I am behind you too sis!

Thanks for all the support! Katrina put a crimp into things, but I'm ready to jump right back into it with a lot of enthusiasm...not too much, but just enough, I hope.

Ragtimerose, I know what you mean. When I would go to an event, or plan events with my alum group, I would be so excited!! I would want to plan every detail!! But I didn't ever want to seem too pushy or too over the top, lest I offend the sisters, or come across as Psycho PNAM. I always felt like I was walking a fine line. The day I got my official letter though, boy did I let loose!! Now I let my excitement and enthusiasm show-and I've heard alot of positive comments about it-like, boy you are just now a sister, and you have already jumped in head first!

So I guess my point is, let the sisters see your excitement! They'll know how much this means to you! ( Sorry if I'm rambling, I just don't know how to express it clearly to get my point across :) )

Anyhoo, best wishes to you-hugs for the hard times-and keep us updated!! We're behind you all the way!

Hi to you, Jenn!

I also deal with social anxiety (as in, the disorder, not the general anxious feeling), so it's difficult for me to interact sometimes. I know what you mean about drawing that fine line. I'm so afraid of coming across as Psycho PNAM that I'm afraid I may turn some people off.

I'm learning to deal with that anxiety in small doses, but it still gets to me sometimes.

I've just ordered a journal, so I'll be writing my thoughts in it as my AI search progresses. Journaling is quite therapeutic, I've found out. Thanks to rho4life for the suggestion!

Thanks for your support!
