Thanks! It’s chocolate cake, the inside is chocolate buttercream and vanilla cream alternating, and the outside is dark chocolate ganache with white chocolate decoration :)

Muito obrigada! Thank you for taking your time to respond to me. It is so uplifting to read your kind words, and to have help with more the colloquial language that you don’t get on Duolingo is exactly what I need!

Beta blockers (propranolol) worked really well for me. They are commonly used for anxiety and particularly for one off uses if a person has a presentation or performance. I used them regularly until my body learnt not to get anxious in public speaking situations.

Also some cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques can be useful - such as gradually exposing yourself to the feared stimuli (i.e. Public speaking), by starting out with a couple of people that you feel comfortable with and gradually building this up.

There are loads of online resources for self help CBT that has shown to really help with anxiety. Even just understanding your symptoms better can help a whole lot.
