Anxiety from eye problems?

Throw in optic nerve pallor a but if oerioheral visiin loss and i do feel your agony! Im so sorry and yes it is so scary. I do love to see so much. Theres the  the miracle of eyesight. I saw a nuero opthamologist for a year not back every six months to the opthamologist. I take one day at a time. In the morning i open my eyes and im so grateful  i see the beautiful world. Hard to even get any therapy to handle this anxiety because they feel bad too. I closely follow research. They seem to say how wonderful technology is and all the stuff they do just need to the forefront. They on ten years this will be released and so on..i use vision suppliments. Billberry very healthy for the eyes.i was freaking out on so many occasions from it, every illness i worry about it. Its bad. Then i said i cant do this so much because im raising my bp being so anxiety ridden, so I remind myself of this each time to calm down asap. I can relate hugely and im 48, i know you are few years up i believe from the eye forum. Look all we can do is stay calm (haha but really), eat whatevers good for the eyes, use refresh drops or whatever your using so they dont get dry and audiobooks instead of reading. I had a bunch of issues and then when i got the optic nerve pallor i think a year later holy jeez i get the fear. Throw in anxiety they all started testing me for ms and tumors it was a mess. The consensus was i had a virus and it got in there and did some issues. Whether it was mono from a long time ago or viral labrythitis i had in 2007 they dont know. Some tech test veet showed they are stabile not ms.the scans showed an issue with one eye scary these things pick uo everything but still all working and stabile. I get the strangest crap though. Lights, circles if im tired it gets weirder.one eye sees dimmer and less of a field..so much to it. Then i say i can see. I can see and i am grateful. I constantly play close one eye game with myself. Constantly. We need technology to improve and improve very very fast. I wrote to some woman in another country doing work on it supposedly renoun she wrote back still not fix but trying to find one. I was shicked she wrote back. All we can do is be extremely grateful and pray and hope. I can relate to your fears, i can relate to your anxiety. My world revolved around this at times, this and i have some damn tinnitus thing. I changed my lifestyle for it. Eat right, wear sunglasses..etc.. Cloudy days or flourescent lighting makes a very interesting visual experience. Thats for sure. I can use no form of anxiety meds or anything. I use an emergency xanax, and i mean emergency only. Ssris effect the eyes so has to be handled with care. Those meds didnt work with me anyway and id be so insanely scared of them it wouldnt go well. It all just showed up out of nowhere! I go to eyes doctors yearly. It just happened after a hurricane actually, but just happened. Wishing you all the best and all the healing. 

Ahhh keeps going to moderation. I know how you feel way too well i also have optic nerve pallor with peripheral vision issues as well as pvd issues. Unbelievably scary! All weird vision things occur. All light things happen at times, so scary. If im tired its horrific. All terribly scary. I am thankful everyday i can see. I love to see. I constantly play the close one eye what can i see game myself. When i get ill i freak i want it uneffected. Its just a lot to deal with.  Sorry if all of a sudden it gets out of moderation it will very long haha.

Hello, I have pvd too, and also short sight  as well. Flashes etc are very scary and make me very anxious and that just makes my vision worse. I'm to,d they settle in a few mobths. But my eyes are very light sensitive too prob due to the panic about it all. I stRted with really sudden headaches that gave now subsided a bit. Was given amitriptyline which helped calm me down a lot but that seemed enhance my vision probs. So have cone off yhat now doc given me sertraline. Very unsure about taking it.im only anxious about the pvd and symptoms if they go I'm sure I will calm down.  

I always wake up with a start and light sensitivity seems worse at this time. Don't sleep well and wake a lot and can't seem to relax, inside I do t feel relaxed at all. 

Trying acupuncture for anxiety and headaches and physiology next week,   Don't really like taking Meds as so many side effects . It just takes over in your head
