Hello everyone,

I just joined this amazing site a couple days ago to see if I could seek help/advice/comfort in my odd body problems (I assume it would be called anxiety. I have never been to a doctor for it.) BUT ANYWAYS... NOT THE POINT OF THIS POST TODAY!

I'm here to ask if anyone has experienced the crazy aftermath of passing out, and the madness of when you first wake up.

I am known in my family for having a history of passing out. I've been to several doctors and had several blood tests, they could never tell me what was wrong and would give me a piece of candy assuming it was low blood sugar. (Which I highly doubt. I truly think it is anxiety-related somehow.)

Anyways, as someone who passed out a ton as a kid and teenager, (I'm 20 now.) I can pretty much say I'm used to the feeling. But this morning brought a whole new feeling to it. It was scariest thing I've ever experienced. (besides being stuck in an elevator) Because after passing out, then suddenly waking up, I am still half dreaming, but I have no control. I am conscious, but I cannot stop the dream-like vision. One time when I woke up, my doctor was standing over me, and when I looked at his face, I saw it as the long white scream mask. It didn't necessarily scare me, but it was random & eventually faded.

This time was the worst one I've ever experienced though, this morning, I passed out alone on the bathroom floor. Just before I passed out, I flicked the switch that turns on the bathroom fan because usually a humming noise would calm me. But it didn't help and I ended up on the floor. I dreamed a really fast-pace fight sequence of some sort. So fast, that I can't even recall the movements of the characters in my dream. (I think I was out for a couple minutes. I'm not sure.) When I woke up, I felt my eyes were open, but everything was beyond blurred. It was like I was in another world. I could see the colors of the walls and ceiling, but that was it and the bathroom fan was the loudest thing I have ever heard in my life. It was so loud to me that I tried to scream and cover my ears, but I couldn't scream and when I lifted my hands to cover my ears I realized I was violently shaking and I couldn't see my hands no matter how much I waved them in front of my face, I just saw the motion blur of my hands, but not the hands themselves. I had absolutely no control. And I couldn't call for help for fear that me screaming would make me pass out again. So I laid there for a long time and finally managed to crawl all the way to the stairway and call for my mom, who happened to be drunk, but still managed to help me down the stairs somehow.

Needless to say, it was the scariest moment of passing out I've had. Ever. And I've had a LOT of passing out experiences.

The main point of this post is to ask if anyone else deals with this sort of thing? Have you had a really bad experience with it? do you remember your dreams that you have when you pass out?
