What i do (like other's said) is start with the beam low then crank it up a little and do one, a little higher and do another one...and higher...until the beam is at it's regular hight...pretty much the same as the mat thing. Just remember to be Confident! And just keep looking for the beam when your going back...
This prob sounds stupid but i when im scared to do frontwalkovers on beam i just tell myself i can do it, stay confident, STAY TIGHT, and go! works for me..

GOOD LUCK

just think: whats the worst thing that could possibly happen? what exactly are you scared of? because when you think about it, its usually a simple thing. this really helped my with connecting my backhandsprings. also, you could ask a coach do just stand there, without spotting. then even if something happened they could catch you.

good luck!

What Should I do. Do you have any advise for me?
do atleast 200 more on the low then stack mats under high beam and go from there

I have the same exact problem with backhandsprings =/
What I do to make myself throw it is to visualize the skill while taking deep a breath then I climb up on the beam, give my self 15 seconds to throw, and if I don't, I just go back to medium beam, stick a couple, then go back up to high beam and repeat the process until I throw.
