I fell down the stairs for, like, the eleventh time this year and that's not even an exaggeration.
One time was just a standard slip I think (new shoes, marble floor at school) but nearly every other time it's from dissociating. Or maybe I dissociate after I fall. Or both. I dunno. I just think they're related somehow; it's been increasing as I dissociate more and become more aware of switching.
I live in a second story apartment, and work in a second story office, and all my classes are usually on the second or third floor. It's rare that there's an elevator --some of the buildings are historic so they don't have one. Since I gotta go to work and school and take the dog out, I probably go up and down the stairs nearly 20x a day.
Anyway, this time I just strained my neck, but I've been hurt pretty bad before. Anyone else experience this? Any ideas how to stop falling?
