I really feel like I'm going blind, my vision is so weird and I can't actually explain exactly how it feels like and my neurologist always assures me that it's anxiety but it's messing with my head
I feel exactly the same I feel like I’m going blind and things look dark it’s so scary
how are you now?
@@user-sy1hh8dd4f I'm fine now, it was all anxiety and stress. it's a constant battle for people with health anxiety we keep having ups and downs
It's all caused by HYPERVIGILENCE. Our eyes aren't designed to be on high alert all the time. It's tiredness basically. Calming the nervous system is what will make it better :)
Once my body calmed down, the symptoms went away. The body is amazing.
After taking antidepressants I got double vision in dark room with low light only...but I think calming body really helps me
@@Porter5habazz how did you calm down.
What do you do to calm the body,i got all the symptoms,blurry vision,chest tighting,shallow breathing,dizziness,off balance,even feeling sick when I catch a episode.Sometimes the only thing that helps is doing absolutely nothing.I can’t even work out right now dealing with this evil ish.Any tips on calming nervous system?
@@kenzoblytheproducertv4934 slow your breathing down is a simple way. Breathe out for double the time you breathe in.
Thank you so much for talking about this! I had a feeling my anxiety was causing my visual symptoms but it feels so good to know I’m not alone.
I am the same. Hope you get better soon.
Definitely not alone,when she said about going into grocery store and when the lights hit you and how weird that is,happens to me every single time I go into a store with a lot of lights.
I feel off balanced,dizzy the whole 9…
What are some things that you’ve done to help yours?
How are you now Sara?
Same
@sarahfleiss would you like to be friends? I’m looking to connect with someone who is dealing with these same issues?
Amazing how many vision problems anxiety can cause . I have been under so much stress lately and have been having vision issues as well. I will try to de-stress and hopefully these symptoms will subside. Praying for everyone who suffers with anxiety and it’s symptoms may you find healing soon . Thank you so much for posting this video it helps more than you can imagine.
God bless you thank you so much for the prayers I e been dealing with this for 6 months now since I got sick of Covid. The sickness was extremely traumatic for me that I developed an anxiety disorder and my vision went down hill. The depression and depersonalization is so bad that makes me have panic attacks . I pray every day that God delivers me from this. It’s a nightmare.
Thank you. I am experiencing it really strongly currently.
Did you get better now?
@sandiealvarez8594 can we connect?
When you said the supermarket,it hit home!!!
I walk in the supermarket sometimes and when I see all the lights I immediately feel weird and dizzy and can barely walk,it’s like I got to try hard to just walk.Glad I found this channel to see other people solutions to this madness…
Be blessed everyone…
Wow! This is exactly what's happening to me, especially white bright lights
@@jordanvega1666 Fam,it’s the anxiety.I never knew I could have this B/S,matter of fact I didn’t even know what it was,when all this started with me I thought I was having a heart attack,but I’ve had a millions test,even wore heart monitors,head scans,the whole 9,everything normal.It’s crazy it’s a liek a daily job trying to figure it out just to be back to normal…
How long this been going on with you bro?
@@kenzoblytheproducertv4934 It's been 4 months man, same thing... I have been in the hospital multiple times thinking I was having a heart attack, my chest was super tight and I felt like I couldn't breathe. They did every single test, MRI ect, but nothing, they say I was fine even though I have so many weird symptoms including weird vision.
@@jordanvega1666 Fam hang in there,it’s tough as hell but I love the fact we not alone…I went thru the same as you I was in the er just last month have a “episode”,they gave me a freaking drug screen thinking I was on drugs!!!
Ive tried teas,my doctor prescribe me pills none of it worked,to me pills make you worse…
For me what helps is meditation and being present sounds plain jane but I seen the difference when I stopped meditation…
This stuff isn’t a joke,even checking my heart rate every other hour,I’m telling you fam I’ve been thru it with this b/s…
But at least we know we can get better,mental illness is the real but again at least we know we can over come all this fam…
Same, how are you now?
This is what I am experiencing at the moment, I am listening and crying, your words give me so much relief understanding that I am not alone, thank you 🙏
Do you think your symptoms are due to your imaginary fears? More we focus on these scary symptoms more anxious we become (more symptoms). Check whole of your body and see if your symptoms are really that bad.
