sorry for the copy paste from the mental health sub but i feel that this works for both subs

so i’m very aware that seeing things from the corner of your eye is completely normal, but these things are starting to move from just the corner of my eyes to right in fucking front of me.

last week i was just sitting on my bed when i saw this [flash](https://imgur.com/a/OIjA0WM) on my door. keep in mind that when i saw this, it was the middle of the day. i know it’s a pretty awful edit so i will explain a bit better. it looked like a flash of light from a camera or something from outside my window. i actually thought it was lightning at first but it was bright and sunny out. i then panicked because i thought maybe someone was outside my window taking a picture with the flash on. i even ran to my window and looked outside. it is also important to note that is not what my window even looks like.

this flash wasn’t just out of the corner of my eye, it was right in front of me and lasted for a solid second, long enough for me to look up, look at it and wonder what it is.

this is just the weirdest one. earlier yesterday i was again just chilling when i saw something strange right in front of me. it was on my floor behind a few things and it looked shiny? it was about the size of a book and kind of looked like a slug. i wasn’t wearing my glasses so i threw them on and turned the flashlight on and actually looked for it. i was panicking the entire time and i felt like something was there.

I tend to see things out of the corner of my eye due to anxiety and it has been worse recently. i would just throw these things in with that but due to the fact that it’s not just out of the corner of my eye anymore i’m wondering what the hell is going on. Are these just because of anxiety? Am i losing my fucking mind? Keep in mind that i have other strange anxiety symptoms.

i know i cant really get a ‘diagnosis’ for what’s going on, but i want to know if this could just be anxiety or if it’s something more?
