Okay. So whenever somebody talks about something gross or disgusting, or if i see something, i start to feel dizzy as if i am going to pass out. I never have passed out, but i have came very close. I know that this fear is very irrational and i really want to learn how to get over it, since i am considering a career in the medical field. What techniques can i use to help me get through these panic attacks or to help me not freak out in the first place?

Well there are different techniques. For some it helps to take deep breaths, or distract yourself from whatever makes you feel the way you do. Think of something that you enjoy, something that makes you feel good (i.e. shopping, going out with friends, horsebackriding etc.)
But in the long run, you might wanna try to get to the bottom of those panic attacks. Why do certain things make you feel that way. Is there a connection with a possible trauma in the past?
Good luck sweety!!
As soon as you feel dizzy, sit down and take deep breathes.
You have to get used to it, theres nothing that can get rid of it in a snap. The more you see it, the more used to it you’ll be. For example if you see blood/guts just remember that it’s natural and everyone has it. They all play important roles in our daily lives so there’s nothing to be grossed out about.
