Theater anxiety
Hello, I've been doing theatre for awhile now and usually I like to perform. However I'm in a show that gives me so much anxiety to the point where I can't function on a daily basis. I'm not comfortable w my role at all, especially screaming on stage. This gives me terrible anxiety and I just want it to be over so I can get on w my life. I feel nauseous and I cry at the drop of a hat. I hardly eat as well. I just want some support because this is really hard and I am tired and drained. Thank you all
Oh wow, that sounds rough. Sorry to hear about the circumstance. Here is a creative idea I just thought of, could you think of a funny parody of the play maybe? Might be hard depending on the play but I know someone made humorous versions of like pride and prejudice and other stories. Maybe try and invent funny/ridiculous subplots for the characters and events. I am sorry for the situation, I hope you can turn it into something more enjoyable, maybe your peers can help you make an inside joke about it.
