Anxiety and fear of fainting.

[TrippyMcGuire762]

I feel like I'm gonna pass out right now. I know my anxitey gets worse when I don't sleep, and I didn't last night, but this fear of fainting is scaring me, I just keep thinking its gonna happen. I had to go out to the mall, and had my mother drive me. On the way there, I started getting that feeling. Now driving back, its getting worse. It doesn't help that I've been experiencing weird body twitches and a pain in the right side of my head thats lasted for over a week habe reconvinced me I have a tumor either. Nobody will check it out either as they think its anxiety

I get the fainting feeling alot if I'm in a public place I start to get dizzy and really hot then feel sick to my stomach I have gad agoraphobia and slight depression I know it's my anxiety but it's so hard to control and I hate to say it but I've been avoiding doing things because I'm so scared of having a panic attack and making a fool of myself

blackcat64013, I only wish I had seen this site during the 5 years I was house bound. It would have cut the time in half by having a plan and understanding what agoraphobia was all about. Thank you for sharing.. xx

Hi Agora,

I know I have been incredibly lucky to have a psychologist who is always researching for the best sites to help him in his work with patients. He is always looking for new tools to put in my toolkit.

Hi TrippyMcGuire762 since an hour has passed since you posted this, I was wondering how you are feeling right now?

A bit. Weird feeling in the right side of my face around the eye, and my body still feels twitchy though.
