Not a good day


We were invited to a family wedding on Saturday, something in all honestly i really did not want to go to as many don't understand this illness, and some view it as an oddity, something which annoys me.

Plus I have never ever felt part of that side of the family, but we went


However i  don't cope with a lot of noise or large numbers of people these ddays so it's a bit difficult to cope with

We then found out that they jumped up and down during the service, while hooping and yelling, something i found a little odd. while waving their arms around, which was unsettling to say the least


Along with this we found to my horror that this was an old ballroom with a double sprung floor, which in turn made me feel totally unstable and slightly seasick.


We did not stay for the reception, because i was drained after a 2 hour service, even though i was sat down most of that time.


When we got home we had a meal, then i fell asleep for 2 hours, and missed talking to our daughter, something i love, because she lives so far away.


i now realise that i will never go to something like that again because of the stress etc.
