Today, I was diagnosed with vertigo. It's like being perpetually drunk, but without any of the fun bits. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, thanks to my new anti-anxiety meds, I am finally no longer agoraphobic. Today also marks 5 weeks of constant diarrhea due to the same meds. Guess who's not leaving the house anytime soon. FML
Today, I woke up with a vicious hangover. It wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't woken up to dozens of cans strewn all over the floor. I don't remember buying half the store's supply of pork and beans. FML
Today, I slammed the car door on my head while I was getting in the car. If that wasn't bad enough, my boyfriend is convinced I now have a concussion and insists on waking me up every hour to make sure I'm still alive. FML
Today, I thought it would be a good idea to sneak out of work early and pay a little visit to the pub. I ended up staggering home, drunkenly making myself a nacho cheese dorito milkshake with the blender, then promptly puked my guts out all over the kitchen table. FML
Today, my drinking problem became apparent when my daughter asked for a glass of juice, and I instinctively poured a large glass of scotch instead. FML
Today, I was trying to explain to my mom that I've been having panic attacks. I ended up having a panic attack from talking about having a panic attack. FML
Today, my wife, who has a drinking problem, looked me straight in the eye as she poured herself a "water" bottle to enjoy while at work. FML
Today, my husband and I woke up to see my drunk mother passed out on our couch. She was wearing nothing but socks. FML
Today, I chipped my tooth on a beer bottle. While I was drinking alone in my basement. FML
Today, I horribly lost a game of basketball against my dad. It wouldn't have been so humiliating if he hadn't been piss drunk at the time. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Can actual drinking reverse that?

I think we should try this. Any victims? I mean volunters?

There are some treatments for vertigo, it depends on the cause of it. Hopefully, it's treatable for you!

Since when is being drunk fun? I'm in it for the buzz right before the drunkenness.

I'm a kid and have had it chronically on and off for the last year. It helps if you stay still.. The worse goes away in a couple days then it just stays and lingers for a while but not as bad as the beginning so that's something that's good

I have issues too. When stressed, it lasts for days and it's difficult to deal, but I have to force myself to function, I just lay down whenever I can. When I am not stressed, I can stand the wrong way and the room spins. It sucks when it happens, but not much I can do in my case. It's caused by inner ear damage, so not much can be done.

I have a permanent case of that due to past trauma I received to the head from a horrific car accident I was in. I can't wear heels (I even tried those shape up shoes, after walking on them for a few minutes, I puked), go on anything that spins, can't go on swings, can't be carried, and so on. So, welcome to my world buddy :)