Thank you so much for making this video! You don’t know how many people you’re helping even years to come
Oh my gosh! This is the first video I've seen of someone saying they get derealization from their light sensitivity. I have had chronic anxiety for 11 years and shortly after my anxiety and panic attacks started I started having vision issues. It started with floaters but now it's sensitivity to bright lights particularly fluorescent lights as well as optical illusions and high contrast patterns like striped and checkers. When the daylight goes down and we turn on our house lights I start feeling strange and get derealization. Like you said, I just feel in a daze and out of it, like I'm dreaming. And of course that just triggers my anxiety more. I'm glad I'm not the only one because I feel like I'm insane or have some horrible illness. My eye doctor always says my eyes are healthy. I only have very slight astigmatism and nearsightedness, neither of which require glasses or contacts.
Same here i just had this with my eyesight for the first time (i also have anxiety disorder)
How u overcome ur problem of vision from anxiety because same problem i suffer plz give me ur guidance
omg same!! is it better for you now?
@@moonlight-mq8js nope, nothing has improved. I’ve learned to be a little bit more tolerant of the sense of derealization and try not to let it scare me anymore but it’s still something I struggle with daily.
Only recently discovered your channel and as a sufferer of health anxiety these videos are refreshing. When you were talking about the brain tumour it felt so similar to me, not a brain tumour but other things but comparisons in the same direction. Definitely keep watching your videos.
Thank you so much for these videos. When you feel so bad physically and mentally it’s comforting to know you’re not at least alone
Great vid, I used to have anxiety/panic and the vision problem you addressed. It really sucked! I'm a bit older now but still have problems from time to time. Only thing I can add is the worst parts kinda lessen with age, probly never totally, but try not to dwell on it, just makes it worse. Life is shorter than you think so try to live it best you can, however you can! You are a beautiful girl btw!😉
I experience these symptoms exactly as you described! The weird vision, eye pressure, light sensitivity, all contribute to dp/dr and its awful. Thank you for this reassuring video!
Solution?
You’re so good at explaining these feelings. Please continue. You have a talent for it
So glad for your videos they help me alor of thing I hate as well is the feeling weak throughout body ☹️
Thank you for sharing your story. I m going to Optometrist again next week and I just had an exam with extra testing about 1 month ago and new glasses being made. But an issue going on and started approx. Yesterday, so I'm going to go just to be sure. Stress has been off the chart for YEARS! My eyes are not to good like you mentioned about yours. God Bless You and TY for talking about this. Anxiety, Panic feeling etc..I Pray all looks good again since the exam did at that time. THANK YOU JESUS! So i am anxious now and appreciate you sharing and I know my thought process about something being SERIOUSLY WRONG is now just me thinking about those kinds of things. TY. God Bless You. I subscribed and will check in from time to time.
Exactly what I have ! Thank you ! I experience all of this (floaters, blurred vision, etc.)
Your videos might have saved many lives and it will. Just to hear that there are people with similar and a lot worse symptoms. Gives me hope that we'll live another day to tell the tale.
Thank you so much for sharing. I have been having the exact same symptoms. I thought it was something more serious. It relaxes me now to know it may not be as serious. Thank you so much!!
Hi, did you experience visual snow ? Hope you'll get better
God bless you ! I have been dealing with the exact same thing . I’ve paid for 2 expensive lengthy exams and they both came back perfect ..
Thank you so much for going into details. I’m 42 and just figured out what was happening with my vision and anxiety
Can vision be staticy in anxiety
I can definitely relate to you saying that the constant blurry vision triggers derealisation, every time I’m in the city and there’s so much going on I just completely zone out and feel like I can’t think straight.
It's like we're the same person, right down to symptoms, how you described things, the self diagnosis. Everything
Yes yes yes to all of this!
My goodness trying to explain this to my doctor and optician is really hard.
Same shit happend to me
thank you so much for talking about it. having had a traumatic childhood i'm still learning to cope. my constant eye issues have made me feel so isolated and more anxious. i hope everyone going through chronic anxiety learns about the links between it an vision related issues.
I have awful health anxiety, And when ever I think I have cancer when I get a new symptom I always come to this channel and it calms me down. I do not think you realize how many people you have helped who are struggling with health anxiety.
same mate. I have awful health anxeity too. its so bad lol. I have eye floaters as well. I've had them since January of this year
@@TommyBlackTB do they ho
Go
Me too. Literally whenever I think it’s worse than it is, I freak out to the max!!!
Thank u for this video. I been dealing with it for 3 yrs trauma anxiety stress is the caused
Just recently went through all these weird eye problems you described. Very scary……after about two weeks they seem to have calmed down. Never thought they could have been anxiety induced. So glad to see your video! I also got some help from eye doctor.
