Hello everyone,
Im a longstanding health anxiety sufferer, though in the last year and a half, my anxiety has only been about 5% of what it used to be, so not really an issue these days.
However, about a year ago, I devloped an irrational concern regarding my eyes, not that I actually had any symptoms... but you know how it is with health anxiety, you dont need evidence.
I am 6 months past my routine eye check up and I need some new frames, so Ive booked myself in for an eye test tomorrow morning, but for some reason, Im rather scared of having it done in case something nasty shows up. My last test showed everything healthy. I don't know what they can see when doing an eye exam, so I dont know if Im worrying for the sake of it.
Need some reassurance that Im likely being paranoid and my eyes could not have had something go drastically wrong without symptoms. Im not concerned about a change in vision. Im scared they'll see something else.
Can someone please give me a metaphorical boot up the bum, for being paranoid and talk some logic into me?
