The vile and toxic shit I've been dealing with from outtside of QOTO has put my stress levels to a point I've never expiernced before... It is effectively my health both mental and physical. I am having trouble sleeping, and is very quickly moving from anxiety to depression to a point where it is very dangerous for my health..
My blood pressure is so high right now it would be enough to get me admitted to the emergency room alone.
The really messed up part is if all these lies and toxicity wind up killing me these people are so horrible they would probably dance on my grave....
Frankly im not sure where to go from here. But I do want to say thank you foe the overwhelming support from so many of you, it helps.
@freemo I don't have context for what you're describing, but if your BP is that high, you really should seek medical treatment. And maybe take a break from social media for a day or three. Even if the site struggles or crashes without your attention, we'll be fine. Please take care of yourself!
Probably.. and also the place where they wont give you health insurance if you have high blood pressure and where doctors only see patients with health insurance unless you go to some private doctor who charges a fortune and is barely qualified.... its a shit show here, worse than america.
@freemo @IAmErik Hey Freemo, I want to say
a) I really appreciate all the work you do (and the fact that you put up with me for so long π
)
and
b) I have a suggestion for managing your blood pressure sans medication that worked great for my mom and my aunts, if you're interested. It's based on current mechanistic literature and focuses on reducing blood levels of uric acid, which is one of the major contributors to increased blood pressure, even more than sodium IIRC.
Here's a potential paper of interest (quite a few more are easily searchable), and I can PM you a protocol that might help tide you over until you can get access to your meds again. It had my mom/aunts down to half doses and then no doses fairly quickly, but I can't comment on how well you would fair when you're so stressed, and of course I'm no GP, just an ex-biochemist. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32179896/
Regardless, best of luck, I'll pray for you.
@IAmErik It comes at a very bad time, im in a foreign country with no doctor and noa ccess to my blood pressure medication... I have been on a half dose and took my lastt dose today.
