I’m a freelancer working on a project for a client, and it feels out of my league. The deliverable is a presentation/recommendation and we had the first review yesterday. They said I did a great job, but I feel like they were just being nice. They asked questions I didn’t have answers to and made a bunch of recommendations on things to update. Next week I’ll be presenting the slides to their customer. 

I’m totally panicked about all of this and feel overwhelmed and just want to cry. I can’t even get started making slide updates because I feel so anxious about it and just want to quit. And I’m dreaming up different scenarios to try and get out of the customer presentation because I’m just so uncomfortable with it and am afraid of what they’ll ask me or say. I have a constant pit in my stomach and am sleeping terribly.

Luckily the project wraps as soon as customer presentation is over, so I just need to survive this week and next. Anyone been through something similar and have some advice they can anew?
