Well last night was my daughter's band performance and she was awesome!!! I got through it but it was hell. No joke there was over 100 people in a very small auditorium we had to stand and there was wall to wall people.

Does anyone else feel hungover for days after stress, even if they do not drink?

Hello- I am new to the group

You did good. Now get some sleep and restore yourself. Congrats!
