Perhaps try wearing some headphones with music as you try to walk down them? Maybe it will help distract you.

On my worst days, I go down the stairs on my butt. I know it'll probably look crazy to my neighbors but I at least know I won't fall. I'm also on a second floor apartment building.

Yes, me too, I was thinking I might just go down them on my butt! It wouldn't be the first time I've done that. I think I did it when my knee pain was really bad.

I can't do it that way when I wear a skirt for apartment seeking, but today i just have to go to the clinic. I shouldnt worry about skirts today. Maybe the panic will subside by the time I'm wearing a skirt.

It's interesting that it came on, each time, in the weeks after a hospitalization.

Yes, I just bought some new ear phones yesterday since the ones I had got packed somewhere. So maybe that will help me too.
Thanks for this!
