AM, .
A tailspin is like all things are spinning and you visually lose it, so, dizzy would be an understatement.
Also when equalibrium is lost so go the thoughts. That is my own description of tailspin..its backwards spinning.
I usually look at what caused it to happen, then I can asess what my needs are so I can cope. If it is something new, different than I am being treated for than I mark it in my notebook. By the way, I am being treated by a PhD, who is in the office of my spine surgeon. Now you must know who I am. I have the worst spine they have ever sen..and that is not a "massage".
The accident caused this spine..I was 3 months post-op rom my 2nd spine surgery when the drunk driver on drugs hit my Mercedes-Benz.
So my association with this doctor is primarily pain related, but he is a pro with phobias. He got me to whee I am driving again..when I can, from a pain standpoint.
Recently with the QUIT and seeing the car accident thats when the tailspin hit me. I thought I would never come out of it. I got an emergency visit with the PhD, who is now seing me every two weeks, instead of 6 to 8 weeks. I am still wanting somone to pinch me to make sure this QUIT is not a dream, to assure me that it is real. I am so happy, but what to do about the other symptoms?
