Anxiety?

    Hey lads,

    Hope all is well! I have a bit of a weird one or then again maybe it's not that weird. I'm a guy and for some reason when spoken to in front of a group I get loads of anxiety. I almost feel like I'm about to burst into tears - obviously I don't actually cry my eyes out but I feel like I'm going to and perhaps my facial expressions along with my body language gives away my inner emotions to others.

    Anyways I have kind of always been like this.. Some great spells where it goes but then it can come back. I have now associated this feeling with where I work so it makes me feel pretty uncomfortable when I'm there which is a shame because I love it!

    Like to look at me, I'm healthy, fit, play sports at high level, great friends plus gf and even believe it or not have spoken to groups of 800+ people many times without any bother at all ( my job puts me in the spotlight a lot) I think I can put up a mask when in front of large groups and this front is like my persona where I almost become bullet proof but then sometimes in even casual settings when put on the spot I just want to run for the hills.

    I just hate when all eyes are on me and people are looking at me for a reaction. Could be simple little thing that I actually couldn't care about but then my minds goes mental and screams "James everyone is looking at you!!!!! " and I actually can have mini attack and almost feel like crying! What is the story with that?! Perhaps I get like this when I'm not the one in charge like controlling the environment and then feel uneasy when put on the spotlight on another persons terms?

    Think have it build up now which makes it little worse. Sorry for the long mail but love to hear from others who suffer from the above!

    Thanks,

    J
