Public Speaking Phobia
agh I desperately need some help
I have a huge fear of public speaking..and when I say public I mean only my class of say 20.
Whenever I have to do it I start shaking vigorously and can't get any words out at all and therefore end up having to sit down.
I've been to the doctor and they've prescribed me with some drugs to slow down my blood pressure and therefore stop the physical symptoms of shaking. However since then I havn't had to do any presentations...untill now.
I have one coming up in a week or so and am really scared as I don't know for defininate whether these drugs are actually going to work.
If they don't not only is it going to be highly embarassing yet again, but I'l also feel so low as I will know that not even a doctor can help me.
I know it sounds stupid, as it's all in my head probably but I don't know what to do.
any advice please...
