(this is a delayed answer I’m sorry!!!) first of all illnesses suck. ok.

I can’t really sympathize with the overprotective parents-thing, but that sucks. have you talked to them about it (generic question, but ah talking is pretty effective if it works)? you’re 18, you obviously have a craving to, like, do things, and they’re taking care of you but maybe have forgotten that living isn’t JUST being healthy…

sorry I’m probably being dumb but if you ever want to talk? just talk? I like listening. I have an AIM and an MSN and a skype if you have one you can ask it to me. you seem nice. OK BYE
