OK, here I am again. It's a continuing (never ending?) story. I'm definitely a TMS pro 
. Please read with me. Thank you!
This time it's my eyes/head. And I think that the optician has made it way worse by selling me glasses. Glasses that I haven't received yet. They should be ready on Saturday. He measured a small +(ouch, 41 and declining
and a small - deviation on both eyes. Plus a cilinder.
The day before I had had a very tiring drive with many roundabouts, navigation without sound on a small i-phone and bright sunlight. I couldn't see the screen because of polarized sunglasses, so I was switching between with - and without sunglasses. My head felt like it exploded. It was better after I layed down for 20 minutes. I was at my mum's who can be very empathic (and worried) when something like that happens. I went to the optician Monday afternoon.
On Monday and Tuesday I was exhausted by the strain on my eyes. I have tried TMS-strategy, but it's still there. Especially when I read a book, the paper, a screen. When my ex dropped off my daughter it seemed to go away. I was distracted! Welcome back, TMS, old friend/foe
A few things are mixed up:
- I am not sure if I really need glasses
- I am sure that the tiredness and heaviness are too extreme to be just from that small +/- strength (-0.5 / +0,5).
- I have never had problems or tiredness with reading or watching screens. I can use my eyes endlessly without tiring. Except for:
- My mother stands behind my choice of the glasses because she is convinced these will help. Which is confirming there a "stuctural abnormality' behind it all.
When I read the above I am grinning. It is kind of hilarious. It is so obvious when I read the summary. TMS anyone?
Still, how the F* can I get rid of it this time? Usually sharing here does the trick when it lasts for more than a few days...
I am processing a lot these days. Actually. I've heard myself say that "my eyes are opened" for how deeply unhealthy my relationship with my ex-husband has been. Isn't that symbolic.... (I'm crying now). I think I have to thank my body once more for pointing out something is below the surface. On Tuesday I have cried so hard about the moulded cave that the relationship has been without me seeing it. I am grieving the fact that I have been feeling so deeply unsafe that I thought needed the walls of that cave.
Still, the tiredness in my head and the strain on my eyes are a bummer. And it's very persistent compared to other TMS-attacks... Usually my subconscious respons much quicker to the TMS-approach.
Thank you for reading my latest

- after a rear end car accident (see other thread) and the remainder was definitely TMS and I totally conquered it
- recently in Zoom-meetings my eyes seem to get tired in the same way as in the car on Sunday
- My mother stands behind my choice of the glasses because she is convinced these will help. Which is confirming there a "stuctural abnormality' behind it all.
