confusion, panic, dizziness, eyes seem weird
I really need help. I'm 21 yrs old and when i was studying abroad i just felt gradually and gradually worse. Feelings of confusion, panic, easily startled....and just feeling in a fog. I was also very sick with something later on and ever since i feel 20x worse. Now my eyes feel like they are crossed and when i talk to someone and look at them, it seems like my eyes get more and more blurry to where i have to look away. Everything looks dull and it seems like my eyes can't focus to objects correctly. Besides that, i'm always feeling confused and feelings of being in a fog...like everything around me is going on around me while im not there...occasionally i will get a twitch as well. I can't concentrate on anything nor think straight at all... I had a test that said i had mono but a long time ago(7months ago), but all my blood tests/sugar levels are fine according to doc's. Now they are treating for depression and im on wellbutrin. im pretty much at the point where i'm becoming suicidal b/c i can't take this anymore. I used to love to run, read, and do so many things and i can't do anything anymore. i've been like this since march and if i remain like this for much longer i cant take it anymore.....i have job interviews and all sorts of things right now. Somebody help
What are the Symptoms of My son has found he had something most docors do not look for wrong with his eyes that caused almost all these symptoms in this thread.
Convergence Insufficiency?
A person who has convergence insufficiency may show and/or complain of the following while doing close work (i.e., reading, computer work, deskwork, playing handheld video games, doing crafts, etc.):
eyestrain (especially with or after reading)
headaches
blurred vision
double vision
inability to concentrate
short attention span
frequent loss of place
squinting, rubbing, closing or covering an eye
sleepiness during the activity
trouble remembering what was read
words appear to move, jump, swim or float
problems with motion sickness and/or vertigo
It is not unusual for a person with convergence insufficiency to cover or close one eye while reading to relieve the blurring or double vision. Symptoms will be worsened by illness, lack of sleep, anxiety, and/or prolonged close work.
Many people who would test as having convergence insufficiency [if tested] may not complain of double vision or the other symptoms listed above because vision in one eye has shut down. In other words, even though both eyes are open and are healthy and capable of sight, the person's brain ignores one eye to avoid double vision. This is a neurologically active process called suppression.1

Hi!
I know that this post was from years ago but I came across it recently and was hoping someone could help me. I have had similar symptoms as the ones mentioned, last year but they have come back the past 2 weeks. I had just started my period and began feeling weird (I usually feel like this when I'm on it) but now I am done with it and STILL feel really weird. I am dizzy (like I am moving but I'm really not moving, or I am going to fall over/pass out), very tired, my eyes make things as if they are moving faster than they are (it's VERY hard to explain) and I just feel not like myself. I did not get a lot of sleep/exercise on my period last week so maybe that could have done something or maybe at my job looking at the computer 8 hours a day would have an effect. Could it be sinus/allergies? A wisdom tooth coming in? I have had an MRI, seen my eye doctor, an ENT and NOTHING has shown up. This was last year, the symptoms stopped eventually but now they're back! I am getting bloodwork done this week so maybe that will help me but does anyone have an ideas of what it could be?? It is so frustrating that I have this again and nobody has an answer for me.

Ava Marie, hope you are doing well. just wondering if you have gotten a diagnosis yet? I have these issues too. I just wonder if it's my sinuses or something more. I have never felt this bad before.... Just weird and unlike I've ever felt before.
i agree with you. the awakening of the kundalini energy will cause all of these terrible things. i wish people were more open to this perspective. western medicine has far fewer answers than they'd like you to think. this perspective truly changed my entire life.

these are the symptoms of a broken heart.
all of us think too much. far too much of our awareness is bound up in our thoughts, our brain organ. but it is through the heart that we connect with the world.
i bet some of you noticed that when you're doing something really exciting or fun, you forget about these symptoms, right? sometimes anyway. other times the anxiety is too great it persists, and poisons yet another experience.
i know this isn't a medical answer, but look at the posts: years and years of doctors and their medicines and machines have tried to solve this weird, terrifying disease, and have failed. haven't they? has anyone been truly cured?
no. doesn't look like it. we are conditioned to accept the medical answer, and to dismiss the mystical one. but just for once, for your own sake, try opening up to a somewhat magical perspective of the nature of illness.
restore the heart. that's what i can say now. restore the heart. its full of pain, its broken. we have retreated into our brains, full of thoughts, mental conditions, patterned energy--this is the ego. it protects us from pain by condemning all that has hurt us. but if we go on without stopping, we condemn the entire world, and then we are here.
our eyes can't focus. our ears ring. we feel dizzy, spaces out, disconnected from people and things. for me:
~ i see impressions of things, like outlines, after i look away from them.
~ my ears ring all the time. all the time.
~ my eyes haven't been able to focus properly on an object for 4 years.
~ there is a haze in front of my eyes. i can see it most at night, and my night vision is really bad these days.
~ bright lights are too much for me.
~ patterns seem to move. like looking at a bunch of lines, they like shift and jump around it makes me dizzy.
~ when i watch videos, the scene often skips when the camera is panning, almost the its really low frame rate. but its not. its just me.
~ and like all of you, I'm technically perfectly healthy. ha!
if this sounds like you, give it a shot. stop worrying about your eyes for a bit. thank them. tell your eyes you love them, and that you're sorry for stressing them out so hard. then ask your heart what is wrong. relax, take calm breaths, move your awareness to the center of your chest. and listen. i promise it will speak to you. listen.
i know this is some crazy new age wtf ********. but i've been on this journey every day for over four years. its been terrifying, confusing, and sometimes i felt suicidal and crazy because no one knew what the **** i was talking about! its frustrating right? It has been a ride that has changed my life. I don't say these weird things lightly. the world is far more magical, WE are far more powerful and mysterious that you can imagine.
so just try it. this isn't about your eyes. this is about your heart.
i have this blog too ill write more about this on there soon
www.thedoorofbliss.wordpress.com
i love you all. so much. you're so brave to hang in there. this is a really scary thing to go through. but there is hope. no, more than that. there is certainty that this will pass. it all depends on you~
the cure for this is within. <3

I challenge each and every one of you to leave home at 8 in the morning, and go wherever your subconscious mind takes you.. dont let your ego talk you out of ''pointless'' or ''wasteful'' thing, just explore until the sun goes down.
I dare you to do this, and not experience a complete relief of your condition.
Be warned however: upon arrival at your residence, the clarity will once again be ripped from your being.
It's all biology.
We weren't meant to live in pathetic little cubicles, filled with horrible air, eating trash and mindlessly gazing at a damned screen.. I know you will think otherwise, or claim ''it's not like that''.. but it is.
This world of ours isn't biological, it's a death trap.
Ever seen a monkey on a hillside in an african reserve? I bet you have, now think of the monkey you saw living in a concrete zoo.. starting to make sense?
Either live in the wild, or suck it up and ride it out soldier.
