So first off i'll start off by saying that i have really bad anxiety when it comes to doing oral presentations or speaking in front of a large group, or just a group of people.I used to not have a problem with this but when i hit the 9th grade it got really bad.I just couldn't enjoy life when i had to do some kind of oral presentation. It makes me so sick inside. I eventually started homeschooling which i think made my anxiety problems worse. I took a cna class about a year ago and we had to read our reports aloud. And i could not get it together. My voice was shaking and i felt like i was going to cry.The weird thing is that there were only like 4 other people in the class. Now it seem as if i have social anxiety as well. The past few months i get really nervous when i go out to eat and i have to talk when i order. It is so ridiculous but i get really nervous. I went to starbucks the other day and i was so nervous to order something. I have never felt like this before. Now it seems in certain situations where i have to speak i just get so so nervous. And i also get really nervous with a large groups of people depending on the situation.I feel like this is getting worse and worse. I'm really concerned. What do i need to do as far as getting better? What steps do i need to take?
