So I've been granted some relief from all the stress by re-waching Buffy (is there anything that show can't do?), but I got up this morning with dizziness. WTF? It didn't go away the whole day and I soon realized that it was yet another stress-related ailment, probably related to lack of sleep, but most likely not, since I have had insomnia without it. I had many stress-ailments during my dissertation writing/defense, all of which magically disappeared directly after, but my new job has brought some of that back, not to mention all the cult/family shit I've put up with lately.
So as I was going about my day, I remembered how in fourth grade we had to put on blindfolds and pretend we were born blind. This was to teach about how others have to deal with not being able to see. Today, experiencing this dizziness has given me some more "insight" into Queercat's situation. For me, it's not quite the same as being drunk, i.e. "roomspin." It's a more subtle uneasiness that suddenly hits you like a pang and before you know it you want to grab something and just be still. You close your eyes and the world keeps moving. I thought I'd include a picture. For some of you, this picture will be nothing more than a stoner poster; for others, it will make you look away. Blech.

You are probably just overtired and malnourished. Try getting some iron in your diet, drinking lots of water, taking naps when possible, and exercising to work off emotional stress so you can sleep. It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with your ears or eyes, so it's probably a fatigue/stress situation.
I know exactly how you feel, brotha. Hope I'm not being that annoying person who says "why don't you just blahdy blahdy blah." Boy, have I had THAT happen a lot in the last year.
