@jessiejlover2221 - this is actually very common problem. The solution to this is to keep trying your floating exercises or/and getting yourself submerged underwater despite the horrible feelingof falling. If you reason it rationally, there is no way you can fall if you take a breath as the water will support you while your aired filled lungs act as a baloon floating on top of the water, so you will not sink. If you feel you are going to fall on your head forward, just keep fighting the feeling.
