Hello and welcome to Psych Central Yoyogirl!!! It's nice to meet you. You have joined a community of warm and caring members who will want to offer you support and advice. Yours is welcome as well.

Please feel free to contact any community liaison or moderator if you need help navigating the forums. It will take some time for your first five posts to appear as they are being evaluated and then you will be able to join chats.

Is there anyway you could go to the party, make an appearance and then leave early or like someone here already posted send a card and gift with your parents? I used to force myself to go to gatherings only to find out it wasn't worth the anxiety and stress it caused me. Perhaps explain to your cousin you're sorry but you just can't make it.

I look forward to seeing you around!!!
