T,

Benzodiazepines rock. Even if you think more medication isn't the answer, I asked my GP anyway for a beta blocker for those 2 big events. He couldn't prescribe me one, but he could give me a low dose benzodiazepine.

And it really helped. I even could get on stage for the surprise group song and didn't feel a single bit of anxiety!

Now if only my regular state could feel like that!
