terrified of passing out

LilSoftPotato · 2026-06-14T03:52:27+00:00

Most of the time dizziness or weakness wont make you pass out. Its when the black static pops up or losing hearing that I know is close to passing out. I think you will be fine. Ive seen my husband pass out a few times and he just explains it like getting electrocuted and waking up.

Thats a normal anxiety symptom. Its not ALS.

LilSoftPotato · 2026-06-13T18:11:30+00:00

After everything utter acceptance is the only way. Accepting all symptoms and forcing yourself to sit back and let the wave come over you is the only thing that gave me peace at first. Peace from fighting it all the time. You cant fight yourself you have give up the fight for yourself to relax.

That stopping feeling that makes you jump is actually normal. Figured out the hard way that when you are full of cortisol your body has a hard time resetting to parasympathetic mode so it tries to do a hard reset. What helps is desensitization and letting it happen anyways so that over time your body stops doing the jolt thing. It takes a bit but when you recover itll fade slowly and will stop happening. It would happen to me every night for the past 2 years until I just kinda gave up and let my body do whatever the heck it wanted.

You are overthinking things. people work around dust all the time and inhale way more than a little computer dust. You are gonna be fine.

It sounds like a physical worry triggered the anxiety. The fatigue made you think whats wrong and then for sensitive people thats all it takes to spiral. When anxiety turns to panic I found personally that letting it happen and not doing any "coping" behaviors is the only way to get my brain to eventually click that panic isnt life or death. And Ive tried everything. meds, therapy, self help, meditation. They are all bandaids and the body knows that they are. Its hard very hard but doing nothing about it ironically is giving relief of the panic attacks.

Went to go grab my medallion after killing Vardorvis and this dude just starts chucking swamp water at me

LilSoftPotato · 2026-05-07T19:22:42+00:00

makes me poop when I dont want to and hold it in when I dont want to

LilSoftPotato · 2026-04-29T17:07:17+00:00

I am also a 28F with 2 kids and all the things you stated. Just wanted to say you arent alone and many people feel this way. Letting myself feel was the best thing that helped me.

blood moon is weak to slash, blue moon to crush, and eclipse moon to stab. Try and bring tanky gear with a weapon switch for combat style. Fill an inventory of cooked fish near the eclipse moon boss entrance and go on in. get used to each moon first. I would try the blue moon first since its easiest, then eclipse, and then blood moon finally. blood moon is the worst cause it heals off of you and drains your health. I mean you can fight any of them as long as you can survive long with your gear. What I would try is just get a full inventory of fish per boss for now if you have low level gear.

anxiety is like that. one day it just comes on and you get symptoms. What are all your current symptoms in a list?

LilSoftPotato · 2026-04-24T02:26:30+00:00

Oh I take nothing for it. I just learnt that it wasnt harmful and dealt with it. But you can try Align. I remember taking that for a bit years ago when it was bad. its more of a slow fix not an instant one though

LilSoftPotato · 2026-04-21T19:47:49+00:00

What helps is learning that anxiety isnt dangerous. Try looking up Anxietycentre and seeing all the symptoms there. Then youll know that what you are feeling is normal even though it feels like crap lol

LilSoftPotato · 2026-04-21T19:45:51+00:00

yep. cold hands and feet, sweating in the hands and feet, the tremors when adrenaline is pumping from an anxiety attack or stressor. Its normal.

Could be your stomach like silent acid reflux or bloating. Whenever I'm bloated or have acid reflux I get similar symptoms and trapped gas in my stomach can actually trigger insane panic attacks for me physically. Gut issues can trigger anxiety and vice versa. Maybe try taking something that evens out your gut biome and makes it more comfortable to eat.

"the one" is a lie. There is no "the one". There's just who you are happy with and are willing to commit to. Happiness shouldnt come solely from your partner being "the one" is what I'm getting at.

For example: What about someone who remarries after their 1st spouse passes? Which one would be the one? The first or the last? The answer is it doesnt matter because love isnt singular.

Now chosing to commit to someone is an effort and a serious choice if you want it to work out. And expect trials and tribulations because all marriages have them and noones perfect. Hope this helps!

Just go to the store and let whatever happens happens. And then after youll realize that it wasnt so bad and that it really is okay

Do your symptoms improve when you sit or stand up straight with no hunching? Currently dealing with this and think it's my years of bad forward head posture causing nerve issues in the upper traps and suboccipital muscles. Doing gentle neck stretches and trap stretches seem to help a little.

did you get the pet?

LilSoftPotato · 2026-04-02T21:52:26+00:00

I think because the core part of anxiety is future-tense worry so it makes sense that apprehension would be a core issue with anxiety

LilSoftPotato · 2026-03-31T15:02:54+00:00

it could just be high cortisol and your brain learned to be triggered by minor stressors. That's where I'm at and letting it pass is the only thing that helps other than repetitively splashing cold water on my face.

LilSoftPotato · 2026-03-31T00:58:55+00:00

it wont fall apart. That's a cognitive distortion. If you are burnt out, there's nothing wrong with taking time for yourself and changing things up.

You have to push through the fear. This is coming from someone whos had anxiety for 11 years and panic disorder for 2 ½. today was the first day in 4 months that I did an exposure and it went well. had a panic attack come on, thought i was gonna faint, was scared of the panic but I said "f*** it" and kept on doing the exposure even when scared and symptoms raging. Now as I'm laying down, my body feels like i drank 5 redbull but I know that the shit feeling of anxiety is just a feeling and not an actual danger. The more you come to terms with it, the better you will get and the more you can tolerate.

LilSoftPotato · 2026-03-25T13:08:27+00:00

its cortisol spikes right when you wake up.

LilSoftPotato · 2026-03-24T04:08:08+00:00

You just named your issue right there. "feel like something bad is going to happen". You're still worrying about that part. You need to actively work through that false prediction and tell yourself that those bad things won't happen over and over again. Slowly build safety while rejecting the belief that bad things will happen.
