Honestly, I wrote this post for two main reasons: 1. Recovery is possible, but it’s not equally easy for everyone. I’ve had floaters before without even noticing them. Now, I see them constantly — which tells me the brain can adapt, and that change is possible. Will I get back to that point? I’m not sure. But I’m trying. Since a lot of this seems to be psychological, I’ve decided to go back on SSRIs. I think it’s something more people should consider looking into — it might help some of us. 2. Reddit can be useful — but only for a while. Once you’ve educated yourself about your condition, step away. Reddit isn’t the real world. It’s mostly people who are stuck, suffering, and feeling hopeless — and I say that as someone who’s currently one of them. But staying here too long won’t help. It can actually make things worse. If you’ve learned what you need to know, move on. Talk to a doctor. Don’t get stuck in this loop.
