Well this is a new one. Anxiety. Not just anxiety like as in test anxiety. Anxiety as in public anxiety.
I've never experience this before. Actual panic attacks at the thought of talking to people or being around people I don't know. I've always been a very outgoing, personable, can talk to anyone kind of person.
It's becoming quite the daily obstacle when it comes to my job as well. I have to make calls and talk to doctors all day and the thought of doing that makes my heart race and my chest pound. It's very disconcerting. How am I supposed to make a living if I can't do my job?
The funny thing is that I don't have anxiety while acting. I don't get anxious at auditions. I don't get anxious on stage or in front of the camera. I guess that says something about doing what you love and it doesn't feel like work.
Over 40, staying in shape and living to tell about it.
