For the longest time I have been trying to imagine ways to overcome something that started back when I was in my teens.
The problem was my throat would feel like it's closing up every time I sang. This really hindered my abilities and I could never progress further. I felt like a failure.
Now a days, when I am in my car and no one can see me I might try to sing again. However, I find that my throat immediately starts to close up if I sing the wrong note or if I am off key, and it will close up even if I think about singing (like right now).
Then, a few months ago I noticed that my throat started to do this again. It starts to affect me now when I speak in public. I am not talking about public speaking but just in a group of friends, on a date, asserting myself when wrong, etc …
I am sure it is all due to me anxiety issues. However, I just don’t want to rely on meds to overcome this. I am looking for positive ideas that I can implement. I want to have fun again.
