It's amazing to read everyone's stories. I'm in the same boat. I get nervous and turn beet red in meetings for no particular reason. It doesn't matter if it's a small group or larger group. Even 1 on 1 for no reason at all I can turn red. It's made my boss and his boss uncomfortable to ask me anything. I've had this problem since high school, and somehow have dealt with it. I've changed jobs a number of times, and mostly related to this condition. I finally have a job I really love and I'm afraid if I don't figure out what to do about it soon it's going hurt my changes to move up. I just started taking Zoloft. I had been taking klonopin as needed, with some success, but you can't always plan when something will make you turn red. I'm also going to try hypnosis. I figure between all of these something has to work soon! I have a 13 year old daughter that I believe hasthe same problem, so I need to figure out something for me, so I can help her. If anyone has any success stories I'd love to hear them. Thanks
