obsessive compulsive disorder

How debilitating it is to lose your voice to your anxiety in front of people. Clearly there’s something the matter but how do you tell people you’re drowning?
"I was terrified. I thought people were going to tell me I was crazy."
'The symptoms become frustrating and may lead to total avoidance of anxiety provoking situations or cues.'
'I constantly obsessed about whether I should break up with my partner.'
