and then there's the "mind going blank"- which just happened. so i guess i'm done with this post...
oh my how scary the world turning /spinning suddenly , and this is a new symptom? if this happened to me I would be calling my treatment providers. dissociation doest usually show itself in physical symptoms like the world spinning/turning. usually this kind of symptom is associated with things like vitamin deficiency like anemia, ear infections, vertigo, medication side effects, Even something as simple as not getting enough to sleep or over eating/under eating/ over hydrating/under hydrating can cause a person/me to feel dizzy/faint/like the world is spinning. given that here in america yesterday was thanksgiving and I didnt exactly eat the right combinations and amounts of foods that was right for me I too dont feel physically fit and a bit dizzy/like the world is moving/spinning. but I know by tomorrow things will be back to normal for me, because Im back on all my treatment plans including dietary today.

the good thing is that if this is a physical or dissociative symptom there are meds for this that can help you feel more stable.

my suggestion maybe a call to your treatment providers to let them know of this new symptom so that they can assess where and why its suddenly happening and treat you for it so that you will feel better soon.
