Doing this space yesterday reminded me of my own Hypertension diagnosis & how it affected my life:
Firstly, I was shocked when my dr told me I have a high blood pressure. My BP had always been on average 110/70 for MANY years. I did annual checks regularly “for points”..

But when I started my practice I “got busy” & slacked a little (a lot)..
2 yrs went by. Life happened. I went through patches of STRESS - work & personal life.
Then I went for a full medical because I was going to climb Mt Kilimanjaro. Then BOOM - BP is around 150/110..

We think it’s white coat hypertension syndrome: that I’m nervous as a dr patient.
Off I go to Mt Kili. My BP on the mountain fluctuates between 135/85 to 145/90 when we do daily checks with my guide.
Hike went more than well. Guide says I’m an overachiever for my summit time😁

On marriage:
I grew up in a home with 2 parents, so my expectations of what a marriage & a family should be were rooted in what I saw growing up.
Add to that, influences from Danielle Steele/ Mills & Boon Novels, Bo&Bilie, Brooke &Ridge on TV, True Love mag etc

With time, growth & experience I was forced to relook at my expectations (actually fantasies to be honest) regarding marriage (romantic relationships in general).
A lot of unlearning was done, usually brought on by pain from trying to force another person to be who they aren’t.

Which brings me to what I wanna discuss:
With so many tools at our disposal, a lot of people (still) enter into relationships w marriage /some type of long term commitment as a goal “without preparation”. Or at the very least with an idea of what else they want besides “a ring”
