Hi everyone.

I'm 25 and have been suffering from what i think is a social anxiety/phobia since i was about 18. Whenever i have to meet up with friends to eat drink with them i feel an overwhelming sense of panic and feel that my hands will start shaking. I don't always feel like this though which is why i'm finding it really difficult to grasp. One day i can walk into a pub and be able to order a pint without feeling this panic but on other occasions i can feel shaky again. I'm also at university and feel very anxious whenever i'm in a classroom i have a fear that i will be asked to stand up and write something on the board which i find terrifying! I've been looking into hypnotherapy to see if this would help, does anybody have any suggestions as how to overcome this.

Thanks
