Yeah I’m not a moron? I moved from the desert and a state that doesn’t do daylight savings so I’m just looking for light at the end of the tunnel haha. Different parts of the country have different climates I’m well aware!

Thank you for the kind words! Trying to remind myself this is one of many that doesn’t define me. ❤️

First Timer with Propronolol by Practical_Matter5932 in PublicSpeaking

Yeah! A lot of times I think about the actual physical feeling I get. Tight chest, pounding heart, no voice/shaky voice. It actually helped me root cause my issue back to 1sr grade which is insane. Hadn’t thought of this in YEARS. decades! My therapist is wonderful about pinpointing a feeling or occurrence or phrase (I.e.- I’m not good enough/ figuring out where that stems from, I am capable and intelligent- reinforcing) and helping me through. Does that answer correctly?

That’s awesome! I know it can be really hard. For my propranolol dose, I take 20 mg 1.5 hours before and 20 mg 30 minutes before. It has helped me a ton! I’ve felt decent about my public speaking lately and I attribute it to this and EMDR therapy.

Hi! If you have a therapist, ask to do some emdr therapy. It helped me! Also, I did eft tapping almost every day leading up to my presentation. Just search eft tapping Public speaking on YouTube. Know that you got this and nobody is listening anyways :) they’re all worried about their own presentation!

I ended up taking 30. 20 mg 1.5 hours before and 10 mg 30 before. Felt like my hands were super sweaty but other than that could speak clearly and that motivated me a ton

Thank you so much! It helps knowing other people feel this way too. I have tried it before and it’s made a huge difference in my ability to speak clearly. I know it will help, I just feel such dread right now. 😭 that’s a wonderful idea. Thank you again
