Hello, I am new on here and have had years of experience with panic/anxiety. I tend to start thinking about not feeling well and it goes downhill from there! Unfortunately, I fainted when I was nine years old and its been hard ever since. I would love to share, and help others as well as myself with support. I don't have anyone that understands how this can be. I would like to share things I know and learn.

I use to get panic attacks really bad and still do when i am really stressed,which is always lately.Its no fun to feel that way and its funny because when I first starting getting them,fainting was my biggest fear!Good Luck!!!!!

I'm glad you've found us! I have passed out, too, and I know how scary that can be

i also passed out when i was 12 & never thought anything of it for years. then when i started to get panic attacks 14 years ago, i almost passed out in a store with my young son. from then on it was all downhill. now i refuse to drive alone b/c that is one of my biggest fears.

So glad you wrote me. I think the passing out thing is like a loss of control and it is so scarey. I definitely feel the same when driving, unfortunately, I have to work and so it makes it difficult. I have a young daughter (5 years old) and I don't want to hold back for her. I try to keep faith and prove to myself that things will be ok while I am driving. Have you ever tried driving short distances to see if that helps. I have found that confidence plays a role in this, for me anyway. Wendy
