He makes fun of me big time about me volunteering up at my church.I was just recently diagnosed w anxiety and depression by my new therapist last week .I left my bro a note that I was up at my church helping out w psr (parish school of religion) .he insulted me by putting this in caps like he was yelling this moronic remark that hurt me s much and very childish behavoir on his part get a real job before you volunteer . I tore up the note . Next time I won't tell him where I' m going . When.the day when I have go to this assessment for me to get a job I won't even go cuz his childish way .how do I handle this one everyone ? I see my therapist on Thursday afternoon . I.have choir practice tomorrow night he hates that one too everyone .

Siblings are hard, specially hard if they tease you. Have to find an imaginary ignore button. Nice meeting you in chat spring.

Keep doing what u enjoy doing no matter what he says. When u have depression it's a hard thing to hold onto. As for ur brother I would chalk it up to childish immaturity and possible jealousy. Ignore him for now and don't let him know it brothers u. Then he'll lose joy in it and hopefully stop. Hugs

Wait you're not going to go to your assessment to potentially get a job, because you're brother is being childish and insulting? I can understand that would be hurtful, but certainly don't put things important for your life in jeopardy or just not bother with them on account of him. But yeah if he's a jerk about stuff you do then there certainly is no reason to tell him what you're up to, he can mind his own business.

I mostly get along with my brother, but we do have our differences...don't really know how it is to have siblings that constantly act like jerks though.

It's hard to not have acceptance and support from those you want it from the most, I know this well. When the depression and anxiety drain and overwhelm you to begin with, having to fight on one more front does make things seem even more impossible to overcome. It sounds like you are doing well in getting the help you need, and doing what you should to help yourself. Just keep reminding yourself that your focus needs to be on what is right for you, for right now, and that you shouldn't let him, or anyone else, interfere with what you are doing. As the others have said, if he is hurting you by his words and actions, then do what you must to limit his interaction with you, even if this means cutting him out of knowing what you are doing.

Thanks Kathleen that helps a lot .I just come and go.as I please now w/o letting him.know where I'm going . I might not go to the unemployment place on Monday morning I have better things to do w my time instead of wasting an hour and a half of my day going there when I was told it would be only a half an hour I'm not wasting my time cuz my time is very precious to me

Hope things are going better now, and that you are still succeeding in keeping your brother out of your business. As for the unemployment place....oh yeah, understand about time being precious. I sometimes have that fight with others in my life, too - NOT doing what THEY think I should be doing, because I have higher priorities, that they may know nothing about.
