Hi guys,
Left a post few weeks ago about my anxiety/panic attacks during work. Since then I have been up and down, good days/bad days basically.
Still waiting to see the doc as well as they are on holiday just now.
Anyway I have started a evening course at college to hopefully open more doors into other employment and try and get myself motivated again.
Was looking forward to it but as it came closer started to feel really anxious but made an effort to go last night.
First night was last night and went ok until they told me that part of the course now is to do 2 presentations which have been added in!
I know this probably seems trivial and not many people like presentations anyway but this is a total fear for me!
I have managed to successfully avoid them in the past at college and still passed my coursework but this is now mandatory and counts for a big part of the results!
I honestly dont know what to do, the rest of the course sounds pretty good and I'm actually looking forward to it. They have just added these presentations into the coursework this year as well! Just in time for me! lol :ohmy:
Anyway I honestly dont know what to do whether to approach the course leader and explain to him about my anxiety.
I was lying in bed last night when I got back and even debated with myself on leaving the course because of it!
I have never liked presentations in the past but done a few through school etc but now my anxiety is sky high and cinfidence is rock bottom I dont feel I could stand up there without crumbling! I feel really anxious just thinking about it!
Sorry for another essay but had to explain whats happening. Any advice or similar experiences?
Cheers Guys
