Hi,
I know exactly how you are feeling,
The waiting is always the worse, I worry for weeks before any event.
I usually find once I am there though I am ok.
And afterwards I am just happy that I went and made it through.
So I actually feel quite relieved.
Try and enjoy it the best you can.
I always sit near exits and take a bottle of water and sweets to suck on.
don't know if it helps but it gives me something to do when I feel anxious.
Good luck x

I hope you manage to get to the event ok and most importantly enjoy watching your daughter. Sometimes the anticipation is worst than the actual thing you're aiming to do.

I would recommend small trips out every day leading up to the event, like a crash course of exposure therapy.

I really do hope you get there and wish you well with the physical issues that you have. It's so hard dealing with one thing never mind physical & mental issues at the same time.

Good luck

Hiii, just to let you know I did it. I was not too bad anxiety wise. Physically I was only able to take 1hr and 20 mins, but my daughter was happy and proud of me, so that makes me happy too!!
Thanks all xx
