Anxiety and vision issues. Any help appreciated.

[Cookie1234567]

For the past year I’ve been getting vibrating vision, especially with certain patterns/fonts/and even the back bumpers of car depending on the car color. Hell even my keys on my laptop do this. It’s like the letters/keyboard is vibrating or like I’m looking through rippling water or a heat wave. This started early in 2018. Since then I’ve had an MRI and seen an eye specialist and my regular eye doctor two weeks ago. All clear.

I’m still terrified and am worried it’ll get so bad to the point I can’t see anymore. I also have horrid health anxiety and have had it since I was 6. I’ve also had the worst year of my life. Failed an important licensing exam, lost my dog (found her finally) and have horrid, horrid work anxiety. On top of that my mom lost her long term job of 35 years so I feel awful she’s starting over at work again. I’m also scared for my wedding because I don’t want to be blind by it. It breaks my heart because I was so excited. I hate my job, but am retaking my exam in February so hopefully I can find a new one after.

I’m scared this issue is getting worse and there’s nothing I can do about it. I feel like I’m in a nightmare. I go online and read forums with people with the same issue and they never got answers. Im scared this is some sort of visual snow that will worsen (my symptom has been reported by people with Visual Snow) OR if it’s some anxiety coming out in a weird way. I can’t tell if it’s anxiety or not I truly can’t. I feel like it’s getting worse and I’m terrified. I stopped medication a few months ago and am seeing a new therapist tomorrow, but idk how that’ll help.

I have a small prescription for Xanax but that doesn’t seem to work. I got off lexapro a few months back since it wasn’t much help. It’s hard to move on because the minute I forget about my vibrating vision, I look somewhere and see it. I’m scared. And any advice would be helpful. Anything I used to do to relax is now taken away (computer, Netflix, YouTube) because the vibrating is pretty bad with some fonts on those sites. It seems to get a bit better if I lay my head down or close either one of my eyes. Barcodes are a nightmare.

I just got new glasses for astigmatism. I’ve been getting used to them for a week. They don’t seem to help. It also gets better if I close either eye-it doesn’t matter which or move my head in a certai position. Any any insight would help.

hi cookie a would like to start off by saying sorry you are going through this there isn't nothing worse than things going against with anxiety. when a have a blind panic i feel like am going to faint my vision goes blurry a cant see straight. and that wobble too its weird to explain. and it was the same for my driving exam because off it i failed the first time. then i know thats what i wanted so bad so i worked alot harder to try in control it i started off with medicating apps relaxing ones too worked on for 10 days before my next one and i passed. just keep telling your self that ur instructor wont put you forward if he/she didnt think u were ready and safe for driving. as for your wedding and everything else a do think your anxiety is playing a big part in it and your nerves too its a big thing commitment try relaxing apps work with throughout before your wedding and other things. half hour to yourself while doing the app. am here if u need to talk xx
