Fighting this, need advice

[sdds]

hi all I am a bit new here,

Have suffered with SA for most of my life and struggle to overcome it. I am having a bit of a relapse after a successful last week facing my fears by cold calling companies looking for work. I am surprised how well I did it took quite a bit of effort.

I struggle with writing and spelling and this is a real problem for me because I get so anxious when writing in front of others. The pen shakes and I just cant think strait at all. If anyone has any tips on how to tackle this, great.

My anxiety is holding me back in my life but I feel that chatting on this forum will really help, I won't feel so alone.

Hiya sdds

How did the cold calling go? It can be very demoralising if all you get is 'no' and hang ups.

I am trying to think of the last time I wrote something in front of someone, I'm struggling! My spelling can be pretty naff at the best of times although I cant say I worry about it too much.

Suppose the best way to tackle the fear is to get help with your writing, evening class or something like that.

Good Luck

cold calling is pretty unnerving. I do it though whenever i'm job searching (which i hate Hate HATE). but its so much better than going store to store or company to company in person 8O
