I relate to your condition and I have a similar cognitive interruption when and where severe anxiety kicks in. For me it includes a change of color and I sweat profusely. There is no hiding it.
I have always just powered through because I have found that once it passes I return fully. For me it is about some magic comfort level. Once I get there and it usually takes a little time(weeks not minutes or hours) this isn't an issue anymore. Interviews are the worst because I don't have that time and they are usually with people you don't know, which is at least part of the trigger.
I didn't want to use any medication to treat it, but I have helped to manage it. For me an exhaustive workout a few hours before the interview helps. The other thing is diet, in my case, if I focus on high-protein and low carb and that also seems to help.
These aren't recommendations, but I relate, and I thought it might be helpful to look at broad approach to managing it on your end.
- wavesounds 10y agoThanks for sharing, it's nice to know the same thing happens to other people.
- J-dawg 10y agoI get the sweating thing too. Powering through doesn't always work, it becomes so obvious that it's awkward not to mention it. It's had a major effect on my life and career.
