I think i have been a blusher for several years.... but didn't really realise it was medical problem, i just thought it was me being weird. when i tryed to ask my mom about it she just said that its a faze im going through, and when i get older i will get over it. but based on some of the posts i have seen it has only gotten a lot worse for many people, to the point that affects how their whole life runs. im starting to become like that too, i avoid certain situations, going to places with lots of people, saying certain things, doing certain things. Presentations in particular are the worst. i start going beet red before the presentation has even started most times.
The worst part is that it doesn't really stop.... it can rage on for hours sometimes. it distracts me from what im doing or listening to because all i can think about is how red i must be and people noticing. if i have to do a presentation i put on a lot of foundation, concealer, etc that morning to help hide the blush, but i find it only hides about 20-30% of the fiery red glow, it is still pretty noticeable. sometimes the fear of blushing in front of everyone is so bad i feel nausated, really sweaty, or like i am about to pass out.
i feel rather hopeless, sometimes i wish i could just wear a mask everyday. any advice would be greatly appreciated! also if anyone could share a link to a hypnosis session, on youtube or something, that would be great too. i was thinking of giving that a try.
