Made It Through A Wedding.

[Nighthawk]

I actually survived the wedding without completely falling apart. I stayed till after dinner and then could no longer push myself to stay but I am just happy I did not shame my self or the mother of the groom. So glad all this ----- is over with.

Yay Nighthawlk, good for you. Not only did you get through the event, but you recognized when you had hit your tolerance level. Great, and I'm really happy for you too!

You did it, fantastic

You should be proud of yourself nighthawk for making it through, each thing we get through makes us a tiny bit stronger. You should also bf proud of acknowledging when it got too much that takes some doing.

Fab stuff !!!

Congrats! (Yes, I know this was a few months ago...)

How did you do it? Any wedding coping skills to share? My sister is getting married in 7 months... I am supposed to do a reading at the wedding. I'm terrified I won't even make it to the wedding. My dad is the only one I've told about this very real possibility as everyone else would just think I'm trying to be a drama queen who wants attention. :-/

I spent most of my time outside of the function:) I did go in and sit down and showed face. I believe I was there for almost 2 hours.

Thanks! One side of my family knows about my PTSD, the other side doesn't. And the grooms family doesn't know anything, either AFAIK. I've already told my family that I only want to be seated with certain family members at the reception, so that should help.

I thimk that was very good planning on your side:tup:

I didn't go to my nephew's wedding last year. There were many reasons. Well I don't like crowds to begin with. And I had no one to let the dog out. Plus I didn't want to be in the same room as my nasty brother. But mostly it was due to my health problems. I never know how much pain I will be in till I wake up that day. So with my life I basically live on a day to day and not knowing what's ahead for me.
