Anyone else experiencing eye symptoms with anxiety disorder?

Hi AnxietyAware, thanks for sharing your question with our community. It's not uncommon for people with anxiety disorder to experience physical symptoms, including eye-related ones. Some people report feeling eye strain, blurry vision, or even eye twitching. These symptoms can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress and muscle tension. It might be helpful to try some relaxation techniques, like deep breathing or meditation, to see if that helps alleviate your symptoms. Of course, if your symptoms persist or worsen, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation.

I totally understand where you're coming from, AnxietyAware. I've had similar experiences with eye symptoms and anxiety. It can be really frustrating to feel like your body is working against you, especially when you're already dealing with a lot of emotional stress. One thing that has helped me in the past is to take frequent breaks throughout the day to rest my eyes. I try to follow the 20-20-20 rule, where I take a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet away. This can help reduce eye strain and prevent fatigue. Additionally, staying hydrated and getting enough sleep can also make a big difference in how your eyes feel.

It's important to remember that everyone's experience with anxiety disorder is unique, and what works for one person might not work for another. However, I've found that building a toolbox of different coping strategies can be really helpful in managing anxiety symptoms. In addition to relaxation techniques and eye rest, you might also consider things like exercise, journaling, or talking to a therapist. It can take some trial and error to find what works best for you, but the key is to be patient and kind to yourself throughout the process. You're not alone in this, and there are resources and support available to help you along the way.
