Conference anxiety
April 26, 2006The Beyond the Cure conference I am on the panel of survivors for is this Saturday in Ann Arbor. I’m suddenly feeling some anxiety about actually speaking on the panel. I tend to push the emotions I’m dealing with related to my survivorship away and I know that talking about them and participating in the conference in general will bring up the jumble of emotions I keep just below the surface.
Plus, I’m worried about my usual habit of turning 5000 shades of red while speaking, and all the other joys of public speaking, even though I’ve had the questions for a couple months now and know most of my answers pretty well. Yeah, I haven’t answered them all here on the blog but I have gone over them. If the spirit so moves me, maybe I blog the rest of my answers after Widget is in bed.