Do you ever feel like when you look at an object or something in front of you it looks like it’s slightly moving and sometimes in your peripheral vision it looks like something is moving, it freaks me out.
Yes 🙌
Yup
Yes!! I thought I was the only one
yes!
🙋🏿♂️
Very good and informative. Thank you.
Everything you said is exactly how I feel. It’s hard to type right now obviously but yes if you’re reading this I have this too right now and yes it’s absolutely freaking me out
I've been under significant stress for several years. Flashes, Blurred Vision, Double Vision, Dizziness, Feeling of FLoating, Lack of focus, Confusion, WTFness, Vertigo. Nothing found in the brain, neck pain.
Did you recovered?
This is me right now
@@crystalH30how are you now?
@@runjunr8329 me rn too😢
same here i have muscle spasm now
Love u for this...I experience same issue...thank u dear God sent angel❤
thank you for this ❤
Yes your vision definitely fluctuates. Nice hair by way 👍
Im glad I’m not alone :) I feel like I see ppl far or close it’s scary
Thank you so so much for this video. It really helps to know I am not alone. I have struggled with serve health anxiety about my eyesight for years. It gets me down so much sometimes I get sucidal thoughts because I get so scared.
Please stay strong and remember you’re not the only person on the world who goes through this
@@Melissa-rb6ct thank you for your kind words 🤍
Anxiety has hit me hard for the past year. I have had an instance like cherelle where i felt disconnected. I went into a dollar general and felt like i was in 3rd person mode. I didn’t feel like myself, and i had so many headaches and eye pains it was awful. I also have random black dots that’ll flash for a split second and disappear throughout the day, sometimes it’s hard to keep my eyes focused, and sometimes i get tunnel vision. This video is definitely a great tool for those that freak out about visual symptoms. Great job as always.
How are you now?
@@AjCanda i feel fantastic now!
@@dennisparrottjr.889 did the headaches go away? How did you get over it? I hope I’ll get better very soon, man.
@@AjCanda yep mine finally went away. It’ll get better dont worry
@@dennisparrottjr.889 thanks Dennis. One more question, how long did you have headaches and/ or dizziness? I am suffering from teeth clenching too. Thanks and hoping all the best!
Thank you for this video
Just read this for the first time. It's me right down to the floaters. I liked that you used the word temporarily.
Please say me how to overcome it I have lost all the hopes
@@Mr.X898 You need Jesus
Good video ! It sure helped me being I relate to almost all of it , I know everyone is different in recovery but if ya don’t mind , how long did you have dpdr and was it constant ? Where were your headaches
These videos are so helpful thank you. I'm always blaming my glasses and I'm also always at the opticians .
Super helpful video. Thank you
You are very welcome. ❤️
I do ,it's scary got new glasses last week, trying to get use to them, always wore contacts, got some more as well, everything is better
Thanks for this video, I also suffer from eye problem with my anxiety.
Wat are the symptoms you have
What symptoms you have? Are you feeling better?
This describes my vision problems from depersonalization to a T! Its a really important reminder that the vision problems will alleviate once the anxiety goes.
Your vision problems are gone
@@Riseandrollin yes!
@@JimPetersenMedia can i talk with you directly
@@gyanaranjan3268 yes sure, do you want to send me your email?
@@JimPetersenMedia yes sir...
Yes, you explained it perfectly. I am dealing with it now. It doesn’t freak me out as much anymore however it is very exhausting.
This really hits home. Ever since I first fell into the cycle this April...i've been having severed DPDR and 27/4 blurry visions + double vision. I went to my optometrist 4 times and 4 MRIs....and they said it's nothing. I hope to heal soon...sigh
so scary.
for about a year i had to wear glasses with a prescription waaaay higher than i ever expected as i was told i had an astigmatism. now that i am anxious way less of the time i no longer wear them, it's weird. side note, love the shirt
About 8 months ago I noticed my jaw was shaking and tremoring ever so slightly. What turned out to eventually be a Jaw issue (TMJ Dysfunction) spiralled and snowballed into 5/6 months worth of pent up anxiety. I got really hot rashes, eye floaters, grainy and poor night vision, headaches you name it. It’s only in the last 6 weeks I’ve understood it to all be anxiety related and slowly but surely reigning them back under control. This video was so good at just bringing me back down to earth ❤
How was you rn? i have the same issues eye floaters,grainy vision etch .
