Thanks for everyone's input. One other member has finally contributed which is a relief.

I am getting very anxious. Even for my own part which is done, my short term memory and long term are failing me to remember what I am supposed to say without reading the slides themselves. Some of it is meds (Topamax/"dopamax"), some if it is anxiety, and some of it I know is preparedness that I have to keep practicing. I have it down to the alotted time when I read them but I keep getting these brain freezes, for which my time will go over. I keep having to stop and can't get restarted without reading it. It sounds so disjointed. Then the past fears creep in and try to refocus in the moment to dismiss it, 'that was then, this is now attitude.' Arggghhh. Perhaps just focus on getting through it and keep practicing, practicing, practicing.
