in your wrist vary person to person and of course are smaller. Not sure if that would make any difference in how you measure it.

I do think a therapist would be able to help you more since it is something specific like that and they would be able to help you develop the skills to not feel like that. Then again, not sure "exposure therapy" is always appropriate.
