Our best friends son got married last Saturday. I recognized the pastors name that performed the wedding from on some papers that my Mother had in her investment information after she died. I asked him & he remembered my Mother. & he did.

I told him that she had died of cancer & a little about the ID theft & the things I caught the home care RN doing along with the threats & fear the RN had left me with. That was when he told me about the meeding at the senior center that was being set up by our state district representative. He suggested that I go to it & that they want to know about experiences that people have had with ID theft. I called to find out the information about the meeting & it is Wed afternoon. They want to know what experiences people have had with ID theft. I talked to my psychologist about it, & the mixed feelings I have about trying to talk about what I went through in front a group of people. I have done alot of public speaking & have preformed my flute infront of huge audiences before, but this is a whole other situation. My psychologist thought it would be good for me to get the information about the type of ID theft I went through out to people.

In my mind, I feel that it is important to try to let people know that they need to protect themselves from ID theft that doesn't just come from someone going through their trash or getting ID information off the internet. It can happen in your own home with a person that has been trusted to take care or you......but my emotional side fears loosing it & not being able to talk through the tears.....& the fear that talking in a little more detail than just the highlights will increase the nightmares & flashbacks more than I already have.

My anxiety level is really high, & sometimes I freeze up & just can't get anything out when this happens no matter how bad I know I want to do something. Not even valium or breathing helps me thought this level of anxiety.
