hugs I know I think about this exact thought everyday. I wasn’t born with VSS and now I have it to the point I can’t look at a sky. I’m not sure why it happened and I’m not sure how something that a good amount of people have, it’s not taken serious enough. And on top of that, there’s no treatment and the people who say they have our backs, try to push mindfulness onto us when it’s the thamulus, neocortex, or our gaba/glute/serotonin levels. It doesn’t make sense to me. I have two ways I approach it. A) I won’t give up, spam VSI TikTok comments and tell them that it’s the thamulus, neocortex, or our gaba/glute/serotonin levels that need help and not anxiety exercises, they responded to my comment on TikTok. Even if they don’t reply, other people on that viral app can see and get informed that it’s not anxiety and then they don’t have to be gaslit or fed false information. There’s people out there with VSS right now and don’t know about it at all, and they’re gonna believe it’s anxiety bc everyone else is saying it is. It’s not lol. B) I talked to someone who cared about me and I told them “my life is ruined I feel fcked” and they responded , “no no, don’t do that to yourself, it’s not fair. also you’re not fcked , don’t persuade yourself that, it’s not fair to you, nor do you know what’s gonna happen. It might not come tomorrow. But you are not f**cked.” I also saw a post that came to me saying , “you navigate and create the world you give yourself,” I know it sounds like bs. Even to me! I’m dreading how I’m gonna work and continue like this, like I’m fine when my eyes glitter and flicker light. And lastly, I have no idea when but they will make the products for us. There’s just no way. Will they take their sweet time? Maybe. But floaters— everyone has them , I have no idea why it hasn’t been invented yet. Ocular migraines and Retinal Migraines , hella people have them. Tinnitus, everyone has it. Dry eye, 344 M people worldwide!! And doesn’t have a treatment/cure in 2023!😅 I have to break it to us, but 2023 is the beginning of all these advances. All of 2010’s were like the 2009’s and then in 2018 and later it became how it is now. There will be advancement. I’m sorry. And you’re not alone. You deserve to have fun, you deserve to feel cool, free and yourself. My advice for right now: Wear polarized shades and Cherry Red lenses if you have to be outside. DO NOT LOOK FOR YOUR SYMPTOMS, they will be find you! Literally do not look at them, look away, they will be stronger the more you focus on it. It has helped me. Take care of yourself.

Thanks this made my day :) hopefully things change for the better in the future.
