Most people experience some kind of performance anxiety during their
lives. Whether you are anxious about standing up and speaking in class
or giving speeches at work, nearly everyone gets feelings of
butterflies or nausea before the event. When the anxiety
is so extreme that a panic attack is caused it's time to consider the
possibility that your performance anxiety could actually be an anxiety
disorder.

Whether you are anxious about standing up and speaking in class or giving speeches at work, nearly everyone gets feelings of butterflies or nausea before the event.
Performance anxiety affects everyone differently but when the anxiety is so extreme that a panic attack is caused it's time to consider the possibility that your performance anxiety could actually be an anxiety disorder.
Most people who suffer excessively from performance anxiety are also aware that they have heightened anxiety, which affects other elements of their lives.
Some are just shy, others have phobias and feel generally unsure or unsafe in certain situations.
It doesn't matter where you fall on the 'anxiety disorder spectrum', you have inappropriate anxiety and this needs to be addressed.
Performance anxiety can be corrected very quickly indeed.
Inappropriate anxiety levels are caused by an internal 'switch' and isn't about mental illness, contrary to what many doctors and psychologists will tell you.
It's about a minute change in the way the brain handles anxiety provoking information from the sensory organs.
There is a switch in everyone which is either 'anxiety ON' or 'anxiety OFF' when the switch is off it can be activated only by real danger, when it becomes 'stuck on' it can produce anxiety symptoms which are scary and 'chronic'.
The symptoms are so real and so frightening but they don't mean that anything else is wrong; they are just inappropriate to the situation.
