Hi

As you said, once you gain better control over your heartbeat and other physical symptoms, you naturally start feeling more confident. So, for now, try to focus primarily on learning to control your somatic symptoms of anxiety. You can practice techniques such as JPMR (Jacobson’s Progressive Muscle Relaxation), autosuggestion, slow breathing, and other relaxation techniques regularly. The aim is not to fight or suppress every sensation, but to learn that these physical symptoms are uncomfortable yet manageable and do not need to control your behaviour. Once you become more comfortable with and confident in managing your somatic symptoms, you will probably find that your overall anxiety also becomes much easier to control.

Hi, thanks for reaching out. I can understand how difficult it becomes when you know your heart rate is making you uncomfortable, and then you also start worrying about being judged or making a mistake. Inderal may help with the physical symptoms, but the fear of judgement needs to be worked on separately. Try starting with small exposures. For example, intentionally speak up once in a meeting even if you feel anxious. Don’t wait for the anxiety to disappear. Let yourself feel it and still do the activity. Afterwards, instead of analysing “How did I look? Did they notice I was nervous?”, ask yourself “I was anxious, but did I manage to do it?” This is how CBT gradually teaches your brain that anxiety is uncomfortable, but you can still function with it. If you want to take online therapy sessions, connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

Hey  , It takes courage to accept and seek  help . I am glad you decided on the same . thus it must be  frustrating to experience this when all  you want is to not experience  the anxiety .   Unfortunately , as much as i would like you to make it better on your own .  Sometimes we need a new perspective and a professional does exactly that . To see patterns , recognise what's working and what's not because healing  isn't a one size fit all . To understand that pattern and find what's working i suggest you to connect with a psychologist who would help you understand that with a goal to make you regulate better  and   hence discover tools that would help you deal in such situations.
