Social anxiety and voice

I'll write here because I don't know where else asking this =(

I have social anxiety and I don't speak very often. When I do, I always feel like something is something is constraining my voice, as If I have got a lump in my throat. My voice is really soft, it has been like that for years and I accepted it, but it has recently become even weirder. I'll try to explain it better: my throat feels constricted
and I need to force my voice/words out every time I speak; my voice doesn't have clarity, it's nasal and it doesn't feel like it's 'me'. Everything gets worse during viva exams, of course. I start stuttering, my voice becomes even quieter, shaky... (I get panic attacks, shivering, etc XD)

Do you know which specific voice exercises could help me? =( It's getting to a point that I'm hating my voice and I talk even less TvT

I wish i could help you, but im more or less like you. Even i did practiced say what i want to say, when its time, its either i would say the opposites thing or most of the time nothing come out at all. Its kinda a big problem since i already working. I think my boss must be thinking if i was listening to her or not since im dont give respond. Not like i dont want to, but its all stuck in my head. Nothing come out. I couldnt even go buy food through drive-thru. Everyday i rush home to eat during my lunch break. Not even once i ate outside or by myself since i started working 2 years ago.My mom was very worried every time she and my dad need to go somewhere and leave me alone. She worried i only eat instant noodle because i couldnt go out buy food by myself. Pathetic and here i am being call anti-social.
