What is a phobia?
Phobias are persistent and intense fears of a particular:
object
person (like a doctor or clown)
situation
activity
If you have a phobia, you may experience severe anxiety and panic attacks when you’re:
exposed to the object or situation you’re fearful of
thinking about the thing you’re afraid of
anticipating an encounter with the item you’re scared of
Almost everything I enjoy requires vision. I think I would be very depressed without it. Take my voice, my hearing, my leg or arm, but dont take my sight. So I am very careful with my vision too.
So got me very worried a year ago when I noticed my eyesight had started to deteriorate. I cant see clearly in half-dark environments anymore. Watching meeting car lights and I cant measure their distance. Digital speed signs are hard to read at night. Watching the moon and it is blurry and has a squished halo. I’m only 38! I was planning to live until I was hundred. What if its gone long before?
Hope I didnt give you another fear. 😟 Anyway, if anyone is a djinni or devil or any other kind of wish-fullfiller for a terrible price and reading this, I’m up for negotiating for a perfect vision for the next 60 years.
I’m 36, my vision never has been perfect. About a diopter and a half of both myopia and astigmatism in each eye, plus my eyes are blue so my irises aren’t as opaque as I’d like. I have struggled with bright lights since I was a kid. I cherish my prescription sunglasses.
