if you have anxiety, and if your studying for your career at uni or are in highschool.... how do you deal with doing things out of your comfort-zone, like doing presentations, talking to people, doing things that make you severely anxious. 
          	
          	I have really bad anxiety and its not getting any better. I would like to be able to do things out of my comfort-zone and have new learning experiences but my anxiety controls me, its controlling all the things I wish I could do but am 2 anxious 2. I thought it might help me to hear some of your stories about your anxiety and things you have done that has helped. 
          	
          	so feel free to write a paragraph on here or message me privately about your anxiety story... how did it start, when did you notice it was getting worse, and how are you managing it? 
          	
          	I hope you all are doing well <33 I miss writing and talking to you all.

@godchimi A little late but I'm basically giving at least 6-7 presentations every semester as a part of my syllabus, and I'm an introvert. So yeah it's difficult thinking about all the what ifs and screw ups. Something that really helped me is realising that honestly, nobody cares. Other than the teacher, nobody is really even listening to you lol. And I know this because no matter how much I try, I zone out during other people giving the same presentations. So nobody is even listening. Just focussing on speaking clearly is your goal. Also, don't memorise your content, learn it as you would explain it to a friend. Much easier. The issue with memorising is if you forget even a single word, you'll fumble and lose confidence. If you explain it as if actually speaking, there's no need to memorise the content. 
          	  
          	  Hope this helps you and other people too!

I am reading “Pretending to be You” , I was commenting then all of a sudden, I try to post a comment & it keeps saying “Comment failed to post” , it’s not like I am giving the story away because I have never read it before. I just make guesses at what I think might happen. Maybe I will try to inquire with wattpad office.

Hello dear writer, I want to ask something. Would you mind if I translate your book "Call me yours"? Can I share the Turkish translation on my account? If you allow me, I would like to translate it and share it.♡

  Would you accept it if I stated on the cover of the book, in the description of the book and at the end of all chapters that the original book belongs to you?:(

Hey, Im in my 20's and a Nursing student in one of the best nursing institutions on the East cost of the US. Highly competitive, and before that I went to the number 1 magnet school in my state which I had already started my clinical experience as a Senior (year 12). I had been diagnosed with severe anxiety and clinical depression leading me to have multiple psychiatric ward visits during High school, so I understand how you feel. 
          I started coping better with all of that by the time I was in my 2nd year of college. I often found myself learning how to appreciate the feeling of being alone with my thoughts but I had to force myself to also push beyond the sickening and chest tightening feelings, I first relied heavily on medications but I realized the older I got - no one could solve my problems but me. I slowly started making small talk to some people in my class even if it made me uncomfortable. the more I did, i ended up becoming more observant about my surroundings and always set in my mind while in college is that despite the different background, everyone in the class shares the same anxiousness, some more than others. Knowing you're definitely not alone makes coping with school more. No one is saying to immediately throw yourself into the wolves but slowly open yourself up more, be approachable yourself, sometimes being the conversation starter is also a mature thing to do (despite anxiety inducing).

and yes easier said than done, but as much as my anxiety holds me back on social events I also remember "work hard now, so I dont have to later." I live by that. If I continue to struggle and wait now, then I will struggle harder later. So start small with little get togethers, or if you have a friend of hear about an interesting study group of college event - go. Its stressful, but hey work hard now.
