I worried about a brain tumour before Christmas last year and that worry went on for a few months. A couple of other worries took over, now I'm back in full blown BT mode.
I woke up in the night and couldn't focus on the digital numbers on my clock. They looked blury and like they were moving. I went to the loo and my vision was ok but when I came back to bed the clock still looked the same. I'm terrified I was having a simple partial seizure that was affecting my vision. I've been stressing about this for a while as I have had some blurring of my vision etc.
I've just started Sertraline for my anxiety and so far it's making it worse but I'm only on day seven.

Honestly if I could some how take a picture of what I can see when I first wake up you would be shocked at how little I can focus on and my eyes are fine. And I definitely do not have a tumour.
The world doesn't truly come into focus for some time with me especially looking at something electronic.

Thanks, I'm worried that it didn't improve even when I'd got up and gone to the bathroom. When I woke up the second time at about 5am it was back to normal. Can't get it out of my mind, especially as I've had other visual stuff going on. I do hope I get some relief from Sertraline, I feel like I'm going crazy.
