I have such horrible social anixiety!!! *tear* I had to present a powerpoint today in a class full of people who run their mouths waaaaaay too much. Ok, so I am trying so hard NOT to freak out and have a panic attack before I have to present....I get up there....I am talking super fast, quietly, I can't stop stuttering and messing up, so I skip like everything and try to get done as quickly as possible. Then I was so upset about making a fool of myself, I almost had one..so, I went to my car and cried. What is wrong with me??!?!? Why can't I just be normal?
I sooo wanted to cut when I got to my car.

Hi Halliebeth
I'm sorry about your powerpoint presentation. I've got really bad anxiety when it comes to group stuff or presenting myself. Nothing is wrong with you, its nerve-racking to be in front of a class! And you didn't have a panic attack, so you were able to control your anxiety. That's something to be proud of, panic attacks aren't fun at all. You ARE normal. You can work on your social anxiety so you don't have to worry about panic attacks so much. Its a lot of hard work, but EVERYONE at one time or another had bad social anxiety when it came to presentations. Its just easier to overcome for some people and not for others. I'm sorry you had such a rough time. *hugs*

well, it goes beyond presentations.....walking into a room with people in it bothers me...walking from the parking lot into school...walking down the hallway, writing with others around, eating around people, public restrooms, restaurants, and soooooo many other things. it literally KILLS me to the point of occasionally wanting to quit school and other times i get so embarassed (like yesterday) i think about suicide. i dont know where to go with this.theres not really anything i know to do about it. *tear*

I'm sorry that its that bad.
 Can you speak to someone about this bad anxiety? Your GP or therapist (if you have one)?I tend to zone out in those sorts of situations with too many people, I can't stand being there. I hope that something is worked out for you. You sound like you need this. (((((((HALLIEBETH))))))) Take care of yourself.
