Thanks Racer. I come from a family of lawyers but we never admit to having any problems especially mental ones so it will be uncomfortable. I did call my brother and asked him what I should do. He said wait and speak with someone in his office that handles disability. It will still be weird but I don't care anymore what others think, it never helped me in the past pretending everything was OK. It only kept me from getting help sooner. Sometimes I think it has its advantages to being selfish. I was selfless for too long and no one ever believed me when I said I had depression. My mother was the worst. When I was a teenage and told her I was suicidal she said everyone feels that way and to this day I don'tbelieve anything she says.
She proably the craziest person I know but functional. I always said if she had to work she wouldn't have been able to. She's extremely argumentative and controlling. Her family has the genetic disposition for depression, bipolar, and lots of plain craziness. She used to scream at the top of her lungs if she didn't get her way and not even bat an eye doing it.
