The Light

As your battle with anxiety takes it's casual roller coaster ride and you're anxiety isn't bothering you as much as it tends to. You begin to realize the smallest things that may bother you. For example, lighting is so distracting to me. If I'm in a place with bright fluorescent lighting such as a grocery store, I begin to feel light headed. Light intensity can be distracting to the point that I tend to forget what I'm doing or saying in that moment. I've worn glasses for as long as I can remember and I've never been more grateful of this than I am now. Taking my glasses off and the world becoming blurry and not intensified is a huge luxury when my eyes feel like they can't handle all of the visual stimulation the world has to offer. Coping with the things that trigger you everyday seems difficult. However it isn't. Finding ways to cope that are easy to implement in your life is a totally blessing and makes things so much easier. I'm learning new things everyday and I know that I'm well on my way.