How is your situation now
9am and this is happening to me for the first time and yes, can’t tell if my vision is blurred or double. Wow this is scary but your video has calmed me down.
Same bro i dont know if its blurred or double vision
The moment i open my eyes after sleeping my eyes double or blurred😂
Omg yes!!!!! Yes! I can't explain what's wrong with my eyes and I dont know if I have depersonalization or blurry vision or what. I cant explain it
ive had vision changes after an (i assume) concussion and thats what im feeling. it feels like things just arent right with my peripheral or its brain fog. I was wondering if things are good with you now
So glad i found this video, i actually just came back from the supermarket, i had exactly the same symptoms, couldn't focus, felt like my eyes were being pushed out of my skull or something whilst feeling totally disconnected/detached-like i wasn't there, have you every had that? such a scary experience! i usually only get this when i'm in a depressive episode, also i get a lot of brain fog every month, i think it has something to do with my depression, so annoying. Did you ever take meds?
I get very blurry vision, especially when I drive strange and it is scary
Thank you so much
I feel this way a lot and I still can’t get over it yet …
Thanks cause I had someone told me it Anxiety that’s making it worse .. although I still feel this way I just need to calm myself down and lower my anxiety… please I need more personal talk out we are feeling just exactly the same and I want solution more
Thank you for this video.. my eyes are having too much pressure now due to anxiety.. it’s my first time.. :(
How are you feeling?
This hit me. I started thinking I was having cognitive issues of recognizing things. That sent me in the spiral of dementia etc. this video helped a lot
Thanks a lot sis
i have dry eyes , light sensitivity, blurry vision, sometimes small flashes of light , at night when i'm driving the car lights bother my eyes i see them so bright ... my anxiety been so bad this past months , i don't know if my vision problems come from my anxiety or my low ferritin
Thank you for sharing this! How did you start healing extreme anxiety?
Hi Cherelle ! Thank u so much for making this video!! It's so nice having someone to relate to. I have experienced lot of vision symptoms with my recent onset of severe anxiety. I wanted to ask you whether you have ever experienced ringing in the ears as a symptom of anxiety? Or any hearing-related things (eg. sensitive hearing)?
I have ringing in ears and it freaks me out.
Yes tinnititus is a very common symptom of anxiety
Talia, my anxiety started a sound in my right ear. It is called tinitus(sure that's not spelt right) don't hear it during day time but at night. The more anxiety the stronger it is. Not a ringing noise but the sound like rushing wind. It's over and over like your heart beating fast. I had no other option but to accept it. Doesn't take it away but helps tone down the anxiety.
@@annecampbell2950 yes!! I’ve had ringing and the wind sensation.. my hearing feels blocked when it happens.. it’s scary
@@veepee_xo9868 hope you get help soon. They say if the anxiety is dealt with this symptom goes away. I have had this every night for about 3mths except one night last week when I felt a bit better and realised there wasn't any noise. It was only one night but it's better than none. So I hold on to that.
My vision symptoms are constant. Blurred double, after images, you name it! Makes it hard to believe it's anxiety causing it. My doctor says it is. I've had MRI's etc. Nothing there.
Same here. Also, my colors have slightly red shifted.
Same here! Mine started around age 26 I just turned 29 :/ I hate it
Me too
Look up binocular vision disfunction. This case BVD causes a misaligned vision and as a result your brain is overwhelmed and has a constant trigger for anxiety. Look it up
@@LevDarratOliveInducedPhsycosi you should stop googling.
I am new to anxiety which was brought on by an accident. Experiencing light flashes, trinities and lightheaded and depersonalization symptoms was difficult for me because since I fell and hit my head I thought maybe there was a head injury even though the hospital did all the tests necessary to clear that possibility out. Anyway I am feeling much better because I took the time to educate myself on trauma and anxiety, and videos like these have helped me to understand anxiety and how I can be more proactive in my well-being. Thank you.
I’ve been dealing with flashes daily, how are you doing now? Hopefully we’ll 😊
@@anxietykidd9373 Did you get your eyes checked
Yes I did and it came out fine.
Hi did you have visual snow, and if so how long ?
@@anxietykidd9373Did anxiety cause you visual snow ? Hope you're well
Very true I have the same symptoms especially the in the supermarket
Hello, I’ve had the exact same thing as you for many years. The symptoms caused severe anxiety and obsession that I was going crazy bc I too had the derealization/depersonalization. These symptoms don’t really scare me anymore, they are more just annoying.
