Performance anxiety will affect most people at some stage of their lives. Almost everyone gets sensations of butterflies or nausea before any event that involves speaking in a classroom or speeches at workplace.
Although this condition affects nearly everyone in various way but when the anxiousness is so acute that a panic attack entailed then it's time to consider the possibility that your condition could actually be the symptoms of anxiety disorder.
Usually individuals who experienced excessively from performance anxiety also realized that they have very high anxiety, which at the same time affects other factors of their lives. Some of them are too shy while others have phobias and feel insecure or unsafe in some situations or places.
It is not important to know which spectrum of anxiety disorder you fell into, if you have experienced inappropriate anxiousness, your condition needs to be attended to as soon as possible.
The good news is that performance anxiety can be rectified very quickly indeed. Inappropriate anxiety levels are NOT about mental illness or other kind of illnesses. It is caused by an internal 'switch',contrary to what many doctors and psychologists will tell you.
It's about how the brain handles all anxiety provoking information from the sensory organs. In every human being, there is this switch in everyone which is either 'anxiety ON' or 'anxiety OFF'.
When the anxiety switch is "OFF" it will be activated only by real threat or danger. Scary and frightening feelings will be produced only when the anxiety switch is stuck at the 'On' position.
So symptoms like intrusive and sexual aggressive among other thoughts that may appear may seems so real and so frightening but in reality they don't mean anything at all; they are just inappropriate to the situation. If you are able to switched off your high anxiety, all symptoms will fade away naturally.
Performance anxiety is a behavioral condition and NOT any kind of illness. All the symptoms and sensations will disappear quickly and permanently once you learn how to re-program the "Amygdala". Visit http://www.stopocd.org now to learn more.
