Tis me who has the BP Phobia... I KNOW the cause, which is the year spent in the... :::cough, sputter, spit:::: care of a so-called doctor who kept prescribing thyroid meds (which shot my BP through the roof), tri-AD that didn't work, and refusing to do thyroid tests. It was the first year of my first depression and black was all I could see, and I was a complete idiot to stay with him as long as I did. So, there's a whole bunch of rage tied up with helplessness in the development of the phobia. Intellectually, I know this, but emotionally, I'm not there yet.
As far as the desensitizing, in true Lumptonian fashion, it's not even on the priority list at the moment - it's been supplanted by the upcoming holidays, my SFH, trusting that my therapist is right when he says we're at the 'core', smacking down cellar demons, and general lumping. It'll probably be spring before I tackle it. Thanks for your thoughts! :)Coral the Whip
