Bed-wetting
Question:
Hello, Did any of you suffer from primary nocturnal enuresis (bed-wetting) after the age of 10? If so, were you shamed by a parent or made fun of by friends? Do you now experience nervousness/shakiness in front of people, meetings, or when the focus is turned onto you? I’d like to hear your experiences. In almost all situations where the attention is focused on me, my heart pounds and I shake. I get very nervous. Beta blockers have helped me a lot, but I would like to explore some of other people’s experiences. Thanks, s

Response:
Beta blockers (like Inderal) are used to slow down your heart rate. They work wonders for people who have stage fright. It is non-sedating. It simply keeps your heart from beating fast. It prevents adrenaline from doing its thing. So, it ends up breaking the mind-body cycle. "BlackJet76" <blackje…@aol.com> wrote in message

I know about beta blockers and bedwetting and nervousness. I’m not really into the synthetic solution unless you plan to make it a way of life. I got over bed wetting and I have taught kids to get up in front of people and survive (actors) the nervousness that they naturally feel. Actually I wasn’t able to enjoy singing in front of people for many years. And if you are nervous you can’t breathe properly and if you can’t breathe properly you can’t sing so well. It took many years to be comfortable. As far as I see, the solution is to find a little bit of courage — just enough to get up for 10 seconds. Then 30 seconds. Then a minute. Maybe an evening class in speaking? You have to do it for yourself. There are no magic spells. But don’t expect to get to the goal line with the first step. Make a lot of small goals. You don’t stop getting nervous. I don’t. But you learn that you can be nervous and still do the job. I think there are a lot of nervous speakers and not too many bedwetters. Maybe both are symptoms showing lack of confidence? I’m not a psychologist. But they can be conquered. It just takes a while. That’s why we generally have all these years to work with. I’m still learning 50 years later. Hang in there. Give yourself opportunities to conquer it. Cliffs are for jumping off. DK
