[quote=Anonymous]1) Accept that it's happening. Instead of tensing and fighting against it, think to yourself, OK, I know what this is; this is unpleasant, but I can handle it. 2) Use your senses: what can I see, what can I hear, what can I smell. What you're doing with that is you are proving to your body and mind that there is no immediate threat--no bears, no hurricanes, no snakes on a plane. You're in your office, it's quiet, all is well. 3) Talk to your doctor! A low dose of something mild to treat "situational anxiety" (stressful next few days for known factors) can help you manage. There are plenty of medications that treat the symptoms while still allowing you to go to work, drive, present, etc. Please talk to your doctor--there is help available to you! 4) Read "The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook," it's a really helpful resource[/quote]
