Don't worry! It's all due to anxiety. What you are experiencing is derealization. Your mind is so tired from all the anxiety and stress it goes into a sort of protective mode. Believe me it's anxiety, the more anxious you get about it it will stay, accept all these sensations and don't worry about it being a deadly disease. Take care x

That sounds rough! But yeah, once you realize it’s just your mind playing tricks on you… It should help

I’ve been feeling the same too. Most recently I’ve been feeling very dizzy and lightheaded from looking around, especially going into supermarkets, rooms with bright lights and open spaces. My eyes feel like they can’t process the information. I feel like I’m going to pass out. Over the past 6 months my eyes have been causing me a lot of problems and I’ve been to see a eye specialist and they couldn’t find anything wrong. I’m guessing it’s just anxiety.
