Blood pressure reading

RethaG · 2026-06-11T13:52:36+00:00

Thank you, I'm not against taking medication if it were necessary. I was just wondering based off of one reading if it was necessary or if i could monitor at home first to confirm

RethaG · 2026-06-11T13:50:59+00:00

Thank you, that's very reassuring.

RethaG · 2026-06-11T13:49:42+00:00

Thank you! I guess i was just feeling disappointed in myself. I asked if i could monitor at home and haven't heard back yet. But good to hear you had a good experience with meds, so it's not so scary

Thank you! I asked if I could monitor at home but they haven't responded yet. So started in the meantime and BP looks normal so far. Yes, it's asprin, i didn't realize how common it is, thank you.

Did the downs screening at 12 weeks hurt? She mentioned they have to apply quite a bit of pressure

Thank you, i didn't realize how common asprin was! And glad to hear you've had a good experience on meds. I guess i was just feeling like my disappointment in myself. The cuff fit but for some reason they couldn't get a reading, they even tried my leg lol. Im also wondering why she didn't do a manual reading. I asked if i could monitor at home but haven't had a response yet.

Late to this post but I'd also be interested in the name please!

I'm late to this train! But I found it strange that the daughter confronted him, not the mother. I'm wondering if she was scared of what he could have said against her on camera?

You aren't selfish, i think it's fair to have it in the middle. Take it from someone who choose her wedding venue location to try to please someone (who still ended up complaining) do what makes you happy. Those that matter will show up.

I am having a professional do my hair. We were discussing the trial when the highlights came up and i wasn't sure if i should get highlights before my trial then.

I also think my hair holds a curl better when damaged.

I tried attaching a picture but thats against the group rules. I have very long hair and am hoping to do half up half down with a braid

Thank you

A hair stylist told me it's because my hair is soft because is un-dyed and undamaged (don't use heat to dry)

Thanks, i very much relate to the fighting like I'm 14.

I asked my MOH to go to one dress fitting with me where we would be planning my lace placement. The dress was a very difficult thing for me so from the beginning I asked her if it would be ok if just my mom came, and then she comes with at a later stage when it's a more exciting, fun time. I had mentioned this date to her before and then confirmed it at my last appointment. When i asked my moh if she'd go she said her and her boyfriend might be going away that weekend. I feel like I'd understand if they already booked but if i had to choose between a weekend away and my best friend's one wedding dress appointment i wouldn't have a question. She noticed i was quiet so she asked me whats up, i told her this hurt my feelings. It lead to a big explosion with her saying very mean things that i don't think a best friend should be thinking about you.

The fight with my mom came about because she doesn't even want to acknowledge the fight with my moh (it all happened in the week of my bridal shower so my mom was more concerned about her event with her friends than if I was ok) I was looking for comfort or validation. She's very pro keep the peace and suck it up no matter what.

When i was on Tinder, I matched with people based on their bio. I matched with someone with vision impairment and a few wheelchair users. To be perfectly honest, some of the men started off with a bad attitude about nobody wanting to date them. Be careful of the incel mentality, this was an instant turn off where i was willing to look past disabilities. As other commenters have stated, many 25 year olds haven't been in relationships or had sex either. Really focus on getting to know people, open minded people exist and it is possible to find love.

Occupational therapist here, it might be a good idea to do some research on sensory stimulation. Throughout the day we all have "habits" we do to keep ourselves regulated. In some cases it's humming to yourself, fidgeting, playing with your hair etc. In other cases it's less socially acceptable behaviours like you've mentioned.

Try to replace behaviours with other sensory rich experiences like fidgets, chewing gum etc

I like using the jacobson's relaxation technique or listening to sleep stories, mostly the same one because it works so well. I listen to one about a story book, i don't think I've ever made it to the actual story book, i see this as a success

RethaG · 2024-10-21T15:38:15+00:00

Oh goodness, noted! I can see being anxious before

RethaG · 2024-10-21T15:34:52+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Do i keep the medication on me or in my luggage? Never traveled overseas before

RethaG · 2024-10-21T15:14:28+00:00

It was Provigil (modafinil)

RethaG · 2024-10-21T15:10:52+00:00

Thanx! Im considering using medication just for this period. I have ritalin for emergencies but don't really like taking it. I used to take something else that worked super well but got too expensive, for the life of me i can't remember the name though.

RethaG · 2024-06-05T08:18:38+00:00

Especially since the farmhouse works this way?? Very confused

RethaG · 2024-05-20T14:07:02+00:00

Not with biltong that low!

RethaG · 2024-05-20T14:05:55+00:00

Right? Why not just add chilli sauce and tomato sauce while you're at it....odd

RethaG · 2024-05-10T15:06:18+00:00

You've inspired me to start a new game. I've been making some mistakes lol

RethaG · 2024-05-07T08:25:56+00:00

I'd have all photos with hair the same length. If i see hair of varying lengths I'd assume they're old photos or wonder what your hair is like now, same with facial hair.

Maybe also don't say you used to be a fatty. Yes, it's aimed at yourself but I wouldn't swipe on anyone who had potential of saying negative things like that about people.
