I think some of you have health anxiety

I have had this syndrome my whole life, and I understand there is a difference between that and waking up with it one day, but I truly believe that some people on here are dealing with something deeper than VSS. All these posts talking about every single possible symptom, side effect, or treatment really worries me. There is no cure for VSS at the moment, but that is not a death sentence. Just like any health symptom, learning to cope with it and getting therapy are huge factors in quality of life. Like I said I understand there is a range of experiences with visual snow and I'm not saying it's your fault you're feeling this way or to "just get over it;" I'm saying there is hope. There is a way out of this, but it takes some introspection and hard work.

I've had it my entire life, so I definitely don't have the extreme feelings that many more recent sufferers have (in fact, I didn't even know there was anything wrong with my vision until a few years ago!) However, I can understand how it could be harder when you actually know what you're missing.

One time I actually got really sad thinking that I'd never see the world the right way.
