Chicago22, I don't see you as going to pass out because of the bright lights, that is, unless your fear becomes so high that you hold your breath or hyperventilate. I do not like the

bright lights myself. I actually would rather go out on a gloomy day versus a bright sunny day where I feel that it can be too much stimulation to my brain.

In the house, I keep the window blinds closed a little or draw the curtain when it's too bright.

I have Fibromyalgia which makes me more sensitive to lights, sounds and smells.

As to what to do, if you have to, wear sunglasses in the house and when outside.

There was a time I even wore than in the big box stores because the fluorescent lighting would bother me as well as the buzzing sound it made. :) xx

I feel sorry the light is bothering you so much. I also feel increased anxiety in bright light. It seems to me that when I have a panic attack in bright artificial light, it is much more difficult for me to recover. So at home, I usually use night light amazon amazon.com/Night-Light-Plug.... This is an automatic lamp with a motion sensor. Its light is delightful. It is much easier for me to spend the evening with it and fall asleep. Fortunately, I ordered three of them at once and put them in the bedroom, the living room, and the bathroom. I think you would also like a similar night light. And if you continue to worry about anxiety and dizziness in the light, consult your doctor. A checkup wouldn't hurt.
