[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 641684, member: 1550"] I was walking in Walmart yesterday and suddenly my eyesight seemed dull and I felt a monster panic attack coming on. I haven't had them for decades, but I have always noticed that fluorescent lighting bothers me a lot, especially my eyesight. I used every coping skill I know of, including deep breathing, but my eyes were still so bothered that I had to leave. It almost felt like a throwback to derealization./depersonalization. I work under fluorescent lights. Today I looked up fluorescent lights to see if I was imagining this stuff and I'm not! They do cause manic attacks, migraines, seizures and a lot of things in sensitive people. Wow. I can't afford the type of lenses that help...at least not right now...as insurance doesn't cover it. Anyone else have trouble with fluorescent lights? Anyone even hear about this? I never had before yesterday. I wonder if sunglasses would help, although I'd look pretty silly wearing them in the winter in Wisconsin and I couldn't at work. [/QUOTE]
