Fear

Inthe last week I have developed completely irrational and ridiculous fear of the stairs in my house, this is incredibly frustrating and discouraging because for weeks now I've been climbing and walking past the top of the stairs with no problem I live in a tri-level home so in order to get up to my room I have to climb three small sets of stairs, about 14 steps in all, I haven't had an issue with doing this up til now, in fact, it's been going really we,  the problem is this:there are only rails on the left side of the stairs, obviously that is not the best set up for me, so
Ih ave to go up the stairs sideways, I hold onto the Bannister with my right hand,use my strong right leg to lift myself and my left leg onto the next stair up, oh and I have to make sure my cane gets up the stairs with me whever I encounter the stairs Iget nauseous, dizzy and lightheaded, this fear is quickly becoming almost crippling, I spent all day yesterday, being anxious about having to deal with the stairs, and let me tell that is exhausting, so today I've decided to enjoy my day and to not worry about the stairs and to conquer them today, so I don't have to deal with this fear anymore!
