![]() ![]() What are some of the most interesting finds, you ask?ħ1% of you read fantasy. Guess what? So many of you found it and took it that SurveyMonkey is now harassing me to upgrade my account. Now for survey results! I made a survey last year that I never got around to announcing to you all called the Genre/Book Preferences Survey. Survey Results! My readers like the same themes I do: who’da thunk it? I’ve always been a multi-tasker because I’m passionate about too many things and life is so short. So for those of you worried I quit or am going to abandon writing for yoga, no worries. The last Shapeshifting Seas book has obviously already been in the works, and I have a few other projects I had to temporarily abandon because of the vision issues. Now, although I am busy with yoga clients and group classes, because my vision is far better, I want to get back into writing. It was something I didn’t need to use a screen for. Just advice for anyone out there struggling with the same issues I have.Īnyway, because I was freaking out about my loss of work (due to not being able to write), I’ve spent months and months training for and starting a business in something else I’m passionate about: yoga, focused on pain management for people who go through the same things I have. Vision problems, I’ve learned from experience and my latest eye doctor who actually cares enough to listen to me, can be neurologically-related to anxiety. I don’t tend to be an outwardly emotional person, so I must hold everything in until I break (quite literally). I believe that losing about a dozen people over the last few years just caused me so much anxiety that I was in denial for. I still have light sensitivity, but it’s far less severe and manageable. I no longer have to have my computer brightness at 0% and wear sunglasses to look at a screen. My vision problems didn’t disappear, but they alleviated about 70-90%. Finally, my GP prescribed me anti-anxiety medication for the panic attacks.īelieve it or not, that worked for my vision. I couldn’t work, I was terrified of what was happening to me, etc. ![]() In March of this year, I started experiencing daily panic attacks. I couldn’t even be in the same room as a TV/computer without experiencing excruciating eye pain that led to constant headaches. I wore sunglasses indoors because my light sensitivity was so bad. (Even though I used all sorts of vision aids/dark glasses etc.) I got multiple second/third opinions from eye doctors who couldn’t understand what was going on or didn’t take my issue seriously. Well, around the end of 2021 and into the first few months of 2022, it got so bad I literally could not spend more than a few minutes per day on my computer. There are reasons for that! Some of you might remember I was going through the ringer last year with vision problems due to Visual Snow Syndrome. ![]()
