Anxiety during public speaking
I am working as HR manager on daily basis i need to connect with many employees but when it comes to speak in front of more than 3-4 people i start feeling hopeless. my hands starts to shake my voice starts to shiver and my heart beats very fast. I tried practice everything speaking in front of mirror doing exercises before induction but nothing is helping me. This is affecting my career as when it comes to announce in front of 200+ employees i ask my junior to go and convey. I am not sure if it is a medical condition but it is getting worse day by day. please help.

During an anxiety attack, it is very important to break the wishes cycle by trying to concentrate on something else besides the way you feel at this certain moment.
1. Engage in conversation with someone
2. Paint or draw, knitting help too.
3. Clean your house or yard - works all the time! the harder you work the fastest your anxiety will disappear!
4. Every time I feel anxiety I take my bunny rabbit and hold him close to my chest. It helps me a lot. I am not sure of the science behind it though! My educated guess would be Feeling Love and feeling Loved is the key.
5. Drink a little bit of alcohol. This is historically proven anxiety relief.
6. Go to bed, relax and sleep. Sleeping cures many problems.

Hello there. Sorry to hear of your difficulties. It's clear that you are having anxiety issues. I would suggest a dual approach. It would do good to consult a psychiatrist who can assess you further and prescribe some medications to take the edge off the anxiety. Also consulting a psychologist will help by providing you with cognitive and behavioural strategies in dealing with anxiety. Wishing you all the best.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist and a psychologist who could evaluate you further and give you appropriate advice.
