As someone with migraine and social anxiety, you could have been having an attack of both at the same time. Or either / or. For me it could be the lack of fresh air in the crowded room that triggered a migraine, or, feeling overwhelmed by so many people. It’s complicated! Good luck on your self awareness journey. Linda x

I am glad you shared this...I am going through something similar, yet to point out what it is. I learnt driving... started the same but now I get extremely anxious while trying to do so. This is as strong as having compelled me to not to drive at all. I have stopped enjoying any road trips... something has dug out my inner fears...

First, I'm glad you're okay. Second, thank you for sharing your experience about anxiety. Third, I'm glad you had friends, family, and a good counselor to help you through the scary experience. Anxiety is a global pandemic -- impacting people in lots of different ways. Your a "mover and shaker," making a difference in new realms, including the LinkedIn space. Lots of folks rooting for your success -- including the "newness factor."

Sharing what happens helps to normalize the same thing for others. You are not alone.
