“Hello, about 2 years ago I pierced my finger with a staple while opening a package and fainted at home. Ever since then I have had a chronic fear of fainting again.
It’s whenever I go out in public the consistent thoughts of ‘I hope I dont pass out’ just play through my head like a tape recorder and eventually I just panic and have to go sit down to calm down, and get a grip on reality that it’s not real and that I physically have no reason whatsoever that I would pass out.
I truly believe that I won’t pass out and the thoughts are irrational and also its not really ME thinking this stuff but my mind running wild and its almost like a habit to think this way. I try to live in the present moment but I just feel sometimes that its so hard to break from these irrational thoughts and control my mind.
What would you suggest I do to finally take control of this thought and eliminate it for good?
Thank you so much!!!”

Although I believe that meditation will definitely help me along the way, I’ve begun to think that one think I really need to cut back on is alcohol.
It’s incredible how it can make you feel great at night after a few drinks, but then you wake up at 2-3 in the morning with this acute anxiety for no reason at all! And of course, when combined with stress, it all goes to hell.
Anyway, just thought I’d pass that along. Thanks for the note.”
