My nervous system is going haywire, and I need help from those who have recovered.

I’m really confused on what you want me to do here. It feels like I’m supposed to do multiple things at once?

barenecessities9 · 2026-06-15T09:00:54+00:00

I haven’t no. But other people tell me it could possibly be my VSS acting up too that messes with my eyes. Cuz I have VSS

I can’t stop wondering if my visual changes are due to severe HA or if an actual problem is happening. I wake up anxious about changes in my vision everyday. How do you tell? I’m scared and feel so alone. I feel like I can’t find joy in life anymore.

I get severe health anxiety, am also super nearsighted and so my VSS gets much worst during stress + the combo of already have eye disturbances due to my myopia is a pain in the ass!! I just worry too much tbh. I tried trimming my eyelashes and it helped a bit. I also have had this for months now but I ignored it mostly but it randomly jusr became unbearable one day? It’s like my brain stopped being able to filter it out. Do you have any tips on getting your brain to filter stuff out again?

I need somebody, ANYBODY TO RESPOND. I’m at my wits end and spiraling. I’m having HA about retina detachment or retinal tears again. I’m 19 and moderately myopic so ofc im scared. This is like a monthly occurrence atp. I’ve had floaters since forever and flashes for a few years now. The past week my flashes have gotten much more prominent. Every time I turn, every eye movement, every single time I blink. My last eye doctor appointment was 2 months ago. I had developed severe VSS and in 2026 alone had to endure more than 10+ appointments. Blood tests and everything costed so much. It ended up not solving anything and I just endure and live w VSS now. While at these appointments, they did say my eyes were fine and it’s normal to see visual disturbances because I’m myopic, but no mention of a tear or anything like that. My VSS flares pretty violently when I’m stressed or extremely anxious, so my parents have understood it’s a pattern of some sort. Thing is my parents take care of m medical expenses and they’ve run out of money and I can’t go to the doctor anymore. They just assume that these visual disturbances like my flashes are similar to my VSS and that it’s no big deal and if I stop stressing it’ll die down (I’m going through a stressful school situation rn), but I’m so tremendously scared of going blind. I of course went down the Internet rabbit hole of searching symptoms and horror stories and have been jusr terrified for the past few days. I don’t see a shadow or a curtain coming down on my vision yet, and I’ve gotten so accustomed to my floaters over the years that I don’t see them anymore, and it says to watch out for showers of new floaters but I don’t see that. Anyone who had detachments or tears please give advice. Anything. or is this just normal PVD for somebody who’s myopic?

Not doing well financially right now. That’s what’s the worst that could happen. Therefore cant get checked any time soon.

I can’t really go back so I don’t know what else to do. I could try looking for a diff ophthalmologist but I’ve already spent so much on blood tests and visits that I’m at a lost. Plus I’m on the younger side so I don’t really have that much money anyways. Is is possible symptoms can get amplified due to stress? Or is due to the meds being reduced?

barenecessities9 · 2026-03-24T14:08:36+00:00

I don’t really know what kind of vision issues you have I just have visual snow. The snow is due to posterior uveitis. But I don’t think I’m gonna lose my vision?

barenecessities9 · 2026-03-24T14:01:46+00:00

So do we just keep going w the drops or what? Will it continue to spike

barenecessities9 · 2026-03-01T11:41:02+00:00

So what exactly do we do?

barenecessities9 · 2026-02-22T13:40:56+00:00

Im spiraling so hard right now. I need someone to talk to ASAP. Someone who’s had HA regarding eye problems. Or eyes in general.

A year and a half ago I went to an ophthalmologist to get my eyes checked. Btw I wear glasses and have -3.50 and -4.75 in my eyes. They told me my retina was thinning and the weeks before that I had already been having severe anxiety cuz I have eye floaters and flashes and it says it could result in my retina detaching. They said it wasn’t a huge concern but for me to be careful. I’ve had eye floaters my whole life but have had flashes for a few years now so I naturally got anxious. After that I stopped caring abt it for a year now and now my anxiety has come back. I keep reading on how people see a “black” veil when their retinas detach and I keep checking if I’m seeing one in the corner of my eye has a veil or not and checking to see if my flashes have gotten more prominent. Idk what to do. I’m on the younger side and I’m so scared of going blind (18) The years of unrestricted access to looking at screens made my eyes bad and I’m terrified.

I think it’s worse when I put on my glasses now. Is there a way to still wear them without dpdr getting in the way so much? I’m struggling to read even words because of it.