I’ve come a really far way with my anxiety thanks to books by Dr. Claire Weekes, notably peace from nervous suffering and hope and help for your nerves. I highly recommend checking out her work.
Yes I to healed from panic attacks with her book
@sara-oi8sj
@sarahfleiss would you like to be friends? I’m looking to connect with someone who is dealing or who has dealt with these same issues?
Im not aloneeee😢😢😢😢 ive had terrible vision after having super high anxiety everyday for about 9 months ... ive had brightness issues ... then it came with night vision problems ... headaches neck pain the feeling of loose ligaments
.. and terrible digestion.. n it does not go away with rest ... im living in this horror... it has literally taken everything from me 😞😞 thank u for sharing
Hi how are you now? I hope your doing fine a bit atleast and I wish god makes you suffer less buddy. I have had brightness issue. Did you feel like your always in dim light like whole world turned off lights a bit. How many days did u have. Anything helped? Did doc diagnose anything at all?
@@roopaofficial5633 i went to countless doctor visits ... all bloods arr normal blood pressure heart rates and everything else is fine.... x rays came back normal.... only thing ive had was low B12 n thats because of the brain fog that this has caused.... i pray everyday and im starting see changes.... its like your living in your own reality and your still forced to go with the speed of the word so u dont get left behind... ive had some improvements after changing the way i look at things... still feel like shit tho but im staying positive
But ive put together a portfoldio which can help... pray every single day ... dont miss... get 2 glasses of lemon water to start your day for 2 weeks go and exercise even if its just for ah 15 minute walk .... do journaling... cut out processed and sugary foods as much as possible .... limit screen time and try to go to bed by 8:30 no screen time an hr before bed .... read a book.... look at funny videos.... meet up with ah friend when u can ... and every negative thought that comes by... try hard to change to the bright side.... endorphins is a neccessity for recovery... hope u get better budd
@@lemuelwilliams1205 Thank you for your valuable answer and the journaling and every input. I shall do all this. Hey can I ask one more qsn: Did your DIM VISION/ decreased vision become normal now? what helped? Regarding B12, I did not understand.. did it help you improve something...
In my case I feel the dim vision improved a bit, but I think what helped is becaused i slept a lot next 3 days and wore computer 0 powered glasses that had anti light reflection, and then stopped using laptop much but on mobile with the glasses.. retrospecting I keep thinking it could be muscle imbalance in the eyes and did you see differrnce with glasses if you were prescribed one..
I also had cut lot of junk as you said.. it seems to help but more with sleep and glasses and bought ASHWAGANDHA.. I wanted to point this out, that if we use ashwagandha continuously i dono the effects but i just used it for 3 to 4 days to be safe..
I used to get the flashing lights but now it’s just my left eye that has a bit of a round shadow.
omfg this video is so accurate!!
I believe I'm going through the same things currently. I've been diagnosed with Social Anxiety, General Anxiety, and very mild Paranoia. I get panic attacks too. I probably could add health anxiety to that list now too.
Over the years, i slowly realized i was getting more anxious. I have had glasses since i was 9 so vision was always something i take note of. So naturally a year ago i noticed i felt a little weird, my eyes feeling a little strained at times and waking up feeling like rubbish.
But a little over a month ago, it suddenly started getting very bad. I don't know what exactly triggered it, but i got an intense brain fog. I couldn't think straight. My vision got all cloudy, and i felt like i was under water. I got so confused and forgetful that I'd even slur words or lose track of what i jist said sentence ago. Naturally i also had nausea, stomach aches, and headaches.
It was intensely scary. I felt like i was dying. Luckily that super intense brain fog went away after 3 days, but it had already left it's mark by then.
I was convinced i was ill, that something in my body was wrong. I suspected brain tumors, nerve dsmage, macular degeneration, early dementia, or even that i was just bat shit crazy. I went to the doctor, had a load of tests done. My heart rate was fine, if not slightly elevated due to stress, i didn't have any vitamin deficiencies, my blood suger was perfect, my lungs was perfect, my thyroid levels was normal. They couldn't find any reason for my symptoms and it just made me even more scared. I got so panicked that i would snap at people, avoid people, and in an act of utter stupidity, snapped my glasses in two (which i now had to tape together 😅 how humilating)
I did notice that if i took extra amounts of B12, Vitamin C and a Mag/Cal biend i would feel a bit better and focused.
