Discusses how she now tries to stay calm if something annoys her.

 



Before if something annoyed me, I probably got quite annoyed about it and I would have a little rant or something; or about something on the television that I felt was an injustice. But now, I think to myself this is an injustice, but your blood pressure is going to go up if you get too involved. I am beginning to think now that before I get too dependant - my body gets too dependant on these pills- I'm seriously thinking of changing my life as best I can- i.e. losing more weight, and eating slightly healthier, and doing everything I can do to lower the blood pressure.
