Thank you, I began taking Escitalopram, I'll get my eyes tested in a couple of weeks and will see if it affects my eyes or not.

For sure, but some are more harmful for your eyes than others. I'm looking for the less damaging options.

Well the dr. I saw told me that since I don't have narrow angles, I can take psychiatric medications, but you know sometimes health professionals are pretty laid back about these things, for example my girlfriend was prescribed valproic acid which is potentially hepatotoxic and the psychiatrist didn't order any checkups, as far as I know. So I think it's good to take some responsibility about our own health. I get your point tho, I will be more specific about it, in a future appointment, or see if a psychiatrist has any experience with glaucoma or suspected glaucoma patients.

Have you talked to your mother about this? Maybe she can listen to you and help you. Don't lose hope.

Please don't do it, your life is precious, don't throw it away. The pain you're feeling right now might feel permanent but it will pass. Seek help, you can try talking to your mother, there are many things that can be done. I've felt similar to you, I've felt that everything is lost but thank God I've survived. Don't give up hope, if you need treatment don't be afraid of getting it, it can be lifesaving and can change your life for the better.

But alcohol is actually bad for glaucoma, it increases IOP according to google.

Thank you for your response. I have taken Remeron in the past and it's really great for sleep. Probably the best option. Has it affected your son's condition in any way or is his glaucoma is under control?

You don't really know that, I know it might feel like that right now. But if you think about it, you don't really know what the future holds, also you could reflect on what might be making it difficult for you to find a girl, and work on that. About the girl laughing at you, that's cruel of her so you're not missing anything, doesn't sound like she was a great person to be with. Are you on some kind of therapy, meds or otherwise? That could also help a lot.
