Some help me please

I'm hoping someone out there can help me somehow. This all started may 11th when I got a condition called labyrnthitis, it caused me to have vertigo for about two weeks, which were some of the worst of my life. I could barely eat and pretty much paced and cried in a panic the whole time. It started to subside and I thought everything was okay but I woke up the next day and things just didn't look right. Now I'm in this constant almost brain fog? I don't know how to describe it besides the fact that everything looks kind of darker and I just feel like I'm not here or semi drunk or something. I wake up with it everyday and am so afraid because I can't escape it, I have no safe place from it and can never relax except sometimes at night because I know I can go to sleep and get away from it soon. I saw a psychiatrist who gave me klonopin but it didn't help and I am in the process of getting off of it. I'm so scared every single day and I can't ever stop thinking about the feeling, It feels like my mind is so loud now and I notice every single thought! , I also have physical symptoms, very bad nausea and diarrhea and pressure and pain on the right side of my face and jaw and my neck. I've looked all over the web for answers and some have scared me even more about people having this for years!!

Please someone help me, I'm a mom of 3 small kiddos and they need me to be better and stronger!

Before I respond... let me ask you some follow up questions . First. How long have you been suffering from this? And second. Is it viral or bacterial? And third... how long were you suffering from this before you seen a doctor. You see your labyrinth controls nit only your ability to hear but,also your balance. When your labyrinth is infected. . It effects the signals to your brain and when the signals are "screwy" ... . Not only that, it depends on how long you've gone without treatment. If you've waited too long to get treatment then there's a chance that you may have sustained permanent damage. Go back and see your doctor and explain your predicament. If however .. you did get treatment on time... then as soon as the infection subsides. .. so should your symptoms. Good luck sweetie and this will be very uncomfortable but, hang in there. And btw.. one side effect of klonapine.. is dizziness.

I did see a doctor about it right at the start and they had me on prednisone for 8 days but had me stop because they thought it was making the anxiety worse.

I've had these symptoms since may 11th. The dizziness isn't a spinning but it feels like I'm being pulled to the side kind of? And it also feels like my brain can't really process what I'm seeingfast enough? If that even makes sense it's so hard to describe the feeling. The ent will not see me again as he thinks this is all anxiety related and post partum depression because I had a son 8 weeks ago, but I was literally fine until this ear thing, now it's like my life is over. It's all I think about, I can't enjoy anything or even watch tv.
