I think we all have that fear because our sight is everything and yet people with anxiety will worry more about it .

I think the best thing for you to do is to get up out of bed have a nice shower get dressed and go downstairs and make yourself a nice meal or snack with a cup of tea or coffee.

Open the window or door and take in some fresh air then listen or watch your favourite program or listen to your favourite music .

I was exactly like you back in January 2015 my son left home after an argument and i was suffering extreme anxiety and stress which led to a breakdown . I was in bed with the flu and bronchitis also and didn't get out of the house for a month , but when i was over the flu i knew i had to get up and start living again because i wasn't going to spend my life in a bedroom .

It's the only way to get out of the rut believe me , you just need to have some courage and get out of bed and try what i did , it works it really does .

Is laying in bed constantly worrying actually helping you feel better? I am not being sarcastic here just trying to get you to see how what you are doing is making everything worse.

If you are obsessing over your eyes then go and get an eye examination so you know absolutely that you have nothing to worry about. If you can't believe the results of eye exam then make Drs apt and explain how bad you are as it does sound as if you need medical attention for your anxiety rather than just some reassurance.

We all understand how awful the anxiety your feeling is as we have all been there at some time but you do need to do something to try and help yourself cope.

I know and believe me i have been there , but lying in bed is very unhealthy you are better to get up and walk around get your circulation going and having something nice to eat will make you feel better .

There isn't anything we can do on here to force you out of bed the only one who can do this is YOU ! and when you have taken that first step you will be happy you did .

Try it .
