I have a presentation tomorrow. It's gonna be a powerpoint presentation and the slides basically have just a few pointers and then when it's my turn to present I just speak from what I've memorised about the given topic.
But every time I have to go up and speak in public, I'm visibly terrified. My hands and voice shake uncontrollably, I get a lump in my throat, I go red, and stare at the ground. I get like this even when we have to read off of a piece of paper without even looking up at the class. And people really, really, really notice. Sometimes I have breathing problems. The whole class can tell how scared I am. I have stomach cramps before I go up there. I have hot and cold flashes. The paper in my hand starts to shake and I forget everything. Even when I'm reading off of something, I begin reading without even thinking what I'm saying. I'm pretty sure when I go up there tomorrow, I'll forget everything.
The presentation is tomorrow. I'm in a group of 3 other people who are all ready. I haven't really made my slides yet, but that's not much of a problem.
Another thing is, this is a teacher I really respect and stuff.
I'm just terrified and need a solution ASAP. I know that's not how it works but...God, what do I do? I'm desperate for some help. I can't stop thinking about it. I'm so nervous that I can't even start working on the presentation.
