up until about 3 months ago I keep my bp a sercret or I thought I was keeping it a sercret but I found at the hard way I wasn't. everyone around me always thought that I was on hard drugs and now that they know the truth they are about to drive me insane. all I hear now is "are you okay" "what can I do " or if we talk about how your feeling we can make you better", well I havn't been better since I was 8 years old and I don't feel like talking about my feelings when most of the time I can't figure out just what it is I'm feeling. any suggestions on how to tell them how I feel

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
they only care about you. Although I cant relate cause I havent told anyone yet, I dont know what they will say or how they will react.
I wish someone would ask me if I was ok in my family. None does. its a passing hey hows it going.
Hand in there they seem to care about you..I am sure it can drive ya nuts thought. When I bitch about the same thing weeks or days from now, please send this back to me!!
lol

I jst answer ..."I'm standing upright"..then I give them my own little smile.
Some people hate to talk about being BP..some people will tell you their story,while standing in line at the grocery.I do both...depending on my mood.
And if anyone persists (because there ARE those types!), you may have to be a bit more blunt and remind them that you prefer not to discuss it and then say, 'You WILL stop now, won't you?' (Cuz I'm telling you, some people, unless they're pinned to the wall, will keep it up.)
Good luck!!! You've got enough to do dealing with it without the added stress of having to discuss it when you don't want to!!!
Take care!!!!
when I say I am fine I am but if I tll him Im not feeling so great then Im not feeling so great...If he ask me why and I know I will tellhim but if I dont know I honestly dont know so he leaves me to try to sort it out by myself until I can work it out...I dont always work it out and he accepts that now...
Sit them down gently explain to them that although they are trying to help in actual fact they arent because they are confusing you...they will understand give them time they have only just discovered that you have beepers not on hard drugs...While they are relieved they are also flying blind...Find them things to read...Give them time too...
