Every year I panic before Yom Kippur. I never have an easy time fasting but Yom Kippur is the hardest. My Rov always tells me that if I feel like I am getting close to passing out, I should start with shiurim--but how am I supposed to judge that? I have never had to, but My anxiety shoots through the roof this time of year. Anyone else experience this?

I'm anxious in general and I say that I have pre-fasting anxiety. I'm actually not a bad faster and yet I get anxious before every fast. It sounds like you actually legitimately have a hard time so you at least have a reason to be anxious!
do you make sure to drink plenty of coconut water/gatorade a few days before the fast. I find that drinking enough in advance really helps.

Work on hydrating yourself in the lead up to the fast. THat doens' tmean downing gallons of water on friday. It means making sure you eat well, and drink a LOT the entire week, so that your body is truly hydrated.
Also remind yourself that most people can fast a lot longer than 25 hours with no serious consequences.

Why would it be difficult you find out the allowable shiur should the need arise? Is 1 ounce acceptable? If the rav says yes, then have a 1 oz cup ready as you know it's permitted. Hatslacha!
