    Default Panicked when attempting to audition?

    Happy new years loves!!!

    So ive been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks. If anyone has had a panic attack before, you know how it feels to have your heart pound so hard and fast, feel dizzy, start to worry and the air feels like its lessening by the min. It feels like everything and nothing is happening to you all at once. My panic attacks come out of nowhere, I sometimes am afraid to go out because I dont know when and if it will happen. Well this week I planned on auditioning at a NYC strip club and I was a bit nervous on my way there but I felt fine besides the jitters. I stood at the door for about 20mins before getting the balls to finally walk in. I was so nervous once it was time for me to audition. I felt myself get hot and felt alittle dizzy. Before I could dance, I ran out of there. I really enjoy dancing and I really need the money. Dancing is an outlet for me. I am very comfortable with my body and being naked in front of others , thats not a problem. But i do have this panic attack issue. I dont understand it or why it happens. I wanted to know is there any dancers who have had panic attacks or anxiety problems? What has helped you overcome your panic attacks? Any advice for a newbie like me whos nervous but determined to dance ? Do you still deal with panic attacks or anxiety although you have been dancing for a while now? Going to see a proffesional about this problem is something I am going to do but I wanted to know if anyone has had this problem and what did you do about it? How do you live with it in your line of work?

    I have been dealing with this as well except my panic attacks used to just come every once and a while , but in March I guess my anxiety learned a new trick and it literally makes me think I'm peeing.
    Like not makes me feel like I need to pee, but I literally will believe I am peeing that moment. It's like the strangest shit happened to me at first at work and now it's Everytime I work and sometimes other places.
    Imagine feeling a panic attack start and then instead of just dizzy you also think you're peeing lol it makes me panic more.
    I never considered anxiety crippling but it is.
    Before the whole peeing thing I had a history of fainting when I had anxiety and I had at one point gotten a good handle of it

    I know you're asking for advice so idk why I needed to share my pee phobia. One thing I do is just be honest , but that's because I've fainted and had seizures from panic attacks so I know it's better to just tell someone around I'm a headcase and freaking out for no reason and usually try to keep the conversation lighthearted but in case something does happen someone will know to tell people that it's a panic attack. But also telling someone in a light hearted way makes you look at your feelings from another persepective and for me that can bring me back to reality a bit.
    Just know you're not alone.
    I swear this anxiety is the reason I'm not rich and always broke. Best luck to you. I know people really do overcome it completely and others learn to cope with the first signs and end it before it begins so just keep positive and try different things until you find what works for you.

    Panic attacks are something to be discussed with a medical professional.

    Wow!! I also have the same type of anxiety, which is probably why I quit dancing. I've been wanting to go back though and just work past it. I mean its helped me by just practicing putting myself in those places I would start to have it at. Hopefully maybe that helps you. good luck!
