I lived through this exact same thing! I worked in a transportation job that required constant 2 way radio communication with dispatch and the first several months I did fine by first taking a deep breath and speaking slowly. Then out of nowhere this severe anxiety reared its ugly head and I'd start blocking as soon as I pressed the transmit button. Had to quit the job which was fairly lucrative and I enjoyed because of it. This crap is a life destroyer.
