I went through blood tests, MRIs, a CT scan, and an EEG. The results showed that I was fine so nobody knew what the problem was. My family and friends were worried sick about me thinking I may never be the same. Luckily, I was able to go home on November, 10th though I was still not feeling like myself. I missed almost an entire week of school in order to get better. I went to doctor appointments nearly every day for the rest of the month. I also started to go to physical therapy sense vertigo seemed to be what caused this traumatic experience. Everyone has been telling me different reasons for this event. I've been told I could have a seizure disorder, atypical migraines, Meniere's disease, and many other conditions. I do not believe any of those to be correct because I do not feel all that sick.

There was too much pressure from my family and I allowed that pressure to get into me, which is the main reason why I became a workaholic.
