Question by Daniel: Really bad performing anxiety please help?
I’ve had this problem for many years, but over the last 2/3 years it has got much worse. I didn’t think it would last, and I expected it to improve BUT now it’s worse. I do a Graphic Design degree involving a lot of presenting in front of big groups. Over the summer I have not done any presenting and that relieved it for some time, but I feel like this has made coming back difficult, knowing I have to push myself even harder.

But every time I know there is a group discussion, I find the build-up to it so intense. So much that I feel physically sick. It takes over so much that I have missed days off college knowing it is an expectation. For me this is both humiliating and frustrating. I really want to get up there and say what I know is in my head, but the anxiety is like a separate part inside me that’s gone out of control. It makes my mind blank – and that means I will go up there and look ridiculous. I feel like I just can’t relax under these circumstances. Sometimes I can say things, but it is never completely in control. As I know everything is graded that adds to the extent of my anxiety.

By the next year,I will visit to US to proceed with my MD degree.

And I don’t need to feel that I’m not equal with them when my way of speaking English is considered.

Where can learn American idioms and quick accent developing lessons,also tips to follow in public conversation etc.

Thank you for helping .

Ever since I was little i’ve always hated being in front of groups of people. As i’ve gotten older (i’m a senior in high school) it’s only gotten much worse. It goes way beyond normal fears and develops into full blown anxiety attack. If I find out I have to give a presentation in two weeks it literally obsesses every thought for that two weeks. I can’t get through even the most simply presentation without physically shaking. It’s getting in the way of goals and I’m sick of letting this fear control my life, i’m ready to get over it.

Is it true you have to give speeches and presentations in Nursing School/College?
and DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CAN GET OVER THIS FEAR?
anything helps thank you

Okay, so on Friday, I have to get up in front of the class (EEK!) and say some poems in Spanish for Spanish class. I don’t feel THAT scared because for some reason I feel like it’s more frightning before hand than during the acual presentation. So, the hour right before Spanish I feel like I am going to barf… literally. :\ then i have lunch which doesnt help! :\ Is there any more advice just to settle the nerves!? thanks soo much! God Bless! <3 Ava

I have a terrible phobia of public speaking. I don’t just mean nervousness. My voice shakes, my knees tremble, my face turns red, and I can barely speak or look up at my audience. Is this normal? I really need tips on how to overcome this phobia. because my class presentation’s tomorrow and I’m FREAKING out.
It’s extremely embarrassing because many of my classmates are known gossipers, so if they find out that I have a fear of public speaking, they’ll tease me mercilessly or tell their friends about it.

Please don’t make fun of me.

I have this huge massive fear/anxiety about speaking on the phone.

I am 21 but can only call/speak to my parents.
I’m very ashamed about this, but the last time, i spoke to someone else on the phone, was when i was 15 ! (always text)

I hate being like this, but every time i think about calling someone, i have a massive anxiety attack.

This has been bugging me for a while and i was wondering if i could have or if there is such thing as public speaking phobia? Every time i speak publicly my heart races, i blush, i swallow my words and gasp for air alot and sometimes end up laughing because im so nervous, obviously this has left me with low grades in school and recently i avoid it by taking the day of school because I’m scared of public speaking or if its sudden and we have to perform the same lesson we found out about having to speak then i say I’m ill to be excused. It’s awful and that’s just in front of my friends and teachers never mind strangers! What can i do to help me? Is there any medications or anything? I also suffer from extreme clown phobia and fear of being murdered and its so bad that i stay awake all night to make sure nothing happens to me oh and a fear of the dark…could i get medication for these four phobias/anxieties or is it something i have to put up with?

Thanks xxx
