Sounds right: If you have to handle this soon, ask your doctor for a Rx to help for the day of the event. Don't rely on it for more than very rare events - rather, start some CBT therapy to learn skills to deal w/ the anxiety. A pill is fine to help in a tight spot - but knowledge will serve you thru life!
