I don't know why but I've been finding myself turning down my brightness a lot. Ever since I started to have anxiety about my vision (just got over digestive problems). Like I would turn it down to 50% and it would still seem bright? Why do my eyes seem so sensitive? I do have a bright light on my ceiling, right behind me but in front of my computer screen, so maybe that's why? I'm now at 25% for brightness, is that too low? I still feel it's a teensy bit bright. Help, is there something wrong with my vision? I also have been seeing flashes and spots, mainly after looking at something bright like the sun or staring at my screens. I find myself multiple times a day staring at a wall or something to try and find any flashes. I worry about them so much that I feel like I "see" them? Maybe its not even flashes because its barely noticeable and very quick. Maybe they arent even there! But the flashes I can spot are pretty mild too and go away within minutes. My stress has been very very very high and everyone keeps telling me I'm absolutely fine. Maybe I'm fine but I can't stop all of these unwanted thoughts. I keep getting digestive, brain, cardiac, bone, and now vision issues. They kinda all seem related to IBS or anxiety/stress? I'm not worrying I have CVS (Computer Vision Issue).
Katy, anxiety and stress will cause IBS flares because the gut and brain are connected. That's why Dr's call the gut "the little brain". Also I'm noticing that you're distributing signs of Hypochondriaism. You might want to talk to your Dr or therapist about it.
I actually have Hypochondria/OCD/Anxiety. My hypochrondria was diagnosed when it was around moderate and now I think it's severe....anxiety is still severe...however, OCD maybe lowered a little? I don't know, I have been so stressed and tired I don't care about being organized anymore.
Ok yes I started see the Hypocodria coming through. I think that's your most important problem right now. If you're seeing a therapist please address that because it makes everything else so much worse
I wont be able to see a therapist until mid June, about 3-4 weeks away. I went to a therapist for about a month but then I quit because of moving. Going to therapy does kinda help me but right now, my next appointment is very far away. I honesty want all of these worries to stop. I never really noticed how much more careful and concerned about my health until people started to point it out. Hypochrondria kinda runs in the family, my aunt got it and I was once constantly making fun of how she’s so worried about germs and health and all that but now, I’m probably even worse than her 😔
