1183666 tn?1274275146 So, JESSiCA, we meet again! I'm glad to hear you're involved with a partner and a project, but I do understand your fear of public speaking. 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.
538680 tn?1213734792 At the last school he attended he became ths MC of all programs. I do not want to rid him of his public speaking skills and confidence. I asked him why were you talking his reply was because he was done working and had nothing to do. I ask (lbenites ) who is responsible for his work load in school? Would that be me as well? The teacher and I have discussed this and she seems to be coping.
Avatar f tn Everytime when i had to get up in class i couldnt barely talk, shaking, couldnt breathe, questioned everything, couldnt think straight, forgot what i was gonna say, etc and its still the same in some ways its always triggered like when i have to ge in fromt of people, have to talk to people, walking down crowded halls, etc and it worries me cause idk if its anxiety or if its something worse what is it?
Avatar f tn I got a letter from my school stating that since I show effort in class and have pretty good grades they are inviting me and my parents to breakfast and then will have an awards ceremony. I am soo scared to eat in front of people. I'm fine with my parents but none of my friends are going either. All people I don't know or don't like. I'm picky about food too and I know I'm not going to like it so how can I eat it without looking grossed out?
Avatar f tn Though the US has continued to make big gains in productivity over the last decade, nearly all of the benefit of those gains has gone to the wealthy, not the workers. American CEOs earned 411 times as much as average workers in 2005, up from 107 times in 1990. In the economic expansion of 2002-2006, the top 1% captured nearly three quarters of income growth. http://elsa.berkeley.edu/~saez/saez-USto pincomes-2006prel.

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 m tn Trump destroys what the "the establishment" Republican Party is all about, so I'm ALL FOR HIM. This country has been trying the same thing, over & over & over, for the last 60-years... and look where it's gotten us, and WHO it's gotten us. Of course, none of you really like him, and that's okay. That's what makes this country mediocre...
Avatar f tn Can you give more information? Are you just nervous? What kind of class? Part of speaking before a class is to get practice so you'll learn to do it well and not be nervous the next time. I think we need more information because to see if you really even want to take a powerful drug to get through a class.
Avatar f tn Then he put on a condom, before he could get the head of his penis good inside of me i asked him to stop. The next day i asked my did he have anything and he got very offended.

5274485 tn?1385860167 I'm speaking of the fact that being Autistic in girls may show itself much differently than for males. Autism is a complex condition, and more observation is needed, because somehow, Autism in girls is not well-known as of right now. There ARE plenty of girls and women that have Autism, you know? I happen to actually know one: she goes under the name Joanne.
Avatar f tn 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. One time, I embarrased myself so bad that I decided that I NEED HELP.
Avatar f tn m pretty aware of my health issues, I have an anxiety disorder and depression. But starting in November 2007, my fear of throwing up and getting sick in public has spiraled out of control. I was 9 years old, but I remember it like it was yesterday. I was sitting in my gym class and I was playing with my hands... and I remember I wasn't paying much attention, but I was silent so I didn't think I was making much of a disturbance, but I guess so.
696149 tn?1314320959 Well, I spoke of it a few days ago......that is getting off the Vicodin and I just took the last 4 I had. I am terrified of what I'm probably going to face. Usually when you fear something, the bark is worse than it's bite, but in this case, the bark is just as bad as the bite, if not worse. Still, all I have to do is get through 1 week.
Avatar f tn s not them up there, because many have a fear of speaking in front of others as well. People will be paying more attention to what you are saying than the redness. Do a great job on your speaking, and this is what they will remember. Also, think about visiting a local hospital where teens & children are battling serious conditions, some are dying, some disfigured, it will put all this in perspective for you, and make you thankful that turning red is all you have to deal with.
Avatar f tn I express no opinion on the subject but I did find this interesting. "Glossolalia is commonly called "speaking in tongues". For other uses of "speaking in tongues", see Speaking in Tongues (disambiguation)." "...Aside from Christians, other religious groups also have been observed to practice some form of theopneustic glossolalia. It is perhaps most commonly in Paganism, Shamanism, and other mediumistic religious practices.
7163794 tn?1457366813 Glad it went well, I have told my story a few times, very scary I do behind the walls at a work relies program, I have a big fear of speaking in meetings, last time I was asked to do it I said yes, chickened out and scheduled my neck surgery a week before to get out of it, I have 13 years, thank you for being strong and sharing that, it inspired me.
Avatar f tn Hi I am new to this. About 2 years ago I was diagnosed with depression/anxiety. I am still on anti-depressants. I have this wierd fear of throwing up. It is to the point, where I don't even want to eat. When someone is around me who is feeling sick I freak out. I hate living like this. I get so stressed out about it. I then get discomfort because I cannot pass a bowel movement because I am so tense and then right away I think that my stomach pain is going to cause me to through up.
Avatar f tn old as I sit in my room and weigh the pros and cons of sending my daughter to daycare because her classmate was throwing up when I picked her up yesterday! Of course I was immediately feeling uneasy because of it and took meds last night to not throw up! I've talked to a therapist about it& it's done no good. This has been with me my ENTIRE Life! As a 6yr.old I sat outside my house for hours because a family member had a virus.
1216899 tn?1288570325 There have been a lot of questions and posts lately about Optic Neuritis, I have a few questions of my own. I had an MRI last week and am going in for an evoked potentials test tomorrow, for ON. I was wondering what ON feels like to some of you, as I am curious. My symptoms really are noticeable when I get warmed up. To me, my eye feels like it is under some pressure. It hurts to move it back and forth, and I can not quiet look all the way to the left.
Avatar f tn The DH of a dear friend passed away this week. In addition to mourning, she's been searching in vain for his birth certificate & their marriage license. She had to order docs through the state capital, for an unreasonable amount of money. I know it's unreasonable, because it's been privatized, and I luckily got my documents before that process was complete. (I had to get official docs to apply for Italian citizenship; they were mostly $5).
Avatar f tn I hace a fear of breastfeeding. I watched my mom really struggle with it and now it's given me anxiety. She never made very much milk and it stressed her out like crazy. I want to try it but every time I really entertain the thought i get nervous. Has anyone had a very good experience with it ?
Avatar m tn HIV is neither "dead" nor "alive". It is either active (when it is INSIDE the body), or INACTIVE (when it is outside of the body, exposed to the elements). Sexually speaking, only unprotected anal or vaginal sex is a risk for HIV. Exposure to genital secretions in any situation NOT during the above mentioned insertive sex without a condom is NOT a risk for HIV. That includes oral sex, mutual mastrubation, frottage (rubbing), etc. You have nothing to worry about.
Avatar f tn Then he will be at home with a sitter instead of school. I am so upset.My son does not want to go into class and has started crying in the morning when I leave and when the shadow leaves. Please some advice.
