My mom is pressuring me to get on my two feet, and I also have schoolwork, disabilities, and a dream of attending med school (which my mom doesn't believe I can do). I got a job at a gas station convenience store, and they scheduled me to work saturdays because I went back to islam since the last time i washere (I should mention I have ptsd, or possibly borderline personality disorder, so I often shift identities frequently, but I have often wanted to convert to judaism, but fear of isolation or shame has prevented me, despite my mother's acceptance. i also fear change due to high functioning autism, but I feel like this is something i am going to do eventually). I know many reform jews work on saturdays, i dont know what the conservative position is, i know what the orthodox position is, but i feel if i convert to reform people won't take me seriously like one testimony i heard on a video promoting conversion to judaism where a woman ended up converting to orthodox). is it ok to work saturdays? am i overdoing it? i apologize if i have said anything offensive.
