    Feel Like fainting. racing thoughts :P /

    I HATE this feeling. I feel like I will faint. I become dizzy all of a sudden and I start becoming aware of everything, how I feel, any discomforts, what I'm thinking, will somthing happen? It usually happens at work. I'm a substitute teacher. I HATE this feeling.

    Do you sometimes almost fall over like a head rush and have to hold on to something or have any head pressure or tension in the front of head or around your head.... If so.... I'm on the same boat.... Speaking of boat do you sometimes feel like your on one... Like either your head or the ground is shifting?..... Welcome to anxiety....

    I have the same problem at work or going to stores and driving. Dizzy and very lightheaded I called in sick or gone home a lot because of this. I was blaming it on my sinus but I know this is anxiety related

    Something as little as a head rush sure can get the cycle started

    The thoughts of "why " go racing through your head and you never ever decide that it was caused by getting up too quickly

    You always land on the heart attack or brain aneurism, because really, what else could it be?

    Then here we go again. Panic and adrenaline go racing through your body

    Then you calm down a little and the panic stops but now you start to worry when it will happen again so now you start to feel physically ill

    Now you can start the whole cycle over again. Yeah!!!!

    I miss the days of being dizzy just meant I smoked too much weed.
