I have an in person client presentation coming up on Thurs that I am really worried about.
I have PTSD and what happens when I have to talk in front of a lot of people is my voice shakes and my whole body shakes. These are the effects of my PTSD. I am scared to death that this will happen in front of a whole room of 12 people. I also easily get flustered and rush through what I have to say. Then I also blank out and cannot easily think or answer questions off the top of my head. I just blurt out whatever comes to mind first because I am so anxious.
If it were just a couple people, I would be OK, but this could be a room full of 12 people, possibly including my own company's CEO -- ARGH!
My anti-anxiety med helps reduce the shaking and my nerves, but I just need some moral support around this, and maybe suggestions around how to handle it...
I am terrified of screwing this up as a Senior member of the team, who really shouldn't have these issues.
Thank you!!
