Need help. On my last semester of school and have 2 group presentations. I normally take beta blockers to get me through it but I want to finally be over this and happy and if I keep taking beta blockers my self esteem is going to keeop going down. I keep trying to tell myself "accept" when I feel the panic coming on but nothing happens. Like in my sisters wedding a few montsh ago I had a ful blown attack and kept telling myself "accept" and doing the sel ftalk but nothing happened!!! The anxiety did not go away. Feeling hopeless and on the verge of not finishing schoo because of it. I really want to be happy and not be so afarid of giving a presentation but feel like my anxiety is too bad to overcome. Has anyone dealt with this same type of issue? I need advice, anything. Thanks and good luck to everyone.

Losing it. Can I really rid my anxiety attacks? Is it really possible?

Hi Jules-
Yes, is the answer to your question. I like the StressCenter.com info. for the basic ideas it gives you. And I LOVE a book by Dr. Howard Leibgold called Freedom from Fear. It took many of the great StressCenter.com concepts and gave me practical ways to apply them to my life. And teaches you a way to get from your anxious moments to your ultimate goal ( the public speaking) in steps, so that you can learn that you can relax and be calm in ever intensifying situations. I got the book at a bookstore or you can order the book or a lecture series on CD or DVD at www.angelnet.com .
Hang in there- you are on the right track.

I dropped out of college about 5 years ago because of presentations. I could not stand up there and give them. I was so scared...I would just skip class. I always had the worst possible scenerio in my mind. I would start worrying about them as soon as I heard I had to do one. As a result, I would get zeros for not doing the presentations and my grades ended up falling. As soon as I got a zero, I would wthdrawl from that class. Eventually, I just quit because I couldn't deal with the stress and pressure anymore. It was a horrible mistake. I wish I would have my bachelor's right now. I wish I would have just suffered through them. I really hope you make yourself do them. I think you will regret it if you don't especially with it being your last semester. Let us know how you do! I'm cheering you on!
