And, I’m back again. This quarantine has made it difficult to work on my emotional issues. I am a fairly recent widow living all alone, and I have never had so much free time to worry and stress.
I am currently down the visual rabbit hole, and today I drove to the park and was Sitting in my car scrolling through Facebook on my cell phone. I was looking at a series of pictures that had comment icons at the bottom. One of those tiny little comment icons had a tiny little piece Of the drawing missing. Instead of calmly blinking my eyes to see if the tiny little piece filled in, I threw my phone to the passenger seat and put my arms on my head. I calmed myself for a moment and then checked my phone again. All the little boxes were filled in, but I have no idea if I was using the same part of my vision.
Opinion One: I’m almost 60 years old. I’ve learned that my body does quirky things from time to time. I’ve experienced something similar to this on occasion. It isn’t something to have a freak out about. I’ll write it down, and, unless It starts happening frequently, I’ll bring it up at my annual eye doctor appointment the first of October.
Opinion Two: Visual blind spots are very bad. I’m going to be in a total panic attack till I go to the ER and have this checked. I probably have a brain tumor and will die alone and unloved. I need reassurance this is not what is happening.
Can anyone help me? Which opinion is best?
Is this ER worthy? In the past I subjected myself to way too many ER visits and tests. I do not want to start that again. I am trying to keep to my regularly scheduled checkups and stuff unless something is serious. I just am a little crazy about health matters and need some help to figure things out.
