Tensor,
You have hit a very familiar note with me. I have had big problems with talking in front of people for a long long time. It brings to mind some of the worst experiences of my life.
Sar gives you some very good advice. Do your homework. Find out all you can about this and don't forget to have the medical side checked out. I never remember freezing up in front of a group until I was hyperthyroid. (unknown to me)
Then I couldn't seem to get rid of the anxiety after that.
I find now, when my AD meds are working, I am much better. My job involves some public speaking and while I dread it, I know if I am prepared, I can make it through. As with Sar, Klonopin helps. I try to avoid the merlot, especially at work.Good luck - there are ways around this. You just have to be persistent.
Greg
