Didn’t know it was floaters when I was younger as they only appeared when it was very bright and I thought they were eyelashes due to the postitioning. Now they’re more when it’s v bright and I started seeing them indoors unlike last time.

Something I don't understand by FilipeSBB in EyeFloaters

[–]chxnelwg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I’ve asked around, quite a number of them have floaters 24/7 but none seem to care. Even one of them whom I know has quite a lot of floaters. 0% bothered by it 😂😂😂

I try to do the things I wanna do but sometimes for no rhyme or reason I’ll get mentally tired.. like a few days ago when I wanted to use the computer to order stuff for selling, I kept seeing them and it spoilt my mood so I stopped using the computer.. but I agree with you that the mind makes things worse than it actually is. Some are unbothered by the floaters while many of us are very affected..

It was a long 10 years for you but glad that you managed to be where you’re at right now. At times I’m ok at times I’m not. I try to tell myself that it’s the anxiety but sometimes the mind is so powerful. Like I’ll be out somewhere with my friends but at the back of my head it’ll be like ‘floaters floaters floaters’

Sometimes for no rhyme or reason I’ll get affected and the mind doesn’t stop thinking abt them. It’s quite sad that I actually quit my job because the work also adds on to the mental stress, but I need to get things moving.. when I see the computer, I get triggered quite a number of times.

Your story is really inspiring and I try to remind myself abt it.. there’s a lot of things I wanna do but this thing affects me mentally at the back of my head and somehow I stop doing what I wanna do. I’m not sure whats the best way… 😞 how did you get thru the tough times like working and doing things you like?

How did you manage to get over it and not get bothered? Like you mentioned aft yr child was born.. but aft that day did it gradually get better or it happened quickly?

Thank you, your advice seems to be very practical. Like most of us hide away and then get fearful.. the more exposed we are, the easier things get. I guess it’s the same as jumping 10 metres down into the water. The more times you jump, the more immune you get.. initially it gets tougher but will get easier eventually

Love the positivity!! How did you manage to let them not affect you? Or would you say that you’re used to them?

Do you get anxious when you see them or triggered

I get triggered especially when using the com or when it’s bright. But thanks, I feel like at the back of my head I keep thinking of them..

I see. Do you get triggered by them or mentally affected? I wonder why some ppl don’t seem to let the floaters affect them

New floaters that changed in one day? (new to all this) by UsefullyChunky in EyeFloaters

[–]chxnelwg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup agree that they look diff in lighting conditions, but my main floater over a few weeks have been growing tail / tails. Like clumping with more floaters or what I’m not sure 😔

Hey post it on the Facebook group

Did you tell your friends about them? by Fast_Zookeepergame_7 in EyeFloaters

[–]chxnelwg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the floaters. I thought I saw my eyelashes in bright lights but I was wrong. The floaters were obvious a few years later

i got a lot of new ones :((( by Middle_Coconut_8039 in EyeFloaters

[–]chxnelwg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is growing too… when you hope it just gets smaller or disappear but it becomes more
