I know what's it's like to be too afraid to talk to someone. Once upon a time I was that way. Do this. Write down what you need to say. Just write the main points and either number them, or highlight them. That way when you get nervous you can look at your notes. Also, get a cold damp washcloth and hold it. You can press it to your face and neck or just hold it in your hand. I know it sounds silly but you will be amazed at how much it helps. It's lets your mind concentrate of the tactile sensation instead of the panic. A cold towel in my hand has enabled me to stay in my seat during many business meetings when I felt I was going to completely lose it.

We're all here for you. Keep on talking to us.

Cheers,

Jan
