My experience with eye floaters

[craigcashman]

You are 100% correct. I NEVER believed that I would get use to them, but now I couldn't care less about them.

Eye floaters were the cause of my health anxiety, I was constantly checking if there were new ones and it honestly spiked up the anxiety even more. But now it's been a year since I've had them and I don't really notice them that much anymore. Going to a therapist and accepting my floaters helped a lot. At first I was always in fear but for anyone who reads this and has been worrying over their eye floaters: It really gets better! Try to figure out the root of your anxiety, because that's what makes it worse. Apparently a lot of my friends have them as well and it seems this is a very common occurrence.

Bizzare i had it suddenly when i was extremely worried about my BP for over 2 years and suddenly it went away one day because stress was reduced massively. Kill stress and see the differnece it makes. Goodluck to everyone God Bless

This is EXACTLY what happened to me to a tee. Its the hyperstimulation that made them more obvious. They were likely always there for me. Once i started healing from anxiety they faded massively.

You make me so happy to know I’m not alone. Your videos mean a lot to me. Thank you.

Such a comforting video and very timely. I am exactly like you. ANYTHING out of the ordinary I go right to the internet and try to address and then stress about. Not realizing it’s the stress itself causing all my issues. I spent the last week trying to figure out why I have eye floaters. Thinking I have a virus. I’ve been dealing with some anxiety lately so I’m pretty sure that’s the driving force behind it. Thank you for sharing all of your videos. It’s very comforting hearing it from somebody else

Same story, to a tee. Increase in floaters, flashes, sparkles, go to the eye doctor and she says my eyes are healthy, she sees the floaters there’s a lot so “let’s do another test to make sure it’s not something neurological like MS” triggered right away, had to wait a couple days for a field vision test, what’s worse is the results took like forever to come back so that whole time I kept checking my chart to see if the results came in. Came back fine but that amount of anxiety it caused thinking I had a horrible disease and the googling I did was insane. Thank you for these videos they help tremendously ❤❤❤

I developed macular degeneration with flashes and floaters after years of chronic stress looking after my ASD son. Last week I had my first cataract surgery and now the floaters have become much more obvious. I have been quite anxious thinking about having to live my life now with this flock of hundreds of flies. Your video helped me immensely and I'm so grateful that I found you this morning. I also have tinnitus and I've somehow got used to that and beyond the anxiety. It's actually the thoughts and imagination that cause the problem to be so exaggerated so that's the place to let go and get on with enjoying life. Again, thankyou so much for sharing your experience and making life easier.

Thanks for your support Cherelle. Please don't let those trolls get to you. You are so generous with your time and you have got me through some really difficult times ❤

Listening to your story has been so comforting because I feel like my story is the exact same. My floaters got worse this past year and I have had a super stressed out year. I started hyper focusing on my vision and over analyzing everything I was looking at. Then one day this August I looked up at the sky and saw like shimmering which then sent me down an anxiety spiral that I’m just starting to heal. I’ve started seeing a therapist for the first time and everything you said is so true. Thank you for this wonderful video.

4:00 I have been dealing with this exactly for a year now. I have floaters and astigmatism and it’s harder to see further away especially when driving. To the point where I have glasses now. It really was me drinking and smoking so much and eating junk food and staying up so late and stressing about life that caused me this problem. I’m changing my life but my eyes have been a problem for me. Every night I pray that they get better.

[wiscxrise]

I have a lot. All kinds of knots and webs of small bubbles and strands, even a cloudy area that passes by. I can get lost looking at them on a clear day, but then I completely forget about them and don't notice them.

[gerardmoran]

Thank you so much for this. Needed to hear this a lot right now

[БондарАнастасия-мв]

Thanks for sharing! Was just looking for your previous video that helped me cope with my obsession with floaters

[maydac.]

Mine are pretty bad on a bright sunny day so i always wear sun glasses outside and that helps A LOT. My eyes are pretty sensitive so Im just learning to live with them! Im finally over the healthy anxiety they gave me last year. Plus your channel has really helped me get through that scary time in my life. Thank you for this video!

This!! Going through the same thing... which I went through before but for some reason I can't seem to remember how I tuned out from them. 2012... loads of floaters all of a sudden and somehow just got on with it. Had them on and off for years. Felt totally free of them for years too... then this August hit my left eye... got some flashes and started to worry... was checking for flashes and new floaters all the time in that eye... then all of a sudden loads of floaters in both eyes... i'm on all the supplements you can imagine but i'm starting to realise that i'm making it worse... i know they'll go away again... or that i'll forget about them as I have before... I just wanted them to go away too quickly and have made them last longer as a consequence.

For anyone about to go down a crazy supplement, diet, detox rabbit hole... please STOP! I know they go away... either mentally or physically... Anytime in the past when I've got on about my life they disappear... and some days I remember I had' them and think "Yes they're gone and I didn't even realise" .. and when I get a flare up and try to make them go away.... they never do!

Of-course, get them checked first and live a healthy active life! Don't stop doing the things you love because your floaters annoy you... do them anyway and in time (be patient and switch off) you'll forget you even had them. It's been 4 months of me torturing myself for a cure before Christmas... and it's done me no good!

Time to forget about floater cures and get on with everything else we have in life! They're not forever... .STAY OFF REDIT... people on their are stuck in a harmful cycle and a few are definitely the exception to the rule of having daily bothersome floaters for 20 + years!

Hope this helps someone!
