I used to faint at least once a year because of my low blood pressure and the fact that I didn't eat a lot. a lot of the times, I would lose too much blood because of my periods which are the main reasons I would fain. And everytime I would faint, I would find myself in a dark space, alone, and helpless. Sometimes other things would happen as well. Like one time I heard a funeral music in my head when I was unconscious and found myself in a dark black space. The last time was also different. Like always, when I fainted, I found myself in the same dark space, but because it was my period that day, my stomach pain was extremely painful. And when I fainted and was in that dark space, I kept screaming and screaming in pain but nobody could hear me since I was unconcious. That scared me and it made me feel even more helpless after all my fainting incidents. And now I feel like I have this mentality that I'm too weak. Like I'm 4'9 and I weight 80Lb so it's pretty noticable that I'm small. And occasianally I've been told by others how small I am. Like they dont mean it in an insulting way, but often they say stuff like 'wow, you're so small'. And I feel like this idea of me being weak and feeling helpless has made me feel insecure around others. Now I'm more concious about my weight, and I do eat more often just so I could become healthier, but I still feel weak.
How do I stop my fainting experiences from making me feel insecure?
