Hi,

I am confused by the following sentence.

I don�t build up illusion �til it makes me sick

Could I paraphase it as follows? Which of the following might be right? If the following paraphrases are all wrong, what does the original sentence mean at all?

1. I build up illusion to the extent that makes me sick, then I stop building up. (emphasizing that 'I' build up illusion.)

2. I don't build up illusion at all to make me sick.

3. If the illusion reachs the point that makes me sick, I'll stop building it up right there.

If I build up an illusion, I stop before it makes me sick.