This then led me to mistakenly assume it was a nutritional issue. I did the one thing you should never to, and started taking too many vitamins and minerals. And a few days later woke up with excessive heart palpitations, worse i ever had. Turned out it was a side effect of iron overdose. So i cut out all meds except for B12, Mag/Cal, and Vitamin C, which as i mentioned did make me feel a bit better.
To flush out my body and treat my headaches, i also started taking turmeric.
It was around this time i went to a new doctor who suggested the likelihood that it was axiety related. That's when i started taking walks for exercise, listened to calming music during the night, listening to antianxiety self hypnosis sessions and meditations, doing self massages to help relax me and even a bit of aromatherapy.
It helped. But what helped me just as much, is knowing my anxiety was the cause of my suffering. The double vision, the light sensitivity, the detachment, difficulty adjusting from dark to light, or from far to close, the dry eyes, the scratchiness and tiredness every time i tried to watch tv or read a book, the confusion, the aches and pains, and all the other numerous things i was feeling. I obviously still suffer from this, and i realize it will take some time. There is bad periods where i doubt everything and feel like I'm underwater, where i look at my family and struggle to feel attached to them, but i just keep trying. I do believe that it's better now. At least better than it was, and hopefully it'll get even better.
Going to get new glasses soon, since my astigmatism seems quite worse right now. Hopefully that will also help reduce my stress.
Either way, just glad for video's like this, that literally saved my life. Hopefully others will find it useful too.
i feel you.. i have many of the things you described and am also going through severe anxiety and panic attacks rn. did it get better for you?
it's been about 5 weeks for me. I had a really bad panic attack one day with a migraine and vomiting. everything started to go away slowly after, I was in the hospital and it was all stress related. I was homeless at the time. I'm still dealing with anxiety / stress. I have had Dr apps and do have an app with an eye Dr to hopefully get this resolved. it's definitely really scary. I keep telling self due to the anxiety "it's uncomfortable but it's just a feeling" and trying to do deep breathing in through the nose out through the mouth. it's rough. if I occupy myself sometimes I dont notice it. currently trying to get rid of the anxiety and stressers
How are you now?
Im having these problems. I went to eye dr. And they gave me glasses. I can see better but im still having these problems. My blood pressure is good. I been extremely anxious the last 6 months. It's crazy.
Ive been extremely stressed recently and have been experiencing blurred vision when reading txt on phone ect?
I used to have common eyelid twitchings and some temporal blurred vision.
I recently developed astigmatism and I swear it’s related to my anxiety. It’s definitely worse when my anxiety is high and it makes me feel like I need a new prescription. When my anxiety is really high I also have a hard time focusing on objects, I’ll see everything clearly but I have a hard time focusing in on one thing in particular and it’s very frustrating. I also get floaters
Do you have nearsightedness, do you see glares without specs as well?
Same
How are you know. I had the same problem. I can't focus any object when my eyes get stressed like when i do near work. I used my laptop for 5 mins and this happened its not blur but like something stopping me from looking at the object beyond a distance right? How did you cope with it?
Do not worry the same shit hapoend to me but this astigmatism goes away by time don t worry
Thank you for this video did u have visual snow and 2d flat vision I have had this for many years looking for some kind of healing
Thank you for your video. I was on SSRIs for about 9 years, this year I decided to come off. About 4 months ago I was able to finally jump off my medication. 2 months into being off I started to feel as if there was something wrong with my vision. Sort of felt as if It was dimmer not really sure how to describe it. I'm beginning to think that I'm still dealing with anxiety, although I don't have any mental symptoms or at least I can't feel them I believe that my anxiety is coming through physically.
Same when I came off my adhd medication
I know what you mean....even though i am not on any med but i have exact same thing after one panic attack....Neuro prescribed anxiety med but i dont have any anxiety and i dont think any med can fix this issue in long run...i am trying wholistic approach to fix this
How is your dim vision now? I had it for 15 days. I keep wondering why. I did have less sleep those days. It felt like the world almost turned off the lights on me
I get eye issues terribly in my workplace. I've spoken to my managers about my anxiety condition and they try to find me the best computer they can that doesn't affect my eyes from the lights or reflect off my glasses. I think wearing glasses make my anxiety worse actually cause of all the reflections setting me off. But at the end of the day i don't want to be a burdon, which is what it feels like. I'm hoping to get a new job soon and I';m worried these issues will persist there too. HELP!!
