Well yes its me again lol.
For the past week I've been worrying non stop about my vision.
I'm scared I'm going blind, even though I had an eye exam last Sunday and my optician said everything was healthy and took a picture of my retina to prove it.
I'm so terrified still that I have a detachment/tear in my retina thats just suddenly come on in a matter of days, I'm so scared the photograph missed something, even though I know deep down if there was a tear or detachment it would show up.
I've never worried about my vision before either, I just feel so angry that I don't have perfect eyes, I see floaters constantly and I just can't seem to accept its nothing even though my Mum has them too like I do (I have them in the dark and so does my Mum).
This all started because I read somewhere floaters are only something to worry about if you see them in the dark and what happened? Yep I started seeing them in the dark, I just got so scared because it was so sudden. I know I've probably had them there for ages as I have had them ocasionally in the dark but not constant, but I started focusing on them and now I just feel so miserable.
I don't want to go back to the opticians as I know it would be silly and I'm trying so hard to get over my HA I don't want to feed it by going backwards and forwards to the doctors or opticians when I've been given a clean bill of health.
This is more of a rant more than an actual question and I'm sorry for posting again. But one thing I will ask is does anyone have any tips for getting over this? :( I think this is the biggest scare I've had with my health as for some reason I feel like I can't blame my eye problems on anxiety.
Thank you for reading xx
