Walking Thru Long Corridors

[OTO]

Our office building has long corridors with a square pattern carpet and overhead lights in a sequential pattern.   I walk down the corridor and get that Twilight Zone illusion of a never-ending corridor.   It creeps me out.   But I put a hand on the wall and it goes away.... yikes...

Oh yeah,  That's a balance issue.  I get it often in weird areas where the visuals can be skewed by the brain.  But I guess you just get used to the weirdness and stay still for a minute, catch your bareings and you will ge straight again.

I know the feeling.  It reminds me of my college drinking days and sneaking into the dorm a <ahem> little under the influence.  I do what I did then, drag a finger on the wall.  <hick>

Big box stores--like Costco--with high ceilings, fluorescent lights and echoing, loud sounds are awful for me.
I just hold onto the cart and forge ahead.  Gotta get those 12 tubes of toothpaste!

My therapist told me that people with ADD have a hard time in big box stores.  She suggested I wear a hat when I go to those places.  I still hand on to the cart for dear life, but the lights, the noise and the crowds and all of those too tall shelves don't get to me like they did before and my balance is a little bit better.  Didn't work for me on long corridors though or outside.  I guess the brim of the hat blocks out the bigness.

OTO,
  I know what you mean.  Duke Hospital has a long tunnel between the parking structure and the Hospital.  It's both curved and rises and falls along it's length.  Early on after AN treatment, this tunnel was very uncomfortable to walk through.  It doesn't bother me as much now.
Regards,
