I suffer like this.

Fear of passing out and fear of dying. Thr doctors just look at you while you self destruct, it's hard from them to realise the hardness it has on you.

I also have this fear too. And so scared for my children. I have finally plucked up the courage to go back to the doctor on Tuesday of next week. I find it very awkward to talk about. How does everybody else say how they are feeling?! Do you just come out and say it..... I'm so worried I can't even write about it properly as I am too afraid to actually read the words...
