i have a confession

[erthsnoopy]

my confession is that i have not been the perfect person my family thinks i am. what i mean is that in school i get good grades i am a straight a student and i am very mature for my age but. but i have not been doing my medicine continuously like i should i belive the last time i did my medicine responcibly was june of 2004 when i was first put on TOBI but the second month i was supposed to do it. every time my family askes if i have done my meds i say yes but i just lie i don't know why and they belive me because cause i am so responcible when really i am acting like a 4 yr old who don't want to eat their vegi's. recently i told my boy friend this and he is going to try and help me. like now he is making sure i do my meds by watching me do then. i think is kinda embarassing but as long as im healthy he says he dosn't care what i do or how i look as long as im doing my medicine and staying healthy. he is very understanding and he kinda has an idea of what im going through. i am glad he is helping me but i hate it so much and i think the worst thing i hate is the fact that i have lied for so many months and how come everyone thinks im healthy when im not. i feel really bad because at times i belive i might have lied to my doctors. now i understand what i have to do even if i don't want to do it but i have help along the way and i am looking forward to a more healthier and brighter future.

The fact that you have confessed to your boyfriend shows a lot of maturity, and the fact that he is supporting you and inspiring you to stay well is amazing. I think everybody has gone through a phase like this----don't allow your guilt to weigh you down and depress you. Doctors get lied to every day when in comes to patient compliance---I have done my fair share of lying to my Dr.s. As for your parents, I would hold off on telling them (sometimes ignorance is bliss)---but definitly tell them once you have your body back under control. They need to trust you and they need to know that you are mature enough to correct an unhealthy situation. Taking care of yourself and dealing with all the medicine is a huge pain in the A__!!!!, but you need to do whatever it takes to stay well. Hang in there

Yea, like the last person said, everyone goes through this phase. I know I did. I think it was because my parents never babied me and made sure I did my meds. It was always up to me. I'd lie to my parents and doctors, and then it all caught up with me the first time I went in the hospital. I felt bad, but I didn't care. The way I saw it, was that the dr.s and my parents didn't have to go through doing the meds, so they don't know how annoying it all is. I eventually matured, and I do them pretty well now.

As for your bf caring, I give him props. Not many people would push you like that, and it's good to have someone so supportive. Keep him around, because him showing he cares like that is a good sign. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
