Hi Have faith!

I haven't had the fear of passing out, except a year ago when I thought something like that was going to happen to me and then it turned into my first full blown panic attack ever!

So I then became afraid of this feeling of being scared! So I don't know if they go hand in hand, but pretty much my life got scary!

Its taken a year to calm down and reassess things and without anti-depressants. I think part of what happened was me weaning off of antidepressants and getting some surprises from family members, plus aging. So this pretty much put me into a "what if thinking" world and I've become very anxious over things in the future or things in general, so I guess that is why my Psychologist tells me I have GAD, where in the past I've been depressed.
Whatever it is...it isn't fun...I feel a lot like I've lost control of things...but taking baby steps to get some of it back, but it is painful. I've pretty felt that my heart has been broken...hard to tell if it is all me...or truly the family members and their personalities not meshing with mine that the anti-depressants were masking.
Anyway, its a long story...somewhere on StressCenter.com. Some things will work themselves out with time...I'm hoping. Paislee
