I know that it's been awhile since this has been posted, but I'm just in my first year of nursing now and have been having the exact same thing! I have been through some anxiety and panic disorder in the past, and it's centered around my fear of passing out. It's not that I'm prone to passing out, it just is a major fear that triggers panic attacks (which is kind of ironic because by panicking it stops the possibility of passing out). Even just sitting in the class looking at pictures of ulcers on the projector gets me, because I 'feel' that, that is a situation where people may pass out, so I become desperately afraid of that happening, and so forth. I hope your past few years have gone well and I'm curious to how it went and if you have any tips! Because I refuse to let this stop me from becoming a nurse, I've come too far to stop now. Thanks!
