I don't really know what group to put this in but I've noticed a pattern.
When I stressed or have anxiety, I lose half the sight in my left eye. I don't know and I'm not ready to go to doctor before I find out whether it's serious or not.
When I was 13, a person threw an paper airplane with a pencil in it at me. It hit my left eye. In good light, I can see it, the impairment.
Is it stress or anxiety related?
My family just got in a huge fight spliting the Staleys apart (I hope for a while).

" SkittlxChan, I agree with daninflorida. You need to see an eye doctor as soon as possible.

I think it is a combination of a medical and stress-related issues. I have noticed in the past month or so, when I become stressed I start getting very dizzy and my heart rate speeds up substantially.

I wouldn't wait to have this problem addressed. You never know how stress will manifest itself and this is something that needs attention immediately. Good luck. "
