Overcoming fear of performing music?
Thursday, December 18th, 2008 | Anxiety Treatment | 4 Comments
If formal performance opportunities are not an option, what is the next best way for me to overcome my fear of performing music for people who are not my immediate family? Of course, I do fine when in the comfort and privacy of my own home, but as soon as people are actively listening to me play, I have memory lapses, my hands shake, and I make mistakes left and right.
I wish I could have more confidence or “loosen” it up a bit, but all my life, I have never been very successful at sharing my music with others, and I would really like to overcome this fear (which can be a pretty big shortcoming for a musician).
Any advice? Thanks.

I’m starting to think that I might be depressed. I just get really, really down for no reason. I’ve been having really serious thoughts about committing, well.. you know. I know I need help, but I’d like to be a little more informed.
What signs do people exhibit when they are depressed? Please be as detailed as possible.

I’ve been on Ortho-TriCycline for 4 years, and as of 5-6 months ago I began having formless anxiety a few days before and a few days during my period. Could it have anything to do with my current birth control, and can anyone recommend a different method that might decrease the anxiety?
i did start birth control because i was passing out from cramps, all you abstinence people.
