Thanks for sharing. So, how have you been handling it? I’ve decided to accept the fact that I do get anxious and started making use of humor about it. It has helped me greatly.

Oh I do too, and my last job I had to hold a meeting every week. At first my heart felt like it was going to jump out and my hands all sweaty and I mumbled a bit. I was lucky I had same group that held the meeting with so it became little more bearable over time. Talking about it helps some.
