Sheer The Thought?

How can I fulfill my heart’s desire when sheer the thought of facing the audience intimidates me?

Is this sentence grammatically correct? I don't understand the bolded phrase.

Sheer means "Complete or Absolute".

Does this sentence imply this --> How can I fulfill my heart’s desire when nothing other than the thought of facing the audience intimidates me?

According to Oxford Dictionaries, "Sheer" means "Nothing other than" but I am still confused. Please, clarify. Is it suitable to use sheer in the given sentence?
