Sensitive to Light

[ItsNick]

Anybody experience this? Pretty sure it can be a symptom of Anxiety... I'm also taking St Johns Wort and I've read that it can cause it as well.... But, I know the dreaded Brain Tumors do it as well....

Anybody get this?

When my anxiety was at its worst I was very sensitive to light and had to wear sunglasses outside. I was also very sensitive to smells and sounds. I think my senses were all heightened by my anxiety which made my anxiety worse. I also worry about brain tumors but i know sensitivity to light is common amongst anxiety sufferers!

You are a godsend and that made me feel a bit better. Thanks so much for the reply. It sucks! I was playing with my dog last weekend in the snow and the sunlight and the snow was just killer for me. I was struggling to look up and down lol

Oh the snow makes it so much worse! I always have to wear sunglasses when in the snow! White reflects the sun more than most colors so it's no wonder that was bothering your eyes!
