anxiety meds?
if you want something light, you could get some propranolol. sometimes musicians will take it for stage fright
Yeah I don't know. Anxiety won over me and I'm practically a drop out at this point.

I've always been too scared to see a doctor.. i know uni is actually killing me its destroying my energy and my happiness.
I stop bothering to shave for months at a time.. i stop caring about eating sometimes going days without food and then when my parents ask about uni i just feel too ashamed to tell them how stressing and horrible it is, because my older siblings both passed with First degrees. One of my assignments was marked a 33 and i've not told anyone i think the 2nd year is going to be the end for me.

Same boat. I'm in second year aswell and all those presentations and group projects stress me out so much that at the end of the year, my attendance is basically zero.

surprise anyone and suddenly be extroverted as fuck
i know this is easier said then done
>>26987605
>20 whole minutes
Holy shit your just kidding right? Someone please tell me these aren't real
I can't even hold my cool for 3 minutes, I'm fucked if I have to do 20 minutes straight
I think medication might be able to help me, but I'm scared of being forever changed or fucked up from it. Is that a legitimate fear?
>>26987824
its more or less 15-20 minuites... with the synopsis i wrote.. and speaking kind of slowly.. im just shy of 10 minuites.. but finding padding and the energy t add a further 5 minuites.. and then make a presentation..
and then theres the fact i have to walk into the class.. stand up there all alone and fumble about with my presentation slides and looking at a piece of paper i know the levels of awkward im going to look and all it makes me want to do is drop out.
Does it count for your grade? Ours didn't usually so I pretended I was ill.
>>26987855
its 20% of my overal grade and in order to not fail a module i need atleast 30-39% if you get under 30% the entire module is a instant fail.
>>26987709
order them online. the one i mentioned is not examined as closely as something like xanax. most prescription meds are not controlled that strictly unless they are things like painkillers
>>26987824
Had a course where everyone had to present a topic of their own choice for an entire hour.
Insta-noped the fuck out of there.
>>26987605
I understand you anon. I have a 15 minutes presentation about some kind of official document due this Thursday and I can't stop myself from thinking what I will do when the time comes.
The last presentation I tried to do was a total mess. I was shaking like a raped kid and everybody asked me questions which I could not even hear. Then everybody mocked me.
>>26987605
you're such a little faggot cunt, go back to tumblr. Presentations are easy as piss if you're not some self diagnosed retard and you actually practice it.
>>26987991
Easy if you dont have a crippling fear of standing infront of other people and talking about something you feel confident about sure.
>>26987883
How would one go about doing that?
>>26988852
jesus. just go see a doctor/nurse practitioner, tell them you get the shakes, sweating everywhere, your heart pounds, and stomach drops. say it is affecting your quality of life and day to day interactions. if they don't offer you propranolol and xanax on the spot, then ask for it, if still no, then doctor shop.
u don't want to order fake/impure meds online from some indian pharmacy place. do it legit.
Well.. i got it to 13 minuites of talking... maybe if i stutter and have to correct my sentences a lot i can stretch it to 15minuites. going to go put together 4 or 5 slides with some pictures and quotes and prepare for a 12 minuites of life that will haunt my dreams for eternity wish me luck robots ill be back here later drinking myself into oblivion.

Today: go for a run and exercise, it will reduce anxiety a little. Tomorrow, go see a doctor, tell him social anxiety is starting to fuck up your life.
>>26987605
I made sure I got good enough grades where I could skip the presentations and still pass
>>26988852
yea man, just see a doctor like the other anon said.
I wen't to the doctor and literally said i've just been having anxiety and been really on edge and depressed etc. She prescribed me xanax and SSRI on the spot
Presentations are easy IF YOU ACTUALLY PREPARE FOR THEM AND DONT PROCRASTINATE. Most everybody there is also nervous about presenting
>>26989697
What country are you from? I'm in the US and want to do this but not sure if it's more strict over here
>>26989857
i'm from the the US, east coast.
it could possibly because my doctor likes me and somewhat cares about me since she knew my sister. I think its worth a try though. just don't ask for any drugs. Just tell the truth. you are feeling really anxious all the time, depressed and all that.
I dunno, presentations aren't hard, they're piss easy as long as you are certain that you know everything about your subject.
My preparation is generally limited to studying the subject for as long as I need to.
What is proper difficult though is socializing one on one.
>>26989975
one on one is where I shine best. With a large group my mind just goes blank
Just got back. everyone else also did my source.. and basicaly i've failed my only hope is that the peer assessed part gave me generous marks and helps pull the synopsis out of a fail.. cause i basically missed everything and didnt hit the core aims of what i was supose to be doing.. pretty much contemplating dropping out of uni now its becoming clear that everyone else in my class is smart and im dumb as fuck and got here by luck.
