Terrified of vision and brain problems

I know other people can relate to worrying about brain tumors and stuff like that. Right now I'm super paranoid that I'm losing my vision and that I can't read well/concentrate on anything. I feel like My brain is detoriorating and I'm terrified I need some good support right now, because I can't get it out of my head that there's something wrong with my brain

this is literally me right now. i've been obsessively going over symptoms of vision loss i have literally none, but i keep looking over em anyway and reassuring myself that i have no symptoms is the only thing that's really helping.

i'm so sorry you're worried about this too, it's awful to feel like this. i hate it. :\ we're gonna be fine though. there's nothing physically wrong with either of us. it's just anxiety. anxiety fucks with your concentration too, since your brain is preoccupied with worry and stuff. try to keep that in mind, that helps me sometimes.
