Why does my body and mind get this nervous rush throughout my whole body in situations like this?

You're going about it all wrong. You will be terminated if you keep up with it, because employers do not like employees who create problems. If you discussed it with your boss, and he said it's correct, that's it. Don't keep bugging him. Accept it or find a new place to work.

So don't call him, you already spoke to him, just report him

You are nervous and you are suffering from your anxiety. Go see a counsellor who may be able to assist you in how you should handle these issues and how to curb your anxiety and nervousness in such situations.

Forget arguing with a former employer-if you truly have proof that you were underpaid, put together your evidence and report the company to your state labor board. Guess what? Most people have nervousness and at least some anxiety especially when it comes to direct confrontation. Grow a set, push past it and stop using it as an excuse. I'm tired of everyone here claiming anxiety and trying to use it a crutch. These are the people who never are successful at life.
