I am late to this thread. But in response to Will's first post:
I'm so sorry about all that is going wrong medically with you. I know it might not seem like a real solution, but the more positively you think, there are higher chances you'll feel better, you know?
Also, for your arthritis and what not, there is this stuff, glucosamine that you can buy in liquid form, and it actually relieves that sort of pain.
And as far as the stuff running in your family, I've got a lot of that too. Not to be "gross", but cervical cancer is on both sides of my family, and my mom already had abormal cells found, so I have to get that nasty test all the time. But I am trying to remain positive, it doesn't mean it HAS to happen to me.
Same with you. Try to eat well for your heart and keep positive. I hope you feel better.
Everyone deals with friends like that. I am sure more people care about you than you think anyway. I am sure you will find a girlfriend when it's right for you.
Good luck, and cheer up damn it!
