Try to get a good nights sleep (go to bed now), avoid any stimulants like coffee or sugar, and if you can drink some chamomile or sleepy time tea. Some herbal teas have a calming effect that may help take the edge off.
Remember, people will be forgiving of your anxiety and your emotions in general. This must be a difficult time for you, especially to be giving a eulogy at such a young age. Take it easy on yourself and others will too.
Take care.
I really don't know much about this kind of stuff. I would say practice breathing in and out and practice the speach and see how it goes.
if panic attacks trigger after thing about having one take ur mine off it and just look up methods on the net
just take lots of deep breaths and remember that the focus isn't on you; it is on the departed. you are there to pay respects and support the family left behind... keep breathing and don't think of it as an audition for steven spielberg... it isn't. just be yourself... relax and try to convey your thoughts about the departed, not your own emotions.
good luck.
if you really gotta do a eulogy get off the computer relax and get some sleep. i know youre only 15 but that's a pretty grown up thing to have to do. think your folks would let you have a little wine to relax for bed? maybe a glass tomorrow and make sure you have a light lunch, don't want to be hungry or malnurished. try to be as comfortable as possible and it wil all turn out o.k. hang tough!
be with the God , actually he is only one can helping you , also be a smart
I'm no doctor, but when i'm stressed i go for walks, widdle sticks, and read a book. If you feel stressed after these talk to someone close to you about the eulogy sometimes just talking about things out loud to someone will show you how little something is compared to your whole life ahead of you. Just so you know i'm fifteen to but i don't have some disorder. Personally i think I've got a couple screws loose, just don't tell anyone they think i'm "creative".
YOU SHOULD HAVE TALKED TO A DOCTOR ABOUT IT. HE/SHE COULD HAVE GIVEN YOU SOMETHING. I WENT TO A FUNERAL ONCE ON A VALIUM TABLET..... IT WAS GREAT.... NO EMOTION WHAT SO EVER.
Is someone making you do the eulogy?? If not you dont have to do it. Whoever passed knows you loved them, and this is all too much for you especially at 15. They would rather you be happy with peace of mind than worrying about a speech. Think about that, what they would want is much more important than what someone is trying to make you do. Follow your instinct, but if I were you I would just back out.
If you start to panic, put your head down and try to hannel your panic into shaking. No one will notice - they will think you are crying.
NOBODY can get through a eulogy without a shaking voice and sobbing.
Go to bed and get some rest.

See panic attacks, and social anxiety, in sections 8, and 9, at http://www.ezy-build.net/. (.net.nz/~shaneris) [Type, and enter the following URL, in the usual manner: h t t p : / / w w w . e z y - b u i l d . n e t . n z / ~ s h a n e r i s ] You could try Valerian root (supermarket/pharmacy), or nettle tea (health food stores).
I know what it's like, dear. You will get through the eulogy panic or no panic. Remember that you are always safe.
No one needs to go through panic attacks. Have your parents take you to your doctor. There are some very good medications that work, and also cognitive-behavior therapy is effective for panic disorder.
