If all your doctor could say was "don't stress out" then you might need to see a new doctor. Passing out can be very dangerous, and you need to get a handle on it.

Please consider getting a new doctor(s) and have a medical and mental work up so you can start to learn more about yourself. If your passing out is a reaction to stress, then learning the triggers for your stress can help you avoid passing out. Sometimes passing out has medical roots, in that case taking medication may be required.

But you won't know what to do until you get a good evaluation.

Not being able to drive and not being able to cook sounds very stressful so how are you suppose to " not stress out?" Lol. I agree with "Time to see a different doctor." I think starting a health journal that you can take with you to your doctor appointments might help you in solving your passing out problem. Buy a new tablet. On the front write my health journal. The next time you pass out write the date on a new page, write what you were doing, what you was thinking about, write down everything you ate and had to drink and what time for that day. Write down any medicines you took and the time. Write down everything you did that day. Take your health journal with you to your doctor appointments. Hopefully your pages will be blank. :)

I have never passed out form stress but I have hit and broken things and hurt myself in the process from it. Also have yelled at people a bit, and acted out of character you can say. That sounds very dangerous though and it seems like you need someone that you can talk to that understands better. It seems really unprofessional for a doctor to just respond with "Don't stress out so much" I can't stand hearing that from people around me, let alone a doctor. If it was possible to just "not stress out" I believe most of us would be doing just that and be a lot happier.

I've heard that can happen plus I know someone who pass out whenever they are extremely depressed or upset.

Eat foods that don't need to be cooked?

It is not normal to pass out from stress.

What I would do...
#1 - Get a new Dr.
#2 - After getting a new Dr...I would mention the "passing" out and suggest that I see a Neurologist.

It seems something is going on in your brain.....I have been diagnosed with 3 types of anxiety...and I have severe anxiety...and I have never passed out :(
