freshly diagnosed- any insight?

Hi, I’m a 36 year old female, and I’ve struggled with nausea / dizziness / vertigo as long as I can remember. I had an episode that was horrible and that triggered me to finally seek help. I was diagnosed today. I started physical therapy, and have Zoloft and 50mg meclizine. I’m just so used to getting sick all of the time but I feel a lot better having a diagnosis.
How do you get through this? I want it to get better. I’m a single mother of 3 kids and I just want our lives to not be so affected by my illness. Any tips would be so appreciated!
My worst is bedtime, I doze off and wake up with a roller coaster sensation I have to wait to pass and suffer the rest of the night. Some nights I wake up and have to go throw up. Other nights, I’m just spinning and have to hope it gets better.
I didn’t realize until therapy today that I suffer from fullness feeling in my ear(s) and tinnitus. I just never realized until I was asked that I suffer from that, instead thinking it’s just normal.
I get really dizzy from having my eyes closed, obviously motion sickness from motion around me like at traffic lights, entertainment where the camera is moving / bouncing / spinning, etc. travel is a nightmare.
Have you found relief with physical therapy? Stronger medications?

“My kids know better”

A few days ago Laura smugly explained that leaving art supplies out means her kids absolutely know the boundaries and will not color on walls, etc. she doesn’t worry about it because she’s told them not to and warned their privileges would be taken away.
then today posts a day in the life 😂

“I feel like I’m not being the best mom to my other kids because I have no energy once the afternoon comes. But it’s ok, only temporary”

How about you stop waking up at 4am and using all of your energy on your workout and burning as many calories as possible to fuel your eating disorder and focus on using your energy on your children????
This hasn’t even crossed her mind.

The selfishness is honestly shocking.

Someone please remember

Does anyone remember this gum from the 90s / 00s that was like, berry flavor. It was pink and blue, striped one color on the left, the other on the right. It was a long strip and rolled into a container. It was NOT bubblicious or bubble tape. (In the US, specifically)

It was so good and it doesn’t seem to exist.
The container was like a chewing tobacco style, and that was blue.

I am positive I didn’t make this up but I can’t find anything online about it.
