Every time I have to speak in front of people, I freeze up and my heart races like crazy. It?s embarrassing and I?m tired of feeling this way. I think it?s some kind of anxiety, but I?m not sure what to do about it. Do you know any solid online treatments or therapy options that could help me manage this?
That heart-racing freeze is the worst. I used to dread presentations, my mind going blank no matter how prepared I was. A friend finally clued me in that this kind of situational anxiety can sometimes be linked to an overactive, ADHD-type nervous system?it's not a character flaw, it's a wiring one. That reframe was huge for me. I found a really practical article on PNSoc that breaks down online treatment options for exactly this. It helped me understand the "why" and find strategies that actually work. Might give you a new perspective: ADHD specialists .Hang in there. Understanding what's actually happening in your brain makes all the difference.
