i survived weekend away

[darkangel]

Hi everyone

I am just back from a weekend conference with 60 other people and I coped! - well just about - i got back in one piece but i found it really difficult at times. All my fears cropped up. We stayed at uni campus so 6 of us sharing one commune dodgy shower and toilet! I was sharing with 4 guys and 1 women but I knew all of them so we just made the best of a bad situation and had a laugh. Lots and lots of corridors (my big fear)! Had to eat meals with everyone. Sitting in lectures and working in groups with people i didnt know. Socialising at night in the pub. Journey in a minibus on motorways.

I totally relied on Bach rescue remedy and CBT - Im now home - totally exhausted and a bit emotional that I went - but I keep asking myself - Why do I put myself into these situations. When I was there, I spoke to a few people who were like me, scared and they were having bad panic attacks but EVERYONE got through it and no-one passed out or died or had a heat attack or any of the irrational fears we were all going through.

I keep telling myself that this can only get easier with practice!!!!!
