I'm copying this from another thread (which is actually a positive one, sigh):
Yesterday was great. And I mean great, an almost normal day.
But today... started ok as well, but in the late afternoon I got so anxious and couldn't ignore my visual snow. Is it getting more intense because I'm nervous or I'm nervous because it's more intense?! The usual conundrum. When my bf came home I had such a crisis, but at least I told him about visual snow for the first time. I never tell anyone because usually it's not a problem... And I didn't tell my mother because she has worries enough (including my other eye problems). Now I'm relaxing a bit. Anyway, my bf agrees that going to a neurophtalmologist would be good... I never did since, as I just said, I've had it forever and never was a problem. I'm sure it's just anxiety, but these days rationalizing could be so hard. :(
Any wise and kind words? A hug?
Thx people...
-- By the way, by "more intense" I mean that it's thicker and also got a brighter pattern in the center. As usual with vs, it's visible in dim lights or on white. I've already had it in the past, so I shouldn't make a drama of it. I don't know why I react like that - well, of course I know, months of stress and anxiety and I'm hypersensitive. I can ignore it for a day and a half and then I can't anymore.

Sorry if this is almost a duplicate of a previous thread I wrote ;)
You know (unfortunately) how anxiety works... same worries coming and going.
