I sometimes think my bloodpressure is rising. but not because of rateitall. I am pretty content on here for the most part. it is my real life things that rise my blood pressure. does not help that I am a world class worrier.

If a person lets RIA get to them that much, then yes, it's time to leave.

Then you need to bail!!!!

No offense, but those who get so worked up about RIA really need to get a life. Frankly, in the daily course of events, there are many other things to worry about. Rate-It-All for me is a way for me to unwind!

A nurse once said to me that my blood pressure was so low that "only a corpse would be lower" - remember the rules, kids- say your peace, relax, and go play with your kids. Don't leave names, rate opinions instead of people, stop waiting in the weeds for a spelling mistake that you can't wait to drool over, and at least have decent grammar in your hate mail. . .getting angry over a website means you have entirely too much time and energy. (Goes along with the rule that if you do coke it's God's way of saying you have too much money.)

My blood pressure is too high but it has nothing to do with RIA.

If this is the case, you need to see a psychologist, not a physician.

Only at times, plus a good excuse to take a sickie!

Don't sweat the small stuff. And on RIA, its all small stuff.

If your blood pressure is high, then leave and see a doctor. Especially you old people.

If a website can send your blood pressure rocketing, how are you going to handle real, day-to-day problems?

...or may be it's too high because you've been ordering a Biggie Size triple cheese burger every day at Wendy's for the last two decades! Well, at least you ordered a diet coke (lol)!

If RIA is harming one's health, then either find different ways of coping, or take a break from RIA. But if RIA is wreaking that kind of havoc on your system, I would say, try looking at things in the most detached way you can for awhile. Emotion is like a drug; too much of it completely distorts your perception of reality.

I can't relate because for me, this site is a stress reliever. But different people choose to take some things more seriously than others. If the site causes you too much grief, maybe you should take a break. This is meant to be informative yet fun at the same time, and with everything in life if you aren't having fun then you best back away.

If it does, you take this place too seriously and have to take some time off.
