“I am experiencing acute anxiety that is affecting both my academics and daily social interactions. Before an exam, I freeze—I obsess over failing to the point where I cannot initiate studying at all. Socially, I can participate in group conversations, but if the burden of initiating or leading a conversation is on me, or when I speak in public, I get physical panic symptoms: shaking hands, a racing heart, and slurred pronunciation. Because of this, I actively avoid acknowledging people I know just to prevent an interaction. How do we treat both the physical panic response and this avoidance cycle?"”
