The Whole World is Spinning

You know that feeling when your whole world is spinning? Well, multiply that by a thousand.

I've been hit with this crazy triple threat - vertigo, Meniere's disease, and migraine all at once. It's like my body decided to throw the worst possible party, and I wasn't even invited. Imagine feeling like you're constantly on a boat in rough seas, except you're just lying in your bed, trying to make sense of which way is up.

The vertigo has been so bad that even looking at my phone was impossible until today. Think about that - something we all do mindlessly hundreds of times a day became this enormous challenge. Every time I'd try to focus, the world would start doing somersaults.

I ended up in the hospital, hoping they could help break this vicious cycle. They did help somewhat, but let me tell you, it's been a humbling experience. I've been completely bed-ridden, and the simplest tasks feel like complete spin. Even sitting up is an adventure - and not the fun kind.

One of the hardest parts? Not being able to work. I'm someone who's usually always on the go, always productive, but this experience has forced me to learn something valuable - sometimes you have to let go. You have to accept that your body is telling you to stop, and that's okay.

This morning, got my first physiotherapy session. It feels like a small step forward, but honestly, I'm clinging to any progress I can get. The constant sensation of being on a rocking boat is still there, making everything feel uncertain and wobbly.

Through all of this, I'm learning to be patient with myself. It's not easy when your world is literally spinning out of control, but sometimes life puts you in these situations to teach you something. Maybe it's about slowing down, maybe it's about accepting help, or maybe it's just about understanding that we're not always in control.

Here's hoping the physio is the beginning of getting this under control. Because seriously, I've had enough of living in this dizzy bubble. But until then, I'm taking it one wobbly step at a time.
