Hi since i got my anxiety i have sufferd from really bad vision, and its also making me feel spaced out. Is this a normal anxiety symptom or is this somthing different? - This spaced out bit is really scaring me. And it seems to be more at night time when its dark and stuff

Hi,

What do you mean by bad vision? When I'm anxious I notice when it's darker that things seem a bit fuzzy, like around my vision it looks like splotchy colours n stuff. But I think that's because your awareness is heightened because you're anxious so you're noticing stuff that normally wouldn't bother you. Try catching yourself off guard when you're not anxious and notice your vision. You'll probably start to see things because you're looking for them. Also I get a spaced out feeling a lot. I find chilling out and watching a movie or something helps. (Not horror or something!!)

I will try it thnx, another thing i feel.. i keep going light headed, Expecially when i play this action/war game online. I find i go all light headed then, not sure what it is really panicking me though.

Playing an action/war game will probably stress you out in some way. You're probably more prone to stress at the moment because of your anxiety. I get light-headed a lot too. If you're worried go check it out with a doctor. They can do blood tests to rule out anything serious. They can check your blood sugar levels too which can make you feel light-headed. Good luck...
