Hello all. I have this dibilitating fear of public speaking, even "group" speaking. It really got out of control last year in one of my college courses. I had to give a presentation for a grade. I got up there and started to have a panic attack. I had to leave the class before I passed out, literally. Ever since then I have panic attacks periodically. Because of this, it has prevented me from going back to school and obtaining a degree. Now I fear that I will be in this dead-end job forever (I clean for a living). I don't know what to do. I'm really at a lost and I can't seem to overcome it. I'm so tired of people, who don't have this fear, telling me to just get over it, or to try to face my fear. But who wants to pass out in front of people? Not I. Anyone will similar experiences have any advice? Thank you all.
