I think everyone I work with for treatment at one time or another says "you're too smart for your own good" and I was thinking of all the ways they are right about that and don't know it because I hid it. One example being when my eating disorder was really bad and my heart rate regularly dipped down to "call an ambulance and keep an AED nearby" levels but before appointments I made sure to drink a fk ton of caffeine to bring it (and my blood pressure) up before they check vitals. Debating if I should tell her or not in case if I ever relapse and do that shyt again (and don't want to be IEA'd and go to a place where they say "why you here?" "eating disorder" "we don't treat eating disorders" "I know, just got involuntarily admitted this is where the squad brought me, probably gonna back out in 10 dayys to outpatient treatment again to hear the same thing and risk death or whatever and be IEAd and hear the same thing again ad infinitum until a beautiful woman takes me to Denny's and tells me all about how she likes her omelets."

This is unrelated but I was taught as a child to bring low blood pressure up with a cacao drink. I now make the drink for pleasure. I think for you it would be better than using caffeine from sodas or energy drinks because of the attendant nutritional value of milk and because cacao apparently has even more antioxidants than coffee beans.
I have recently learned an upgraded recipe from AI. If this is something that happens to you when you are at your place and can prepare a drink for yourself, I will be happy to share the recipe. It requires milk, heavy cream, pure cacao powder (available at Trader Joe's or from Nuts.com) and optional sugar. If you do not drink milk, a non-dairy substitute will do.
