mance anxiety
"I've avoided speaking in front of people my whole life due to extreme performance anxiety. I get all of the fight or flight symptoms - high heart rate, shaky legs & voice, dry mouth, sweat. I've had to leave in the middle of a presentation b4-most embarrasing moment in career. Was told to give a presentation in front of 60 peers at work 2 months ago. Instantly dreading it & wouldnt stop thinking about it. Went to my pcp month before and he prescribed propranolol. Took a 20mg pill 1.5 hours b4 and then chewed half pill 20 min b4 after saw standing room only! Slight drowsiness was my only side af. When called up, expected to freak out- my brain tried but my body didnt! Spoke clearly & confident, many compliments after! AMAZING, CAREER SAVING!"
