It's my brother's fiance, not my fiance's sister. So I can't talk to my brother about it because I haven't told him about my Dx yet.

I don't actually want to get sick instead of going and the comment about breaking my leg is sarcasm. I'm saying that I'm considering lying to get out of it. I truly don't lie very often and I would be disappointed in myself if I lied to get out of this, but then when I think about going, the migraine excuse sounds better than the torture of going!

I do agree that if I lie, I'm letting my anxiety win. BUT, I was only diagnosed about 6 weeks ago. I didn't realize how different my brain is until very recently. So I'm dealing with accepting that this is going to be with me for life, and I'm getting married in 2 days, and I as just forced to take a different job within my school system. I started seeing a therapist because I was dreading my own wedding because of all the attention it brings, the crowd of people who will be there, and the social dancing. So I have a lot going on right now and the thought of forcing myself to face my fears by going to the bars for someone I don't really even like is not at all appealing to me!

I appreciate everyone's responses and support, but unfortunately for me I am not closer to making a decision about how I will handle the bachelorette night! Hopefully after the honeymoon I'll have less on my mind and I'll be able to make a better decision regarding it. Maybe I just have too much to think about right now.

Thanks, and wish me luck this weekend.
