Whenever i need to speak to someone about something which is somewhat important or read out loud i start to freak out, feel trapped and have trouble talking. 

It started about 6 months ago, i needed to read out loud in class and suddenly my voice started trembling, my breathing stopped and i couldn’t talk anymore. At the time i wasn’t anxious about talking out loud at all, it just happened. I have always been a confident speaker before this incident and i’m still able to talk in class and i have done 2 presentations pretty succesfully, but when i’m reading out loud or saying something which i prepared beforehand i just start tripping. 

A couple days ago i had a meeting and as soon as i sat down to talk and the person asked me how i was doing i started to freak out again. I made up an excuse to go to the bathroom and when i came back i was perfectly fine again for the rest of the meeting. 

Its just so annoying. I’m scared of freaking out while talking and thats the reason i eventually freak out, its stupid. Did someone deal with this? And how did any of you get over this?
