| Please tell me someone else does this!
Okay, I have never discussed this with anyone but my husband. It's a mind problem that's aggravating but I always thought it was normal until he told me it's not. Let me see if I can explain it, because it's really kind of complicated to understand unless you have the same problem. I can be somewhere, anywhere, and all of a sudden, my position changes. In another words, the whole room changes position in my mind. It causes me problems with waiting tables at work because I can take an order, go to the kitchen area to ring in the order, and when I come back into the resteraunt area where my table is that I just took the order from, the whole room itself has changed it's position in space is the only way I know how to put it. Anyway, then I can't remember where my table was. Sometimes I can wait a minute and it will change back to the position it was in when I took the order, and then I'll remember. It happens when I'm driving. I'll know what direction to go to get somewhere, but then the surroundings will "rotate" you might say, and until it comes back to the way it was in the first place, I'll be lost. I think I have done this for years, but like I said, I didn't really think it was that abnormal, just really aggravating. The only way you might be able to picture what I'm talking about is to think of the little boxes you can draw where you draw a square and then draw another square kind of inside that one and then connect the corners, you know to draw a dimensional box. Anyway if you watch the box for a second it will change positions. It's kind of like that, only think of the box as a room you're in. This happens to me many, many times a day, but I don't think that much about it usless it causes me to "lose my way" if you will. Please write back if you have ever experienced this. I did mention it to my doctor and he just said the mind can play tricks on us.
