Today, my parents grounded me and took away my phone, iPod and door. That's right, my door. They think that because I was stumbling and couldn't walk straight last night, I must have been out drinking. They know I suffer from chronic vertigo, but don't believe I was having an attack. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while talking to my parents, I dropped an ordinary drinking glass. After I apologized and cleaned the mess, they told me that they had decided that if I couldn't be careful at home, I certainly couldn't be careful on the roads. They took away my keys. I'm 19. FML
Today, I woke up with a hangover from last night. Last night, I snuck out and went to a party at a club. To hide my hangover, I cleaned myself up and walked into the kitchen to get a drink. My mother looked at me and said, "What's that on your wrist?" I'd forgotten I'd left the wristband on from the club. I'm already grounded. FML
Today, my dad got extremely drunk, so I took away his car keys and left on foot. When I came back, I saw that he had broken down my door. Now my dad is mad at me for not giving him the keys when he was drunk, and I'm door-less. FML
Today, my dad came home drunk off his ass. So drunk that he couldn't manage to open the refrigerator, and ended up punching it in a fit of rage. When I tried to calm him down and get him to bed, he told me to fuck off, and grounded me. FML
Today, I was running to my car, slipped, and slammed my head on the car door. I started driving to the hospital because it was bleeding profusely and I was dizzy, I called my mom to tell her what had happened. She said I was grounded for "goofing off" and that she was "sick of my shit". FML
Today, my parents tried to apologize for wrongly grounding me. I told them to go fuck themselves, so now I'm re-grounded. FML
Today, my parents woke me up and grounded me for the "disrespectful" things I said to them in my sleep. Apparently I say these things every night, and each time I do they extend the grounding. FML
Today, my parents yelled at me for coming home drunk from a party last night. They said I couldn't hang out with my best friend anymore as he's a "bad influence". He was the only one sober in our group and drove me home safely. FML
Today, my parents accused me of being secretive. I have no idea what they're talking about; all I do is work, go to school, sleep, and eat. Now I'm grounded until I tell them what's going on. I have crazy parents, that's what's going on. FML
Today, my parents yelled at me for 10 minutes without letting me get a word in edgeways for getting a 48 on my test. They took my phone, unplugged my internet, and took my car keys. They wouldn't listen no matter how many times I told them, "It was out of 50". It actually was. FML

sleep in every room in the house for a week until they remove the doors then once they are done steal all of the screws for the doors and then negotiate with them for your stuff back

My mother did that too once. Simple fix; I removed her door to replace mine. She gave up the fight after that.

What is chronic vertigo?

I think it is when you are afraid of heights and have been for a long time. I think it can be very serious and can have effects. It is an anxiety problem.

My mom thinks that having doors anywhere in the house, besides the bathroom, disturbs our flow with each other.

Vertigo's a feeling that you're going to fall over, and an inability to walk steadily. It's a balance problem and it can be a really scary and disabling condition. I suffer from occasional attacks so I know how you feel OP, I've been known to feel like I'm going to fall over whilst lying flat on my bed. When I'm having an attack, I'll frequently walk in a diagonal line across a room because, to my brain (or at least the part that controls my movement) that's a perfectly reasonable way to cross a room!

I wonder something, if you had a vertigo attack could you not just lay on the floor and close your eyes? Would that make you feel better? Idk and was just curious.

I have vertigo as well and laying down and closing my eyes, personally, does nothing. I'll still feel like I'm spinning. it's actually fairly entertaining until I try to stand up again...
