Maybe Kathleen was taken poorly whilst away, after all she suggested that she would let us know 

As I don't touch alcohol .......... it has never been an option.

Hello ladies.

I survived lol!

Thanks to all those who responded to my post, your kindness and support is truly appreciated.

I took a 2mg diazepam tablet before we left and was given a cocktail on arrival but as I was concerned about the valium, I drank slowly and made it last. I had planned my escape if necessary and when we looked around the venue I noticed some quiet places where  I could sit on my own if I felt like it.

As it turned out the day and evening went very well and I actually had a good time! I even danced myself to a standstill. I wonder if part of the reason is that the day was one big distraction and as we know keeping yourself busy and focused is always beneficial.

Obviously I didn't have the  opportunity to update you all during the event as  I was too busy ( as Hurdity says it's sometimes a good sign when members go quiet !  ).

I am now recovering for the rest of the day but I wanted to say a special thank you to all you lovely ladies. Your comments helped me more than I can say and it's a privilege to be part of this wonderful forum.

I hope you all enjoy your Sunday and hugs to those who are struggling today.

Take care.

Might I suggest that, having used up that energy with anxiety as well as  , that you eat more often and keep hydrated ......... so that anxiety doesn't take over as a reaction.

What's a cocktail?

Oh Kathleen that's great you had a lovely time !

The good thing about a wedding (as well as it's a happy occasion lol) is that it's broken down into so many phases so although it's a long old day and evening, it doesn't feel it.  Plus I've been to so many where guests slip off to their room for an hour or so (maybe they have anxiety ?) so nobody would've thought any more about it

But you were a trooper ! Well done.  I was always on a high whenever I managed a whole event unscathed xxx

So happy you had a great time

Hello again ladies.

Thank you so much for your comments.

 It seems ridiculous to congratulate someone for having a good time but we all know that  it can feel like a  huge achievement. There should be medals! I also recognise that I'll probably get into a similar state the next time but I can always try ‘sex on the beach‘ again.  Worked  wonders yesterday!

Take care everyone.

OOOHHHH .............. trouble is, if I am anxious sex goes out the window  as does eating, sleeping, travelling, mixing .....

[Hurdity]

Great news Kathleen - I knew you'd be OK!

I wonder if part of the reason is that the day was one big distraction and as we know keeping yourself busy and focused is always beneficial.

Obviously I didn't have the  opportunity to update you all during the event as  I was too busy ( as Hurdity says it's sometimes a good sign when members go quiet !  ).

Sounds like you might have hit the nail on the head there - if you are not usually busy and focused most of the time? I can't remember if you are still working - but yes if you have too much to do then less time to worry, and anxiety might bubble up but unless debilitating, can be put aside because of urgent priorities - family or otherwise, as in your happy case

Long may it last!

Sex on the beach  - how did you manage that!!!

Hurdity xx

[Annie0710]

Good for you for letting Sex on the Beach calm you!

I've got visions now of you on the beach holding your cocktail....doing hanky panky lol xx

[Lanzalover]

That's great news Kathleen for you a 


I assume you mean the drink and not actual sex on the beach but if it was lucky you

How R U today?

[Kathleen]

Hello again ladies.

Thanks for all your comments, it seems you have enjoyed the cocktail almost as much as I did lol!

It's great to have a victory but as we all know the real aim is to eradicate the horrible meno symptoms completely and I'm still awaiting that happy day.

I'll be back in search of words of wisdom before long and in the meantime thanks again and I wish you all well.

Happy to hear you had a good time Kathleen!!! 

[Hurdity]

Ha ha Kathleen - well you learn something new - I had never heard of that as the name of a cocktail (not that I know many really) - I wondered why you put it in inverted commas - I thought it might have stood for something but did think you were meaning something saucy 

Hope you're still feeling good after the big day!
