megaplayboy Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Re: The cranky thread I have fallen to what the Welsh call Hiraeth, a deep, bitter, intense longing for the things I've lost. I tried to watch porn today and it reduced me to tears, with the realization I'm too broken to even try anymore. Funny, the more my friends and family seem to try and help me, the worse it gets when I'm alone. I think my brain has decided I'm at fault for all that bewoes me, and is taking out on me Hey, welcome to my world. So nice of you to stop by for a visit. Seriously, though, some kinds of mood/states of mind require professional feedback. Try to find a good cognitive-behavioral therapist. It's hard to put that kind of thing on friends/family, because they can't be objective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrosshairCollie Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Re: The cranky thread So, my blood pressure has been steadily reading rather high for quite some time ... Usually in excess of 130/80. High BP means excess fluid in the body, means I need more dialysis, so I've been using a stronger solution. Turns out, either my cuff is defective or I just plain can't do it right, as the doctor took my BP at the clinic visit today and got 90/60. This explains my excessive weakness, dizziness, and perhaps nausea over the last month or so ... i've been over-dialyzing and drying myself out.

I'm going to go 'light' tonight to see how I feel in the morning. I think my problem with the cuff is that I can't tighten it without a third hand, so unless I can acquire super-powers, I'm going to need help with it.
