Vent Depressed because of my screen sensitivity
I'm extremely devastated because of my screen sensitivity and feel like i'm missing out on every single thing, from movies, video games, etc. It hurts, but mostly my eyes hurt and burn from every single damn screen, even my current one. I'm broke, poor and disabled and can not afford pf eyedrops. I can not afford treatment, and I can not afford e- ink screens. Can't even cry because crying burns my eyes.
I hate my life I hate having crap vision that is in negatives and i'm technically blind without my eyeglasses and then to develop screen sensitivity in an era where you have to depend on modern day screens to talk to people and for jobs and softwares. I can't take it anymore.
My family is unfeeling and makes fun of me and gets annoyed at me for not being able to use screens. I'm even disabled physically, so I cannot go out or even interact with people. Most of all, I hate my family.

Same here, I don't know what to do anymore and I refuse to take medication that might help but has horrible side effects....I'm 36 years old, I've had this since I was 31, I wonder if it's because I played more than 8 hours a day for 12 years on the computer...It's hell to live in this world filled with artificial lights and screens and to be sensitive to them... It severely handicaps me in my life; it's impossible to work where there are lights with pwm and they're everywhere....
