I was told by my uni that I need to visit a doctor and get a certificate for this that is due to depression, anxiety, and such. This way the Uni can help me avoid oral presentation in front of groups, I think. 

Do you guys know what to not tell the doctor to get help? case of stage fright). I was told by my uni that I need to visit a doctor and get a certificate for this that is due to depression, anxiety, and such. This way the Uni can help me avoid oral presentatione in front of groups, I think.

I don’t think “Rehearsing what to speak in school presentations, or tricking myself into being more focused on following the script rather then on the crowd looking at me,” is in the picture.

I am not joking when I say I’m utterly socially inept, even with family I’m like that. The root cause of this is that I’ve been bullied through my entire life, for my appearance, how I talk, etc. 

If you ask me if I have any clue how I can improve my social skills I would say no. I’m today 25 years old, and feel even more embarassed given my state. I don’t know how to practice.
