Colls100, understandable frustration, but also a bit of self pity, which brings you nowhere. What you describe is action without a real strategy and guideline (journaling, reading this and that, restless). This happens in panic. You need to establish some habits that lift your spirit up and this is not necessarily connected to symptom relief. Remember outcome independence? Do what makes you feel good! Forget dizziness for a while. Before sleeping or while doing things like knitting I sometimes listen to Claire Weekes. She almost automatically calms me down.
The point is: the longer you are chasing the reason for the dizziness the stronger it gets.
And: if you are not happy with your life for other reasons than your symptom, your symptom will stay. I had to learn this. If I don’t change some things in my life the pain will come back. It is also very difficult for me to do something nice for myself, to make changes and I am not really there yet. But I feel that I am on a good path.
I wish you a friendly breeze that takes you in the right direction...