I keep having thoughts that i'm gonna go crazy, develop schizophrenia (not from anxiety, but that im just predisposed to it), or have a psychotic episode.
Then, what mostly keeps these thoughts ''valid'', is the fact that i keep having visual disturbances, as well as brain fog and depersonalization, which then makes me feel i cant trust me own eyes anymore, and the DP in turn makes me feel like im losing touch of reality.
Sometimes i'm basically completely normal/calm sometimes, but when i think back to when i had a high anxiety period, it feels more like a fever dream than an actual memory, which makes me think the lines are blurring between reality and delusions.
thats what scares me the most right now, and its hard to overcome
I’ve never related to a comment more in my life I litterally thought I was going crazy and that I was the only one feeling like this
@@cthulu612 you aren't, and the funny thing is, everybody that suffers from it is very similar, but the miniscule differences make us think we're special (i guess atleast) and thats what makes it so hard to accept that it probably just is anxiety
I had a mental breakdown in February so the dr put me on celexa and Seroquel. I had every symptom under the sun before starting the meds my anxiety was sky high but never eye issues. Shortly after starting the meds I had a slight blur in my vision and after 4 months I stopped taking them. Shortly after I stopped I noticed I was super sensitive to light and my vision was much worse with the blur and I had a strange motion sickness going on. Its been 11 weeks almost 3 months and my eyes are worse then ever, I can't even watch tv or go to the supermarket as the lights cause my eyes to get really blurry and my right one is somehow worse. The eye doctors have said my eyes are in tiptop condition but everyday I panic and worry about how bad my light sensitivity and blurry vision is. Even the motion sickness remains and everything seems strange to look at it's so scary. I keep watching this video to try and reassure myself it's probably anxiety and yes I have bad anxiety that's what put me on the pills but I'm so scared I just want to see clearly again
This is exactly what’s happening to me after I got off of my medication‘s. Effexor. The lights at the supermarket hurt, the light outside hurts, floaters every time I move my eyes. Now it’s just making me even more depressed and anxious than I was before
@@jonathanpape3704 I'm sorry this is happening, I hope things improve for you soon
Hello!
Thank you for sharing this, helped we to be more calm and sure, that this will pass!
Wanted to ask, for how long you were experiencing this? Thank you!
Hi, Did you get visual snow by any chance because of anxiety ?
@@mouhannedazaza5637, yes, of course. I sometimes have it more, sometimes less. What else do you feel?
@@andrewkarpyn785 right now im at my lowest, brain fog, chronic fatigue, eye problems, some neck pain, jerks in my hand, dpdr, troubles swallowing, but i think i'm on the path to recovery !
Does anyone else just get this symptom where it's like your vision just seems like far away? Like everything is clear but everything just looks far away.
Yes like when i talk to mom it felt like she was sitting far away .it goes away on its own
I don’t know if something is wrong with me but mine get extremely sharp and I see detail in everything like looking at a box I’ll see details in the writing on the box and it will look so realistic and shadows will look almost so real I can touch them and pick them up but my mind is like fighting with myself saying I can’t pick up ur shadow that’s absolutely nuts and my mind goes into this screaming panic attack because I can’t think straight I’m thinking I’m hallucinating but everything I’m seeings there it’s just all in this almost ultra high def mode
Eye floaters have really destroyed my life. In the space of two years I've gone from mountain climbing and very social to a shut in. Thank god for vitrectomy now being accessible.
You had FOV?
I'm 24 and started having floaters last year. They have been the cause for my health anxiety. They freak me out so much
Are they still ther please help me
@@Mr.X898 yep! But I feel much better about it now
@@MrBillybob359 please help me I'm dying what can I do to make them disappear please help me what have helped you
There's nothing you can do. Only thing that's helped me is trying to forget about it
@@MrBillybob359 do you see eye flashes btw
Now I know what is my problem when my anxiety is high my eyes are blurry they feel like they're dry and glue and it sucks
Binocular vision disfucntion (BVD) this causes vision problems like sensitivity to light. Blurry vague vision double vision even and as a result of that your brain gets overwhelmed thus creating constatnt anxiety because the trigger (BVD) is there 24/7 so it looks like you have anxiety without a specific trigger.
Don't waste your money on that. Been there done that.. The brain learns to compensate remember.. The steady coach RUclips channel mention this in one of her you tube videos
Yes my vision has been effected, I'm on Sertraline 1 week and been of Uni for 2 weeks, anxiety can cause a lot of problems
Did you experience visual snow ?
