Extreme public speaking phobia

Okay so I've been in highschool for 3 years, in my 4th, and over all the presentations I've done, I still can't do a presentation. I get extreme anxiety, sweaty hands and my face flushes RED. its terrible, even if I just have to go up to answer a question, or act out a section in Macbeth or something I can't do it. I feel like everyone is looking at me, and i get so nervous that I just want to run out of the classroom. I sweat like crazy, fiddle with my hair like crazy, and usually i will get so nervous that i just read directly of of my notes or powerpoint. I dont look up from my reading either, because i'm too scared to look at the audience. I hate this phobia, because I know that I can do this. I just get too nervous, and its really embarrassing and I dread any presentation EVER assigned to me. Its pretty terrible. any suggestions? would be nice.

Embarrasing Shaky voice

Embarrasing Shaky voice!!!! arghhhh

Public speaking is something I have dreaded since I was a child. Every time we had to give speeches in class I would pull a sicky, some days I there was no way out of it and the teacher would pick me to read things out in front of the class, this is what happens to me ...my heart starts to pound so fast I feel like its going to explode and then about 15 seconds into reading my voice starts getting really shaky and then I feel like I cant breathe properly, sometimes I cant get through the article I am reading because my breathing and voice are just so out of control. Its the most embarrasing thing hence the reason I have tried to avoid it my whole life. I am at the stage where I know I need to overcome this fear. Is there anyone else out there with similar experiences?

 
controlled groups

Where I struggle most, moreso than getting on stage and talking to an audience, is in a controlled group, of 10-20 people, where I need to introduce myself, talk about myself, and explain particular ideas relevant to the discussion the group is having. I am getting ready to start the interviewing process where I will be talking to multiple people in the room at any given time, including board of directors. While I don't fear that now, when presented with the situation I can already see from past experience getting nervous, fumbling my words, feeling hot flashes, and coming across without the confidence that I do have about myself. Suggestions?
