Vertigo

/ˈvɜːrtɪɡoʊ/noun
ELI5 mode

Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness where you feel like you're spinning or the world around you is whirling uncontrollably, often accompanied by nausea and loss of balance. It's typically caused by issues in the inner ear or brain, but in modern usage, it can metaphorically describe any profound sense of disorientation in life's twists and turns, like navigating a career change.
