So, I'm not sure what to do about my anxiety...I can barely speak to people one-on-one. I start blushing & I can't look them in the eye. I can never relax around people, so I usually just stay alone, reading all the time.

I've been more upset about this lately...I'm a language major, yeah I know, silly right...& my grades have lowered, because of my poor performance in speaking in front of the class. We usually do presentations every week, plus class participation. It's so difficult to get up in front of the class & try to do my best. I never back out of an assignment, but it gets worse every time. I even have heard laughter (for real, not imagined) in the class before my presentations.

I can't go to therapy right now, because I'm too uncomfortable with the situation (among other reasons)..is there any way to get past this without therapy & medicine?
