Accountability and decisions coming up

[Red5]

Formflier,

I have been reading through your post here,

You certainly have a lot on your plate, high blood pressure is something I too have to deal with, along with a few other aliments that come from older age, and spending half my life in the service, .and the BPD behaviors certainly do not contribute anything positive to this condition/situation,

Both of us served many years in the service, and I do remember the retirement discharge physical, when I was told "you have hyper tension, were you aware of this?"... .yeah, I was, but I made it to retirement anyways, the old salts used to say, you have to make it to ten years past retirement, and then you should be alright, and be able to successfully function health wise as a civilian again, well I got three years to go.

Like I said, you have a lot going on in your life it sounds, wife, children, and just daily life, which never stops, .so take care of yourself, and if you need to, follow your own advice, and go for a walk, or out for coffee, but please take your meds, and keep close eye on the pressure gauge my friend... .we all have many years left in us, even though we struggle in this lot of life we have been dealt.

Keep posting, and we'll keep reading,

It's the hypertension that worries me most about my DH's health, and his developed over a 33 year marriage to the uNPD/BPD now-ex. I think he managed it with the activity and exercise required as an infantry officer, but other health problems stemming from the infantry eventually interfered with the 10k and marathon running that kept his heart health okay.

I don't feel guilty at all when I ask him to back off one of the adult children issues that involves his ex... .I can literally see him start to flush.

I think a high level of reflection might be required in a daily basis.

Again, triage. The most important thing is your health, FF. What activities, hobbies, entertainments, distractions, etc. can you do to nourish your soul and allow your body to unwind and relax?

I know you've got a lot on your plate, but you desperately need some "ME" time too!
