has anyone ever fainted after hearing about a severely mentally ill person? an acquaintance of mine was telling me about his social work with some schizo-types, and five minutes after the conversation i passed out.
i'm guessing that i overly empathize with these types and develop a fear of going nuts. anyone ever faint due to a fear of losing one's mind?
i suppose low blood sugar and/or dehydration could've been a factor (i'd just finished walking a round of golf).
but i also almost fainted and went to an emergency room the day after seeing The Aviator and watching the portrayal of Howard Hughes.
my family has a trend towards fainting at the sight of blood, but this is ridiculous. anyone experience this? any suggestions on how to get over this?
