Vitamin B

You could be deficient in B12.

Try out a multi B vitimin at your drugstore/healthfood store.

See if that does anything.

Does this happen all the time or are you in love or something like that?

I can't really give advice as I go through the same thing when I am nervous.
Possible help could be found through a Doctor who works with anxiety issues.
Ask your family doctor what he/she would suggest.

Pay close attention to what triggers it & see if most of the issues are connected in some way & then at least you have a start in tackling the main source of your anxiety.

its actually in situations where i am the center of attention

i kno people say, we all get nervous, but mine is like not getting better, i should have gotten over it by now

But when your with a group of friends? it doesn't seem to happen too much?

For example: job interviews, walking in a mall by myself, having to ask strangers questions, having to wait for someone in a crowded area & they are late?

If you don't know the coping methods to actually deal with it, it only gets worse or at least doesn't get better. at least for me it has.

I love entertaining & being the life of a crowd, but I have to know the people to an extent, or at least one person there, I have to feel equal to the people there.

if it is anxiety, you can either take drugs to "relax" you (not sure how safe or reliable that is). or you can get over it by focing yourself into ackward situations. best is to go to another city where no one knows you and hit the clubs/meetings and act like someone you're not. as soon as you see how people don't really watch your every muscle contraction, you will feel liberated.

I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but it will work, you can only decide how long it takes before it works.

if you wait for it to pass, you will probably get over it, but still be a very "silent" person. if that's what you want, fine, else get moving.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking they might be love sick or something.

Maybe it's social anxiety disorder?

[Gordon]

sounds a bit like a form of public stage fright/performance anxiety ...you are the center of attention.....which often can traced back to issues with one's parents...i.e critical and / or dominant mother / father....and fears of failure/ imperfection etc.

bit different than panic attacks

having a very poor self-image and low self-esteem may also play a role

SSRI drugs - right :rolleyes:

its nervousness, the more exposure in those situations you have, the more calm and confident you will become in those situations.
