It seems like there's been no research done no professional medical diagnosis, an no one knows what it is what to call it or how to treat it. Psychologists give practical things to apply or dope you up. It's frustrating
I experience all the same symptoms people are talking about to the point I feel this strain in my head hurts

I call it peripheral looking, but I think the proper term is hypervigilance. However, peripheral looking is more specific. Basically, it is looking out the corner of your eye when you don.t want to. For anyone who notices this, I can only imagine it.s pretty creepy. So for me, when I.m stuck in this peripheral looking and I notice the person noticing me stuck, it gets really bad.

See my reply below considering potential physical factors- eg maybe wearing mouthguard-type appliance inconsistently could be causing  problems; otherwise generally avoiding 'exercises' pushing yourself to anxiety, and considering any unnatural/uncommon activities/appliances you wear for yourself (esp anything affecting head), ophth/optician checkup to rule out any significant eye issues.)
