Hello Bren. You gave me an idea. To organize an event with my old class. The problem is that here in Portugal we do not have this tradition and probably few people would appear.

Hi Bren,
Wonderful to hear you are enjoying the holiday weekend and making connections 
with family and old friends!  It's great that you found tools and techniques that helped you get through
what initially may have seemed like a difficult situation.  Hold onto those if ever you feel overwhelmed.
 
Way to go!

Hi Bren:  Wow, you got it!  You sound confident and knowledgeable.  You know what it is and know how to overcome it.  Remember to have good rest periods too.  All this activity might tire you out and setbacks sometimes come when we are overtired.  May not for you, but sometimes I have found that for myself.  So keep taking good care of yourself, proper nutrition and sleep and don't forget the relaxation breathing and muscle relaxing. 
Congratulations Bren, you're doing it. Pass it on!
 
Your friend, Sunny

Sounds to me like you are overcoming the fears. Maybe a bit fast so remember we are here for you if you get a bad day. It is normal when things start to go right. Just roll with it and keep working at it. Congratulations on your success.

Davit.

PS. knowing bad days are normal makes them more tolerable.
