Dangit! Seriously? Now?

Have an (informal) presentation to do in an hour, which I'm being assessed on. I keep mincing my words during rehearsal cos the music in my head is SO DANG LOUD, it's distracting! This sucks, I've been getting excellent feedback and now it's gonna be AVERAGE if not apalling! Just venting, unless there's a way to stop the music? I made cue cards to help me tho, meh.

Hey Girl .. Just deep breath ... breath .. breath .. You will do just fine

I'm here cheering for you !!!!!!

MTW, I appreciate it!

Breathing HELPED! Thank you for the reminder, it went very well! *Phew*

How was it?!?
I have a presentation to all my colleagues tomorrow...NOT keen!!!

It went well, but I was seriously scared I would break into song mid-sentence! LMAO. The facilitator said I'm a natural, and should look into a career like training... Don't worry Jacky, you can do this.

Glad the presentation went well

A natural! that is AWESOMER!!! I love the stage! even just for boring techie stuff!

I second this. Congratulations, TRIPPIN!

I'm so glad it wen't so well for you.

Awww thanks guys you never cease to amaze me with your constant support and encouragement.

Awesome to hear!!! Congrats

Im happy for you

AISH

...very cool! ...well done

last one of those I did I was seriously looking at the open window nearby as the anxiety increased...just as a means of escape, even though it was two floors up.

Ophelia...when you say music in your head do you mean real music or just constant overwhelming noise? I can't listen to music cos the songs get embedded on a loop and for days it plays and the rest of the time it's mental static and incessant like psychotic talk back radio

Music, like the other day an entire Whitney Houston album 'played'. Yesterday, it was like when you have a song stuck in your head. Except it 'plays' loudly and interferes with my thought process. Sometimes it's so loud I get it confused with external sounds, eg. I hesitated to knock on the door coz I thought my friend wouldn't be able to hear me thru 'his' loud music... I may have experienced static, but not sure...

I hope you keep doing ok, Trippin. When head music becomes so intrusive for me, it has usually been a sign of stress and winding me up towards more "unusual" experiences. Take care.

Thanks Pete I think the insomnia is taking it's toll on my body... Had 7hrs lastnight tho, that's a record for this year, maybe that's why it's quiet today...
