Minor occasional flashes in eye. Please help.

Posted , 1 user is following.

Greetings everyone. This might be a bit long but please I need your help. (The following story is off topic buy extremely detrimental to my mental health so please read it)Approximately 2 months ago I developed tinnitus(ringing ears) while i was going to sleep, I went to sleep hoping it would go away in the morning but it didn't. I immediately googled it and was horrified by the stories, Everywhere it said that it is permanent and will never go away and you have to learn to live with it. I went to doctors and they didn't tell any direct answers and just gave some medicines which didn't do much. And i went into severe depression to a point I was suicidal. Fast forward to last week I started experiencing near silence at least in the morning and that was so important to me. Just when I was coming out of depression and starting to feel better I suddenly started experiencing minor flashes occasionally(4 days earlier) I though nothing of it for a day hoping it will go until the next morning when i noticed it again which drove me crazy again. Now I am back into that severe depression again, thinking why me? why first tinnitus and now this? I went to a doctor who examined me and told me nothing looks wrong but told me to come up for another checkup after 3 Days. Please help me with this problem, and give me some assurance till when it will fade away, I will be forever grateful. Thank you for your time.
