Hello everyone,

I was just curious who here has the fear of passing out? I have this fear, and it controls my life, I have never passed out, but I am obsessed with it, I hate feeling this way. I want my old life back, when I was carefree and didnt OVER think everything. Now I worry about everything, and to top it off I have OCD about alot of things. I wondered who here has issues with depersonalization? That sure can be scary. I am looking forward to hearing from anyone. I have the CDS and I am going to start listening to them, I just have to get my mind focused on that, instead of dwelling on everything else, which sounds alot easier to TYPE rather than DO it. Thanks for reading my post

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

It's like we're related or something!! That has been my number 1 fear for 3 years! I'm not so worried about it anymore though! But I had never passed out before I was just so afraid of it! To this day, I have never passed out and I found out that it is a pretty rare thing to do! Don't worry about it anymore because you will probably never do it!
Sincerely,
