I'll look out for that! Reminds me of a friend's ob/gyn who took the opposite track and said my friend is fine to continue stimulants during pregnancy (plus additional monitoring) bc managing her ADHD is crucial to keeping mental health and Life Stuff on track. There's that balance!

Really good info, I appreciate it!
Interesting point about the triggers varying from person to person. I haven't tried measuring BP after exercise, also haven't measured on non-stimulant days (bc I forget). Those should be my next data points while I wait for a doctor's appt. Thanks again! 💜

Which did you start first, the ADHD or BP meds? I've had high-ish BP since childhood but it was attributed to white coat hypertension until I started measuring myself, which was 1.5 years after starting ADHD meds. Do you ever take a day off from ADHD meds and do you notice better BP on those days?

Thank you! 😊💚

2. I can't believe I forgot the promise I made to myself: never take a call from my mother if I want to ensure a good mood! This includes my own bday!

She's not always a bummer, but she can be a bummer at the worst times, and I shouldn't risk it. This was a reminder to stay strong and screen calls🤘

I'm a hypertensive hunny ❤️‍🩹

My psychiatrist was the one who told me to check my vitals every so often and when I read her the numbers today, she said "uhhhh do you have a primary care doctor? bc I'm gonna need you to call them very soon" 😬😬
(They were closed but I set a reminder to make an appt tomorrow)

Thank you! Other than the above incident, it was a good one! 🥰

I asked my therapist "when will I get over this stuff and stop thinking about it so much???" And she said "you won't mull on it forever, and the work you're doing now is important" 🥹

The pull parents have is so strong, I want to improve our relationship.
But I have to make it clear that since I have people in my life who actually do like me, why would I spend any time with people who don't? If she can't Just Be Nicer, then she can understand why I wouldn't want her close to me

Obv I couldn't stop thinking about it, cried a few times to my husband, but each time I came back to gratitude:
I'm a pretty happy person, I'm surprisingly bubbly, I find joy easily, and I get excited about other ppl's joy (unlike...👀). I have people who like me & love me, want to spend time w/ me!

Anyway,,,, I've got a few minutes before my actual bday so I'm gonna try to let it roll off me and enjoy the day 💜🥰

It's soooo dumb to be sad about, but it's like this all the time. I got a new phone after the old one died. First call, first words out of her mouth "hi you need to call your grandmother more."
(I just had!)
Always leading with criticism/tasks. Basic niceties are an afterthought. Praise??? Lmao

I pointed it out and she said "you know how much I like to talk in the morning /s"
Lmaoooo lady YOU CALLED ME.

My therapist will be hearing about this 😤

Moms I tell ya 🤪
