Bright lights make me anxious and overwhelmed. Do you guys think if I go outside more and open more curtains in my house and stay in the light even if I get uncomfortable, maybe I could adapt to the light?

Hi Olivia, I may not get anxious anymore but still can't stand the bright lights..

My curtains are drawn on those bright sunny days, it just seems to bother my eyes.

I guess that's why I enjoy the rainy days xx

Try wearing sunglasses to see if that might help..

I’ll try that. I use to be really agoraphobic and I’m way better now but the lighting from stores and outside just overwhelmes me so much that I just want to go home. I have hope of getting over it though, maybe with more exposure.

I don't have this issue, but my son does. He has a sensory processing disorder so bright lights and loud noises really get to him. Exposure therapy has helped him a lot.
