Congrats! I hope it goes well.

I'm feeling pretty good. My mom is starting a non profit organization to help people like us with social anxiety and phobia get through school and get jobs. (Yeah, she's the lady that was asking for opinions earlier.) She's hiring me at minimum wage to help her get all the paperwork done and research whatever needs to be done. So, for the short term, I have a bit of money coming in. And I'm doing something that I'm good at and will enjoy. I'm hoping this will help improve my self esteem and get me to the point where I'm actually more comfortable getting a job that deals with the public.

I'm feeling a little bit freaked out. I found out today that my brother-in-law is going to have a sex change operation to become a woman! Didn't see that one coming AT ALL!!!! :eek:

Well, that...interesting. Not something you'll hear every day! Brother-in-law means he's married to your sister, right? What does your sister think? :eek:

I think my sister has to have known for some time. I don't see them very often and haven't ever been close to my BIL, but STILL!!! My mom emailed me that they were coming up for a visit, which was odd because they usually only come up around the holidays. She didn't mention anything, and then I get emails from both my sister and BIL today "prepping" me about it! At first I thought it was to tell me that he was having surgery for something else. Sooooo not what I was expecting to read, especially at work!!! I'm actually kind of worried more about my mother since she wouldn't even talk about it.

I really didn't think my family could get any more eff'ed up than it already is! :eek:

Wow, well, there you go. You never really know someone, do you? That's crazy, but hopefully everyone accepts that decision!

Congratulations to your future sister in law? That is a huge woosh of wind to knock you down. I hope your sister is okay though. probably not, but I hope she copes well. Okay.

Feeling unable to talk with my mother. Just the mere mention of dreaded d-word and she "doesn't want to hear it". :mad:

Depression sucks. ::(: I wish I had more family support. Then again, I wish I was close enough to my older sister tae talk about. But don't feel that I am.

Kind of sad. I don't really want to go anywhere or do anything except wallow. All that happened yesterday affected me much more than I thought it would. I didn't sleep too well last night. Took forever to fall asleep since a few people decided they wanted to text me at that hour. (One was important, the other two just because) I finally fell asleep in the middle of everything, I was too tired. Woke up multiple times early this morning, only to finally fall back asleep at 7am and woke back up at 8:30am.

My other cousin wants to take me to her mom's house just to lay by the pool. It sounds nice, but I'm not really caring right now. I'm going anyway though, just to see if it lifts my mood.

I wish my oldest sister would stop pushing me to do stuff. Despite my bouts of depressions. I mean, good intentions aside, I have to want to it. Can't just go along it because she suggests it - "Aw, aye, great idea!". Once again, my inability to stand up for myself for fear of causing upset shows. "Just do it 'n' keep the peace", as my mum says.

I know how it feels Graeme, I'm exactly same. What she's doing clearly isn't right.
