17 with high cholesterol!! what do i do???

i have no idea what any of this means lol! also i have high blood pressure (140/90) not sure if that's related at all tho!

the results said my total cholesterol levels are 231 mg/dL (says normal value is less than 170), and LDL is 147 mg/dL (says normal value less than 110). also lmk if you need any more numbers, again idk what any of this stuff means

could this just be from my diet growing up? i think i ate pretty bad. i have no idea if it's genetic or not, i thought maybe i should go to the doctor or something to see, but my parents say it's kinda pointless and i should just watch what i eat and exercise instead.

i'm also a bit terrified of going to the doctor, so i don't really want to 😭😭

i'm also trying to lose weight (i'm slightly overweight), i'm eating in a calorie deficit and planning on being more active soon!

he doesn't like texting

i've (20f) told him (25m) before that i love texting, how it makes me feel connected to him. we aren't able to call often, like once or twice a week at most, so texting is our only choice. except that we barely even text. i don't really feel loved because of our lack of texting.

he doesn't believe texting is real and he doesn't think that it's possible to connect with someone else through text. (we literally met through text?? but okay)

i put in the effort to call him when i can. i would usually rather text because i feel awkward calling sometimes and i hate my voice, but i do it anyway because i love him!!!! i feel like my love isnt reciprocated because he doesn't put effort into texting.

the only time when he's texting back and forth with no delay is when we're sexting. not when i'm trying to have a regular conversation with him.

does anyone else face this?
