Help please! I keep choking up and I have no idea how to prevent this from happening. It'so embarrassing! Please help?

Whenever I read out an essay in this certain class, I choke up. Its happened twice.

The first time it was a really long essay. In the middle I noticed that my essay was ott with statistical facts and I began to get self conscious. My heart started pumping and my heart rate started interfering with my words, it made them kind of "hop" and you could hear my heart beat from my voice. I sounded like I was getting emotional and eventually I thought "Awh f*ck this, I might as wel say I feel sick" and I did and I got to go outside for some air.

The second time it was a really short essay but after only about three sentences it happened again and I had to say "I can't do this, I don't know whats happening" I felt so embarrassed like I was some kind of freak with serious issues.

I really need to sort this out, I can't go on like this. I don't get asked questions anymore because everyone thinks I'll choke up. I hate it because I know I am deliberately avoided and people feel sorry for me. I need help please.

This also never happens in any other class. In other classes I read with complete confidence.

Practice giving speechess in front of a mirror and minimize hand gestures. After you've became fairly confident with your ability to give speeches, try it out in front of family or friends (could be just one person). If you find yourself choking just tell yourself "hey it's just *insert friend's name*. It's no big deal, no need to get nervous." Practice as many times as you need to be stutter free and then try asking a question in class or try to answer a question and try to keep it short and clear. Don't complicate too much.
And that's abouf it. May the odds be ever in your favor! ;)

It would take months of Toastmasters ( https://www.toastmasters.org/ ) to fix this.

Deep breathe its just your body being insecure to judgment. If the feeling comes agains take deep breaths and DONT panic.
