Adrenaline (the main ingredient of anxiety) affects all areas of the body including the eyes. You are not in any danger.

Learn relaxation techniques, use your calm breath and tell that negative voice to take a hike. Start soothing yourself and stop believing the garbage. Your negative thinking is a bad habit and you need to stop it in its tracks. Replace with soothing self talk. Soothe yourself at all times. Come up with some good phrases that you can use that make you feel good inside. How would you talk to a small child? That is how you need to talk to yourself.

Hi Carlyboy,

I have weird vision things going on too when I'm really stressed. When any of my symptoms like this show up I just keep reminding my self over and over again that this is just a symptom of my condition, over and over again. Eventually the symptoms decrease, as stated in the program, it really does work to tell your brain you're not afraid and it's just a symptom.
