18-Year-Old Struggling with High Cholesterol and Triglycerides

I'm sorry that's happening, I do understand the anxiety part and it makes sense especially when you have seen this affect someone else. It's hard with health, it can just feel so out of your control. I try to remember that it's okay to reach out to those closest to you, despite this fear and lack of control. They can help you tackle those tough situations, especially if they know what's going on and how they can possibly help you. Allow yourself to lean on others a little so you can have a mental weight off your shoulders, even if you can't get the physical weight off. I also think it's good to do a little rational researching. In the times you're not feeling so anxious, I think it's good to look into the incidences of aneurysm and how those can be prevented for your situation, as well as talking to your doctor about the most practical ways to stay healthy overall without overdoing it. Knowledge about what's going on and what research looks like about treatment options usually makes me feel a little bit more comfortable and in control of my chronic illness.
