Hi guys,
I know that there are quite a few posts about eye issues, but from what people have been describing, seems more momentary than continual.
For the past 2 months EVERYDAY I've been dealing with my eyes issues.
1.) Photosensitivity : My eyes are so sensitive to light, I'm squinting all the time outside unless it's very cloudy. Glare just kills me.
2.) The feeling of complete information overload, like my eyes are trying to take in too much information, and I can't relax my vision on anything. (Which can lead onto feelings of depersonalisation)
3.) Eye movements feel jerky, and not smooth. When not moving them, I find words on the screen and in books are blurry around the edges ( I went to an optometrist and she said my eyes were fine)
4.) When travelling in a car it's the worst, as I see everything move much faster and feels much less stable.
5.) My field of vision is narrower, I know before all of this I could see more in my cone of vision. It feels like my peripheral vision as come in more and my point of focus is smaller.
6.) Most mornings and night time I've a dull lingering ache/headache behind my eyes and temples. A cloudy, spaced out sensation lingers with me also.
Has anyone here had this and cured it? Most of the time, I don't feel anxiety, BUT my eye issues can bring them on and gets me flustered and feeling very uncomfortable. The only time I get some rest from it, is at night time when the sun isn't out, and things feel more calm. Trying to function in public is very hard as I can't keep calm and if I do, It's fake and I'm just putting it on in order to seem LIKE I'm functioning.
A friend who overcame his anxiety and panic attacks told me he used Holy Basil supplements and Vitamin A and D to help with his eyes. Can anyone else vouch for that?
Any advice would be lovely at this stage as it's consuming me and no one around me really understands me because you really have to experience this to fully understand it's effects. I'm experiencing this constantly with no let up so I'm quite desperate for a plan of action!
Thank you for listening :)
