I’ve been off my fizzy game recently. I’ve been feeling a little flat (pun intended) as I have been dizzy for two weeks. A trip to the doctors revealed nothing but dizziness so it was off to the opticians today for a checkup.
It turns out when you tell an optician you’ve been dizzy for two weeks, they take you seriously. I also discovered today that I’m not a fan of being taken seriously.
Age is doing its inevitable thing and I need a stronger prescription. I also need a separate prescription for reading. So far, so predictable.
Then my wake up call happened. My dizziness is caused by the muscles around my eye being strained and the tension confusing my brain. This is due to stress. Stress! Stress has caused me to feel like I’ve just got off a waltzer for two weeks. Bloody stress. I over-focus on things and that’s causing the problem. Over-focusing? Well, that’s my entire life. I can analyse the hell out of everything and that’s making me ill.
It’s now time to sort myself out. I am healthy but stress is flooring me and I am bored of it now. So I am my own project. I can legitimately find myself fascinating for a while as I work out what helps me calm down. I can put myself under a microscope and concentrate on my needs for a while. It might even require new stationery. It has been ages since I’ve actually thought about what I want or need. If my husband asks I usually reply “chocolate” which may be true but I don’t think that it is my only need or desire. It’s time to investigate and fix the problem. I do hope I’m interesting.
