thanks Sarah
I have to go the day before so will be committed, but yes, wearing glasses may help and I do have support- I'm not used to asking for it and am having to learn that it's ok to be vulnerable and stuff like that. I will probably have to take advantage of my Ativan, lol, but I'll get through it. Anxiety and nervous self-conciousness have always been a problem but now it seems that my perceptions are quite skewed. I'm leaning on my husband to talk me down, as it were.

thanks again
J
