I get out of breath, my heart starts pounding, my voice quivers, I shake, my face goes flush and I cannot think properly in the following situations:
Confrontations of any kind
Speaking in front of groups of people
When attention is on meIn addition I feel self-conscious and awkward:
Out on the street with people are aound
On public transport
Walking in the direction of someone who is staring in my direction or walking in my directionIn these self-conscious situations I have particular difficulty knowing where to look and what to do with my eyes.
Things I've tried:
Cognitive behavioural therapy
Medication (beta blockers, antidepressants)
Power of Now
Meditation
HypnosisCan anyone else relate and know any other strategies or techniques I ought to try for overcoming these problems?
