I have been with my boyfriend for 4 and 1/2 yrs. I love him so much but i get worried b/c he doesn't wanna take medicine and sometimes i do think he needs it to calm him down. He said the only thing that has ever helped him was ridillin and the dr took him off that when he turned 18. They said once he became an adult he couldn't take it anymore. I really don't understand why they would take him off something that helped him. He is 29 now. I've talked to him about going to the dr and he gets upset with me. All i want to do is help him. Any suggestions on what i should do???


Hi Teen,
I am proud of you... you have been such a good companion to your boy friend for years. Not many we can find, nowadays, a girl like you, you really want to be with him in good time and sickness. It is really a pure love.
Well, to tell you the truth, there is nothing you can do to help him or push him to go and see a p-doc. This illness needs self-consciousness, self-motivation and other things involve "self". As long as he doesnt want to do it for himself, nothing you can do for him. Your advices would go in from one ear and out to the other's.
I have a 16-yr0old son who just get Bp too last year. It is very difficult to make him understand that he needs help, especially therapy. He just need to take med and med, doesnt want to get exercises, and eat health food. As we all know, medication doesnt help. Exercises do. Becuase they will stimulate and activate the brain.
Afterall, co not discourage... keep up the good work....you are going to need alot of patience.
