DO YOU DRIFT TO THE SIDE WHEN YOU WALK?

Hi everyone,
I realized that I drift to the side when I walk. Since it has been nice out I walk every day. I started noticing that I was drifting. I think it was to the right side but will pay more attention tomorrow. Then I realized that this was part of having hyperphoria. This condition seems to take on a life of it's own. Remember when I told you my son and his wife went to Michigan? Remember I told you how he uses alcohol for his anxiety problems? It seems like now since his new prism glasses he has a hard time drinking. It makes him feel bad. It is interesting to note that his prism was very small. He had many other eye issues and between the one prism and the correction of the other eye issues his anxiety is greatly reduced his anger outburst are fewer and his drinking is becoming non existent. How does this work? I wish I knew. His wife is doing much better also and has lost her neck pain and gone off of 3 meds.
The point to this post is to make you aware that you may have a drifting problem and don't even know it. Or maybe you just think your clumsey. Some of us don't even know we have problems until someone points it out. I know if it isn't broke don't fix it. Sometimes it's broke and you keep using it anyway.Just a thought.

Well that's it for today. Remember it's not in your head it's in your eyes.

Talk to you soon. Yolanda

ITS NOT YOUR FAULT

Hi Everyone, my subject today is DON'T BLAME YOURSELF. There is a answer for your anxiety and panic just believe you will find it someday. I knew what I had was not something I did to myself as I was led to believe. The medical society in general wants you to believe that cancer is your fault, high blood pressure is your fault, diabetes is your fault. At least the type 2. If they aren't blaming you for what you have their blaming your relatives. You fill out the form in the doctors office and there it is. Do you or any of your relatives have this. Yes there are some thing that are hereditary but not everything.
I had a good friend once whose mother had diabetes. My friend went to the doctor one day for some routine matter and the doctor told her she must have diabetes, the medicine he gave her shut down her kidneys and she died. I know this is extreme but you get the idea.

What I am getting at here is nobody wants anxiety and panic so instead of finding a way to live with it why not just try and find a way to get rid of it. Wouldn't that be more productive. Baby Steps should only be used if you are in a field full of cows. You get my drift.

So what's the point of this conversation? I want you to take the hyperphoria test to the right and grade yourself and start on your recovery. Also read the posts here so you can be encouraged. Yes you need encouragement even if your, your own cheerleader.

Hugs, Yolanda
