becomingmyself

Hey guys. I'm a blusher and a sweater. I was going to drop out of college so many times in the recent past... it's becoming so difficult to continue. And yet I keep going! I didn't know how I was going to face another semester, but I applied for a scholarship anyways and to my delight/horror I got the scholarship. That just locked me into a year of free school and a myriad of nerve-racking situations. I unfortunately have a couple of professors who are just... GREAT. They tease me incessantly about the blushing and it's gotten to the point that I have panic attacks upon seeing them! These two male professors happen to be friends too, and I ran into them together a little while back. I was so nervous I was going to turn red in front of both of them! I felt like I was going to pass out and all my words came out all fumbled. I didn't turn red, but it was almost just as embarrassing.
Not only that, but I had another strange experience when I was in class. My professor put me on the spot and asked me a couple of questions. And instead of simply turning red, I felt blood rush up my neck and into the back of my head... throbbing heat with every heart beat. The heat slowly began to spread into my face, under my eyes and then down into my cheeks. Usually I just flush really bad, go beet red and then it goes away. But this time I knew it wouldn't. I answered all his questions the best I could while all this was happening and then he finally turned to another student. My face filled with the heat and it just stayed in my face for another 2 hours.
So anyways, those are my recent horror stories. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips that help? I think this is the best place to ask since everyone who has experienced it has different ways of dealing with it. I usually take ice water with me to class and I'm taking 5-htp and something called "Asian Flush Formula" (same ingredients as Eredicane but half the price!). These all have helped so so much... I'm 60-70% better than I was last year. Even last spring. So I know I'm doing something right. But there's just those few times I have absolutely no control...
