I'm very stressed about floaters
Post Body

I suddenly got floaters a couple of weeks ago, I've always had perfect vision and now I feel like I'm going insane. Everytime I see a floater my heart drops, I hate having to second guess if what I saw was a piece of dust or a floater... Now I've been seeing stuff like slight after images, blurred vision when I look up from something close to my face (like a phone, a book, etc.), and I feel like the stress is causing me to be on edge, if I see even the tiniest thing in my pereferal(?) I will look back multiple times to test if it was a floater or not and at this point I think I'm just hallucinating stuff. I think a lot of the side effects are because I'm overreacting and I've become hyper aware of all the slight problems I have but I'm not sure if I should be worried and go to a doctor immediately or if I should just ask my mom to schedule an appointment that would probably mean waiting a few months. I know floaters are really common and I know I'm overreacting (I've always been the type to get anxious and overreact) but now I just feel like I can't trust my vision anymore and I feel like I have to prepare to go blind even though my vision is still pretty good.
