If you feel you cannot do it then don't do it. There is no reason to torture yourself psychologically and physically if its not something you want to do.

I see a lot people writing comments about how to improve your speaking skills (which could be something good to do but...) while ignoring the fact you're basically worried about breaking down again from the pressure.

Please take care of your basic needs and mental stability before worrying about satisfying others. If you feel you can do it, give it a shot. If not, save yourself (and the organizers) grief and bow out now.

Please be well and take care of yourself.

>before worrying about satisfying others Exactly. Sounds like you got sucked in to something. Ask yourself if this is something you want to do or something someone told you you should do.

Edit: In case you want to learn more about 'traps' one can fall into, I suggest this book: http://www.amazon.com/How-Found-Freedom-Unfree-World/dp/0965...