@@mouhannedazaza5637 How are you? I think I’m experiencing it in a mild form and it‘s driving me crazy… i notice it only on certain surfaces and in very dark rooms when I’m in bed at night. When i dont think about it a didnt notice it…
Thanks for the great explanation. For some time now Ive been getting eye symptoms, the worst at one time when i saw black shade on half of everything, like i would look at someone and cant see half of their face, was black blurry... And recently before sleeping and just when waking up I notice small blue spot flashes that appear as dots or a thing line. Also black spots that float while my eyes are closed. Is tht related to an anxious state of hyperstimulation of Anxiety? I would really appreciate your feedback, cheers
I have woke up a few times and my heart has been racing and my eye I can't see out of it and it's like I can see my veins in my eye with like blue flashing through the veins. I've been too neuro ophthalmologist and they said everything seems fine. Anxiety is crazy. Hope your good. God bless
When I wake up I usually see black dots. I have anxiety as well.
@@dpcsfecmcc2679 literally just experienced it today
Here in comment everyone talking about how their symptoms are relatable but no one talking about actual treatment, If they did something that improved the condition. Just knowing the related symptoms may give peace of mind for a time but eventually the treatment is required
From the brain tumour and MS part I am currently experiencing what you went through. I am trying to control them right now. Any tips? What keeps me sane is knowing that usually vision disturbances that are caused by anxiety are temporary
I didn’t think I was anxious but I think I’ve skipped anxiety and gone straight to overwhelm; the past two days have seen my eyes not being able to focus whatsoever. I can still read things but it’s like my eyes have totally zoned out, like when you get locked in a stare or a daydream and I can’t bring them back into focus no matter what I do. I’m so embarrassed because I know people can tell when they look at me- I have a job where I have to focus intensely on people for an hour at a time and it looks as though I’ve drifted off somewhere. I’m trying to remain calm and self compassionate but I want this to be over because it’s a really horrible feeling.
you described my situation with every word...same thing going on with me for 3 months....started with a mild concussion and now the only symptom is a vision where i can see everything but feels like I can't focus on anything...situtation become worse in airport, malls and other busy places..how are you now? u seen any improvement in last 2 months?
Hiya, it’s horrible isn’t it?! Mine improved for the most part and definitely gets worse again when I’m tired. It’s So hard not to get even more stressed out by it when it’s happening but as much as you can, try to breathe deeply and relax and tell yourself you’re okay and that this will pass. I hope you got checked out after your concussion though? And I hope it passes for you too!
I have recent throbbing on my eye (either left or right), come and go in a split second, visited a doctor and was given eye drops for dry eyes. I suspected anxiety since recently I experienced something like a lump that stuck in my throat.. I'm trying to relieve some stress or anxiety by going walking around, window shopping and some light exercises, hope it gets better over time ^^
@Oreo Donuts but I felt the pain/discomfort, does it associated with eye twitch? Thanks!
I have anxiety and depression.and my eyes are effected first at age of 19.i am sensitive to light.having yelloish light vision and some time very very dim and low intensity of vision. Still I manage to do my job with screen time 8 hrs every day with having g a black tint spec.and medicine helped me a lot to feel little better. They are one anti anxiety and one antidepressant. My yellow vision is gone now.
Hi pls reply.. i suffered dim vision..what about dim vision. Did it improve? Can i ask if you slept well when yiur vision got dimmer? Did doctor prescribe glasses and it got better (myopia?)? Was it eye fatigue or strain and Blue light filter helped in your glasses? How long did it stay? what medicine did u use - names
I put eye drops in my eyes and I do not work at all I hate having anxiety it changed my whole life
Same here... its aweful
I was diagnosed with ketraconus last year my vision of a day is clear with glasses but night time i get extreme ghosting and lately have developed a sensitivity to light mainly in my right eye supermarket shelves and straight lines seem to wobble its so frustrating
Wow interesting! My dad has kerataconus and had a corneal transplant three years ago!
@@cherellethinks thats what i fear the most is a transplant
How is his sight nowadays
I got CSR in my eyes because of anxiety. Straight lines appears wavey, there is a dark brown spot at center of vision. Trying yoga now.
I have chronic CSR. Did the yoga help it clear up?
What about eye muscle pain?
Does anyone get coloured dots in there floaters
Very beautiful
My vision gets worse eyes start to water and i feel tired was ever time i got anxious but now i feel it's every day
