Balance Issues

So, I have been a gamer (avid player of playing video games) for literally as far back as I can remember. Balance Issues normally speaks to a particular element of a game being over or under powered when compared to another. An example of this often comes into play in unimplemented things that are otherwise cardinal to intended mechanics. This usually results in one player-controlled race/class/character being better/worse than others, resulting in players using that specific device more than (or less than in the case of under-power), which in turn leads to unsatisfying game play.

The balance referred to draws its origins from the concept as it applies to Humanity and the Human Experience. balance, or a lack there of, speaks to a problem with all sides being equal. This concept is called a state of Equilibrium. Equilibrium is also the name for the sum of all the things that make humans able to balance. Sound has a huge role in this, as much (arguably all) of Humanity's ability to balance on two legs comes from a balance of fluids in the inner ear.  

now, I start with this tangent so you will understand that I know what I am talking about when I speak on the subject of Balance Issues.

Today's balance issues only have to do with the game of Life.
not the board game, mind you.
the life that you, and I lead. that life.
You know, the one that for your probably starts with slapping your alarm clock or phone and getting 'just two more minutes', and then maybe a cup of coffee and a bowl of cold cereal, before spending 8-12 hours at a job you probably hate.  
Specifically mine, today, is having massive balance issues. not in terms of gaming, mind you. The above was more/less just a starting place so you might have some idea of where my mind goes when I think of lacking balance. 
You should understand that my life has (as near as I can tell) always been unbalanced. That is to say, my brain is not (chemically) balanced correctly.
To this end, I have a standing subscription for generic Celexa, which helps stem the tidal cycle of depression and anxiety that have colored my life to this point.
I present this without judgement and only a slight tint of remorse.

Now, among the things that Celexa (which is an SSRI; that is, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor) can do, are drop in sex drive, mild confusion, excessive sleepiness, and it can cause mild dizziness. these are common side effects.
I rarely am affected by any of these,
I am usually a bit dizzy and unsteady on my feet when  I wake up, more so than I used to be before being on the meds. I do not mind this, because it makes it a bit of a trick to get to the bathroom and until today has never posed any really big problems for me.
Among the rarer side effects Celexa and other SSRI's can have is causing of the sensation of vertigo.
For those that do not know, and have been exceedingly drunk, vertigo is similar to the spinning that exceedingly drunk people often say they experience.
Vertigo is, however, substantially worse.
Near as I can tell, without reading on Wikipedia about it, vertigo is a complete shifting of the fluids in your inner ear. so powerful is the effect that your inner ear has on your brain, that your vision feels wrong, and seems to not make sense.

 (here, fine, I made myself curious:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertigo  )

 Now, for me, this sensation was somewhere between two of the three main types. I am unsure even now, as everything feels fine, if I felt like the room, or I was spinning, but very much so everything was. I felt like I was falling and like everything around me was spinning simultaneously, but I could not begin to separate the two sensations into one complex feeling. unpleasant.
I woke up and felt my usual unsteadiness on my feet, opened my door, took my first awkward stumbly step and *wham* it was literally like I was walking on the ceiling, and the floor at the same time. I dropped to the ground, unable to right myself right away.  I managed to get to all fours on my hands and knees, only to fall over sideways. By the time I hit the ground (which was not entirely uncontrolled), I knew what was happening sort of. It did not scare me as much as frustrate me.
I managed to get to my back, which took more effort than it sounds like it would being that I was alternating from all fours to falling on my side. Once flat on my back, I just lay there, feeling spinny for about five or so minutes, near as I can tell.  Once the feeling subsided, I clumsily got to my side, then all fours, then to my feet. once back on my feet, I felt like I always feel in the mornings: vaguely unsteady, like an infant that can walk with relative ease, but whom gravity has not bent entire before into the mastery that adults have.

I'm a bit shaky right now, only because it was very tiring to try (and fail) so hard to right myself and stand.
This feeling is not entirely foreign to me. I broke my nose about ten years ago, and had about a week and a half of disorientation similar to this. The only thing that really stands out to me is that I literally could not make sense for a little while of what my eyes were seeing.

I wish I could remember what I was dreaming about, because I have started (here or elsewhere on my computer) to write down my dreams. This event (which was about six hours ago now) knocked any remembrance of my dreams from last night out of my head. 

 I might update this more, as I am kinda tired of writing right about now, but I thought it was worth mentioning that this is, in almost six months, of being on the drug, the first time I have had any kind of major side effect.

still, better than anxiety that cripples me.
