Wanted to share smth I found recently. I felt like it was pretty darn accurate. I’ll provide the link here but there’s a screenshot I took that I feel I can relate to quite heavily. https://pairedlife.com/love/infatuations
I’ve struggled with so many heavy infatuations before and a friend recommended this. Hope it helps anyone else out there who’s gone through this or may be going through this right now.
I wish I had someone to hug me

I feel like my world is ending when it happens
Yes, every time. There's some people who don't get nerves, but for most of us we just have to push through it, and the fact that you get that feeling does NOT mean you shouldn't be in the job. It gets more manageable with practice, and if you're really struggling, there's meds you can get that help a lot (but don't take benzos or anything that will leave you sluggish, you still need to be "on" to present)
I’m a very confident person, but man! There are times when everything freezes, can’t breathe, can’t get a word out. The most mortifying feeling I can describe.
Yes this started happening to me. It was debilitating and continued to get worse after the first time as I knew it would happen again.
Steps I took.
1. Medication - propranolol to help with the physical manifestation. I literally could t speak
2. Took drama classes to help with stage fright.
3. I try give away the first part of each presentation to someone else, then take a middle / supporting / expert role. That way I escape the full presentation which is what I struggle with and I still get recognised as being strong and confident
