Thanks rainbow. Yes I sometimes feel like I might throw up or sometimes I feel like I'll pass out or I start feeling dizzy and walk into things.

On this outing we didn't do any grounding except we had a train get stopped for a few minutes (in my youth being stuck on a train for forty minutes happened to me a few times and led me a little panicky). He reminded me that it would likely move again in only a few minutes
Thanks for this!
