What psych medications are you on? I know that some meds can raise your cholesterol... I have a pretty healthy vegetarian diet and once I had slightly high cholesterol, which seemed all wrong... then I later learned it can be caused by some of my meds.
Yay for side effects that aren't common enough to be mentioned by your doctor! Ugh, sometimes you seriously have to read the fine print.

Don't get yourself down about it.... high cholesterol at a young age isn't that big a deal and can be pretty easily corrected.

What makes people's cholesterol get high in general?
I know eggs can.
What kind of cholesterol? I know there are some kinds that are more dangerous than others. It might not be as big of a deal as it sounds.

I don't really know much about cholesterol, being a vegetarian my diet doesn't include much at all.
