Ugh i dont really know where to put this so i'm going to put this here! 
Just wanted to chat about something with you all..
I'm a student social worker in training, and atm im having to have direct observations on my assessments with clients. I used to have a major social phobia thing which i think was linked to my negativity about my weight, and remnants of this still exist.
For my last observation i got so nervous and panicky that i nearly screwed the whole thing up just because i was thinking about what my observer was thinking and if i looked like a complete twat etc.
Just wondered if anyone out there has had similar experiences with stuff like that and how to combat them?
How do you make yourself feel confident about yourself when otherwise you'd be feeling so sick with nerves/worry?
also..do many of you find that accepting yourself is like one step forward and two steps back? i felt so confident a month or so ago when i first started coming here and now it has completely dwindled and i feel like going back into hiding. How do you get over that feeling?
sorry if this is a stupid post..just need a bit of support from someone i think..
