> Talk about a two-for one, huh? Racer, can you walk me through your phobias? Please give me as much detail as you feel comfortable sharing. Sometimes "phobia thinking" is circular, but don't be put off if that happens. Just write everything that comes to mind (again, that you feel comfortable sharing.) If you'd prefer to send it directly to my e-mail, please feel free to do so: coralcarson@excite.com

> Your suggestion of S-L-O-W-L-Y moving with the bp apparatus makes sense. WARNING!!! Here comes the "phobia" speaking: If I don't kill myself by blowing an artery with the first step, I could go to step 2. Of course, now that I've been given a reasonable plan, the little-phobia demon will find a gazillion reasons to procrastinate! My gynecologist suggested that my husband take my bp while I was sleeping - he said that only when I was truly resting could an accurate bp be taken. That's not an option I'm likely to attempt - I have enough trouble sleeping without worrying about that. LOL
> I need to get some info. how my present meds would affect bp. Any suggestions or offers on who are the pros on this board re: meds and bp?

> Funny about the spider thing - I find them wonderfully inspiring. During my first depressive episode, when the agony drove me off the couch, and death was soooo attractive, I'd head out of the house, find a spider and watch him/her spinning the webs. (I never disrupted -- just kept looking until I found one.) I thought about these fragile, little creatures, that with a strong gust of wind, everything that was home to them would be destroyed, and they'd just start spinning all over again. I also thought about the juxtaposition of the facts that spider silk is the strongest thing on earth (an rope made of spider silk can't be cut with a titanium diamond-edged blade), but in its almost invisible strands, it can be blown away with the lightest touch. I can't logically explain, but I found comfort, and enough inspiration to face one more day, from a spider . . .
