Hi guys!

I'm wondering how i should deal with anxiety, since it has been affecting me at school. I'm studying Japan at university, including the language. For some classes, we have to take turns to translate a japanese text and to read it out loud, and for another class we have to hold conversations, or for another class the teacher calls out your name and you have to answer the question etc etc.

At first I was just scared to unmute myself and talk, and i would shake so horribly that even my voice couldn't go low, so my talking sounded off. I also suddenly lightly choke mid sentence, and i keep having to swallow...? I have no idea what's going on.

Now, the issue is that I cannot understand the teacher at all because she speaks in Japanese. I can't talk well either, so i failed my oral test. I have to take a resit, but I'm so extremely anxious because i really just block out everything i hear, i stare at my teacher on my laptop screen but I'm not processing anything. I don't know what to do, next year i have these classes too so it's just repeating and deepening my anxiety. Is there any way i can change my mindset?? I don't even know what to say except that I'm so anxious to get called on, and not understanding anything

My body is heavily affected by my anxiety, which i think is rooted in my childhood (im not trying to be dramatic lol pls). I just want to get RID of my anxiety because it's just horrible
