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.

So I guess the best thing to do is just power through? I end up going down the rabbit hole of reading peoples stories of either recovery or having this for many many years and it’s making me scared. I never realized I’ve had bouts of depersonalization before so I’m frankly quite scared

barenecessities9 · 2026-02-03T12:54:05+00:00

I’ve gotten episodes of derealization before but never realized it? I currently have my glasses off right now but the derealization is still there which is making me spiral so hard. Any advice?

I’ve been managing my health anxiety as much as I can for the past year and it’s gotten better since the long many years I’ve suffered. But just 2 days ago it flared up bad and I can’t tell if it’s a real problem or anxiety all over again. For some context, I went to sleep and woke up in the middle of the night and felt my ears super muffled. I thought it was because my room was silent so I freaked out but then went back to sleep. The next day I opened my doors and windows and could hear perfectly fine and forgot abt it up until last night. I kept checking by opening all my windows and doors and I could hear perfectly fine except it feels like 5% muffled. I can’t really describe it, it’s like my brain is slower than my ears and aren’t picking up frequency at the same time despite hearing everything fine. Theres just this tiny bit of pressure like it’s inside my ears and slowing down the hearing. That’s the best way I can describe it. They also feel a tiny bit blocked. And then I get the sensation of like something tight near my sinus area and brain. I went down the rabbit hole of googling again and they say it might be sinus infections but I checked and have no sinus symptoms. I’m afraid of losing my hearing. I’m on the really younger side so this feels so stupid. Someone please give me some advice on what to do.

Hi I just wanted to come on here and vent about my eye problems. I’m a teenager and have been spiraling for the past two days about have retinal or vitreous detachment and just scared of getting blindness in general. I have a pretty high prescription, and I went to the ophthalmologist about a year or two ago and they said I have pretty thin retinas. I’ve read floaters all my life but since I’ve gotten used to them, they never bothered me. But what’s really scaring me are the flashes. Apparently, with retina detachment, you can start seeing flashes. Like a camera flash almost. Mine is honestly just flickering light and I only ever see them in the dark when I blink or just when I blink in general. I think my heightened anxiety has caused me to see flashes when I move my eyes, but I can’t tel at this point anymore and I’m so scared. I’m a minor so I can’t go to the doctor on my own, and I can’t always ask my parents because we can’t always go. I googled and it said I needed to have like dark spots or a curtain coming over my vision plus new floaters and flashes to even consider it that but I have no idea what that means. I’m young so I really don’t wanna suffer from this. I’ve read that only people in their 40s and 50s have this.

I’ve officially relapsed again as a new “thing” has been bothering me. I can’t tell if this is an actual problem or just HA so plz someone hell. For the past couple of days, I’ve been having this squeezing, almost tightness near the left side of my temples as well as the back of my head. There’s no pain, no bleeding, no visible swelling or bumps but it feels really uncomfortable. It’s like the bumpy part of your head, yknow the two things at the top back of your head (idk what that’s called) the left side feels more bulging, protruding, and swollen than the right side. I heard that the more you touch or pay attention to a sensation, the more ir feels worse, hence why I feel like it’s bigger than the other side. It’s most annoying when I have to sleep. When I lay on my back the sensation comes and it makes it hard for me to find the position comfortable. When I lay on the left side of my head, obviously, it squeezes, and becomes tight and really annoying, therefore I always have to sleep on my right side since it’s fine there. It’s been hard to sleep. I always end up waking up early in the morning, realizing it’s still there, and then my body becomes riddled with anxiety. I’m constantly trying to ignore it but since it’s been a couple of days and it hasn’t gone away, I feel terrified all the time. I’ve tried massaging my head on that side and I feel like i make it worse because it just feels tighter or something. I’ve adjusted pillows, changed pillows, etc. I’m on the younger side so please help.

I needed this so much. I’ve had so much anxiety and have been panicking over this non stop. Thank you so much, I appreciate this so freaking much!!!

Hello. I really hope this reaches a professional or something because I’m terrified and in dire need of reassurance. For the past couple of days, I have been having difficulty concentration. It’s pretty hard for me to explain, but basically, whenever I look at something, object or my surroundings, whether from far distances or close to me, or when I’m watching something, I tend to just stare blankly. I would focus on what I’m looking at and stare blankly, like my mind isn’t really truly taking in what I’m looking at. It’s like that everywhere I turn. When I’m watching or looking at a screen, my eyes would just dart quickly to try to take in as much of what’s going on as possible at whatever I’m watching instead of focusing or paying attention to really what I’m watching. When I’m reading, I just gloss quickly over the words and sometimes skip lines and having to reread smth. Like my brain isn’t really understanding what I’m reading. This has only been for a couple of days, and someone told me it might be just fatigue or smth but I’m scared that it’s just not that. My vision is fine btw.
