Interviews make my brain stop working

Getting an interview should feel like good news, but social anxiety makes me dread every single one. I recently had an online interview and barely slept beforehand. A few minutes before it started I was gagging from anxiety. During the call I barely talked, had awkward silences where nobody said anything for several seconds and kept giving answers that made absolutely no sense. My brain basically went into survival mode. The rejection came the next day and I spent hours hating myself for how badly I handled it. I know I could do the actual job, but interviews make me look completely incompetent. How the hell do you fix this?
