Hi Everyone,
Just wondered if anyone has some tips to help with social anxiety. I have to travel to the US on Sunday with work, which involves me facing two of my major fears. Flying and Presenting!! I can feel myself getting more and more worked up about both.
I've had a head ache now for about a week and I know it's related to how I'm currently feeling. I absolutely hate flying and always think the worst will happen, I spend the entire flight a gibbering wreck. My current though process is that I won’t make it to presentation as something will happen to the plane during the flight. I also feel like I won’t see my husband again. It's horrible the more I try not to think these bad thing the worse it is.
What's worse is that if I get to the US in one piece I then have to do a major presentation in front of the senior management. I'm rubbish at presenting and get so nervous that I can't breath and can hardly speak, if I do manage to get some words out my voice sounds all shaky and like I'm about to burst in to tears.
I am dreading the whole thing and just want the next week to be over!!
Please help! does anyone have any tips for how to control my nerves particularly with regards to the presentation.
Thanks for any help you can provide[V]
