I'm positive the vast majority of us would rather streak through Wal Mart than get up in front of a group of people. (Would anybody notice us in Wal Mart? Somehow I think we'd just "blend!") I suppose there are a number of things you could try before it was your turn to be on stage.
Avatar f tn I highly recommend pausing as soon as you recognise the stutter, purposely stopping, thinking of the word you want to say, taking a breath even can all give your brain a long enough break, so you can resume speaking normally again. The interruption acts like a reboot in its a way, helps to keep you centred and with practice you can do this well enough for it not to be as noticeable to others.

Avatar m tn As BeeFree stated, it is very normal to feel anxious when we have to speak in front of a group of strangers. I'm sure that most people feel anxiety to some extent when put in that position. There are self-help books available that will teach you many tips and tricks to deal with this anxiety. If possible, take a Public Speaking class.........I did and it was the best thing I'd done for myself at that time.
Avatar f tn many people have a fear of public speaking. And remember anxiety and panic can come at the most inoppertune times even if we have previously been through the exact same experience panic free time after time. I also agree that you should not expect perfection and not be too hard on yourself. Just the fact that you get up there is something that you should give yourself credit for; that is no easy feat to accomplish in my opinion. Do you have other social situations that you get anxious in?
Avatar f tn Heartland Institute - Opposied to the the Kyoto protocol , supports the privatization of public services;opposes tobacco control measure such as tobacco tax increases and denies the health effects of second-hand smoke; and it promotes the deregulation of health care insurance, hosts PolicyBot, a data base containing 22,000 documents from 350 U.S. right-wing think tanks and advocacy groups. There's more but I think this is enough proof of bias.
Avatar f tn My problem started since I was 6, it began with an extreme fear of diabetes. Whenever i heard the word diabetes, I start to panic and have trouble breathing, my stomach hurts, get diarrhea and then start to feel the actual symptoms of the disease. In fact, I stopped sleeping on my left side because i am scared that would damage my pancreas. Moreover, if i touch a paper that has the word diabetes written on, I always wash my hands so as not to contract diabetes.
Avatar f tn Mostly he could just be a slow learner for a couple years, possible. What you should do is take him to a pediatrician and have him fully evaluated for any medical problems i.e. hearing problems, speech problems, or even a learning disability... If he has a learning disability it's very Best to get it diagnosed as soon as you can, so treatment can begin at the earliest possible! If it comes to the worst- most people fear - Autism - don't be afraid or anxious or upset...
Avatar m tn Norco I use to love Public speaking because it scared the **** out of me, gave me that fear buzz, loved being afraid ( weird ) Then with Mr Norco no fear whatsoever, wasn't as much fun. Now I'm just unsure and uncomfortable, no self confidence. This time the fear is not fun. I guess I'm just a Day 18 recovering addict, asking for help once again.... Don't think I'll put the pills in my pocket tonight.. But then again I might still need that out....
Avatar f tn If your problem is you are "too" shy when dealing with one or more people, I suggest is isn't a drug that you need. Rather you need help in facing this shyness and beating it down. This can/must be started in small steps. Pick something simple, like one situation that doesn't involve lots of people like public speaking, and condition yourself to deal with it. A good one would be talking with one other person who makes you nervous or otherwise troubled.
Avatar f tn You are both suffering from a very common phobia. Fear of the dark goes back to the dawn of man and since that time, millions of people have fought it all there lives. Please do not berate yourselves for this phobia or think you are silly for being afraid of the dark at your age. Our phobias are ours to own and suffer with as long as we do nothing about them. Since both of you have stated that your phobia is now interfering with your lives, it's time to take the bull by the horns!
Avatar f tn d probably start by seeing a therapist or other professional who specializes in treating this problem, or maybe taking a public speaking course and practicing until you lose your fear of it. Or learning some CBT type techniques of relaxation and demystifying the situation. There are herbs and other amino acids, such as taurine, that can also be helpful, though any relaxation supplement or medication can cause sedation.
Avatar f tn Fear of heights in all its forms is, I believe, the 2d most common phobia (the first is fear of speaking in public, officially, but I'm guessing more people confront heights than the need to speak in public so I'm guessing heights might be the most common fear). I have this phobia, but didn't have it until I got a full-blown anxiety disorder. If this is your only phobia, good; if you have several and are anxious about a lot of things, harder.
Avatar n tn Hello ladies, this is more of a public service announcement than it is a question. Since about week 20 I have had a coming and going "rolling" pain in my right hand side flank area. I discussed with my Dr once and she said that because the pain wasn't continuous or severe it could be a number of things including round ligament pains. The pain would come and go and I would lay on my left side and it would get better.
Avatar m tn ) to sentences, combine words, read a word as a similar looking word at first, pull in words from nearby sentences and insert them in the sentence. Again, I realize the mistake and correct it almost instantly. Now this has been going on for a week and a half, sometimes it seems worse then others. I also sometimes feel slightly dizzy. I thought it could be caused by my glasses being out of date so I got a new prescription but haven't received them yet.

Avatar f tn we probably have the original version, DD is serverely dyslexic and we thought it would be great but it didn't turn out to be simple enough for her to use. Personally it wouldn't be helpful for me because my speech is wonkie, I never know if i'm going to slur or stutter or just loose the word i'm expecting to flow out of my mouth.

Avatar m tn I tried not to do that, and it eventually leads to s strong urge to throw up, often spitting out mucus and saliva in toilet. Now I am afraid of public places, even visiting shopping malls or cinema is terrifying (unless I am near to toilet). Besides that, I feel that this throwing up issue has also somehow link itself to my fears. This means that when I am in the state of fear/anxiety (eg.

Avatar f tn I am a graduate student. I have a fear of public speaking and a stage/performance fear when I speak in front of new people or students of my class. A few of my classes require that I give powerpoint presentations in front of the class. When I am on the spot, my voice and hands become shaky - I sometimes lose concentration to the point that I cannot get words out of my mouth even though I go in front of the class very well prepared.
