Anticipatory anxiety - update

[LisaS]

hi guys,
its my birthday on friday (no hints honest!) and I have such a busy weekend ahead of me and i'm getting more and more anxious thinking about it.. tmrow night getting the train to london for a surprise which i'm worried about let alone the train! friday going out for a meal with lots of family, saturday going to a wedding, sunday night going to a wine bar to celebrate with friends.. Usually these all sound like fun stuff to do, but i'm getting really anxious now... My hubby said at least I managed to get thru an interview last week and that was far scarier! i guess he's right..
shall i start on the rescue remedy now!?

Hi Lisa,
wow! you made me feel dizzy reading that, firstly Happy Birthday for friday, now all i can say is that all your arrangements involve people who love and care for you, and hopefully understand your feelings? so you will be able to cope, take all your back up equipment with you (won't need them though), i so agree with hubby, to go for an interview is much more stressful than anything (in my opinion). As you say most of the time it's the thought of what might happen that's the scary part, (we know it never does)Easier said than done, but i'll say it anyway, have a fantastic week-end, and good luck for work on Monday, you are doing so well, keep us informed take care xxx

I say throw yourself wholeheartedly into what sounds like a great weekend!!

Go on you can do it.

Enjoy yourself

Love Jo x

thanks everyone..
well i have completed stage one - the theatre in london! i hardly slept, felt anxious all morning at work but then as it was coming nearer to it, i calmed a bit.. rushed for the train - nice and air conditioned, talked non stop all the way there. got into central london and it was so hot yesterday but i sort of enjoyed it! i even went into a few sales and bought myself a dress in next to reward myself! saw chitty chitty bang bang! it was really good. had a few nervous moments but had more rescue remedy.. feel shattered today but so glad i did it! next busy day coming up! bit worried about hair dressers today! more dr. bach for me!
thanks again everyone.

Awww well done on completing stage one...! the anticpation thing is hard for me too...at the moment when my parents go away I get all stressed and it's not nice....also don't want anyone outside the family around when parents are away coz i can relax better and get on with things...anyway im rambling well done!! great that you've pushed yourself I'm useless at that sometimes! happy birthday!

[pips]

Well Done hun glad you had a nice time.

Lisa

A big well done so far - you are doing so great.

How does it feel to be 30?

I was just thinking about the leaflets - perhaps we should leave some on trains for people to pick up hey?

:D:D:D
I DID IT!!!!

OMG!! what a weekend!! did the wedding - even danced !! had my drinks thing at a wine bar last night and got very very trollied with my big 30 balloon coming with me everywhere! woke up feeling very rough this morning, not great at my first day of new job! but i'm back home and i somehow got thru it!
so tonight i'm going to do absolutely nothing and veg out in front of the tv!

so there you go.. when you feel like you wont do it or can't cope - you can! I had a mantra all weekend.. JFDI - it might be ok, JFDI - it might be ok, etc etc... had this going round my head all weekend..

thanks everyone for your continued support!
big hugs,
Lisa

Excuse me Lisa , I am very happy indeed to share my mantra with you all BUT 'might be ok' needs a tweak please to ' it will be ok '

Many congratulations indeed !! You did great .
