Motion sickness in a skatepark

Post Reply New Topic

hello everybody.

i have just been diagnosed with aspergers, got hospitalized for smashing a glass door with my fist at my parents house in outrage and frustration / lack of sleep and food even money. while i was on the waiting list to get to get examined. But got in on the same day that happened. I seriously thought i had bipolar and that there was just no hope for me. but thank god there was

What i really wanted to ask about is..

its because ive been skateboarding for many years now. and every time i go to a skatepark where there's alot of people skating around, all these noises, people, and me skating. I kind of get a motion sickness feel, and my vision starts to blur (it dosent blur like i cant see anything) just like i can not think straight, if theres MANY people i just cant skate becouirse of it. Has this something to do with my aspergers? Its kind of annoying here in the winter time, cuz you can only skate indoors, and there WILL be alot of people at these spots. What can i do about it. I discovered once that smoking a little bit of my friends cannabis, did so i just didnt care if there were a lot of people. But dont want to do drugs because of it. Is there anything i can do? I also take seroquel from the hospilization, which im going off soon, when my life is sorted out again.

I've had motion sickness while riding in cars (so I recognise the feeling) but never in skateparks. Although when I use to skate in a huge indoor megaplex Vans skatepark, I'd prefer to do a couple of things:
• Use it during the day - when kids are at school. Sometimes I'd be the only person using it.
• Wear earplugs.

The earplugs were to escape the noisey "music" that was always blaring over the PA. I was certainly taking a risk by doing that but, don't think I ever had any close calls since the park was nearly empty during those times. It was kind of fun too, experiencing it like Monty Nolder (a deaf pro skater of the 70s-80s). Just the fundamentals of skating to guide me.
