Oh, I know what you are going through. I use to just hate getting up in front of the whole class and do a speech. Sometimes I would just take a bad grade instead of doing the speech but that isn't a good idea. The only thing I can tell you is, just do the best job you can. It only lasts a couple minutes and it's over....Tootsie-Pie  |

My students ask me how I can speak to such large groups so easily when they are afraid to speak before their friends. Well, I tell them everytime I meet a new class I am scared stiff. Why do you think so many speakers start off with jokes? Not to make the audience feel at ease, but to make themselves feel more at ease. Try to imagine everybody in their skivvies, that should make you relax. Or imagine them not as people but as sheep or some other animal, sitting at desks waiting for you to talk. Crack a smile, make a joke, or silly comment leading into and related to your topic. Get them to chuckle, especially the teacher. Things will go smoother. Sometimes students ask me why I sit on my desk when I speak, I say so they won't see my knees shaking. Another trick is to stare at a spot on the back wall just above the heads of the students, they think you are looking at them. Make eye conctact and smile. Above all don't worry, just do. Heck, even the Prez gets nervous sometimes speaking in public. It's as natural as breathing. Good Luck. **Darkle |

Wow...that's terrible. Panic attacks just can be so devasting. I've had a few in my life...have you tried Zoloft or Prozac? They seem to help. I'm so sorry you have to go through this when it is obviously so difficult for you. Well...just think of us when you're up there....picture us sitting there cheering you on. *hugs* -Lady Nyx  |

Im sorry...i have had like really bad panic attacks where i was almost dying! Not because of social anxiety though...i saw my kitten get runned over when I was like 7 and then the other several times i got so pissed at my sister that i sort of got in physical fights and couldnt tone down from that. You cant breath and barely stand up! You really want to talk and explain yourself and you also cant do that everytime you get a word out you bust out with heaving trying to gasp for air! So frustrating! I think you can get medication for the social anxiety though...maybe you should try some of that? -STAR PRINCESS  |
| Date: 1/11/2001 8:38:00 PM From Authorid: 20615 I am sorry to here about your affliction. I personally only get panic attacks in extremely high stress situations. But public speaking has never botherd me. But before you turn to drugs, perhaps you should try to meditate. Relax your body completely before school and picture yourself just doing it. The more you picture yourself doing it. the easier it should become. You cant avoid the public forever. So you may want to go to a library or book store and find a book on coping w/ panic disorders. It could just improve your life...ghostchaser |

I have just found out that what I have been having are anxiety attacks. Theese are real and arent a joke. You need to talk to your instructor, and see if you can give your presentation to him 1 on 1. Do not do something to your self to get out of the situation. It will only make matters worse. Have you seen a Dr.for this. I suggest you do. I ended up in the E/R over theese attacks. I don't wish them on anyone. Your Dr. will write you an excuse. Having theese attacks aren't healthy for your body. and should be taked serously. I wish you lots of luck.. |
