Chemical imbalance or what?

Question

I think ive got a chemical imbalance in my brain. ive got thoughts of suicide and mad anxeiety. but the thing is, ive got this vision problem going on too, and i dont know if it's related ot not.

I seem to see things that are white or bright colours with like... a floaty doubble vision kinda thing sometimes. and my eyes see in totally different ways, one in warm colours, one in cool colours. If anyone knows, please help me out here.

Answer 1

Might be related, might not, the only way to know for sure is to see a psychiatrist and find out.

Answer 2

Good question! I'd say it works both ways. If you are depressed for a long time you don't usually take good care of yourself and that leads to bad diet choices that can result in an imbalance. Chemical imbalances can cause depression too--because the body needs certain amounts of certain chemicals to keep running properly.

Answer 3

I thought everyone had a warm eye and a cool eye ...my left eye has a faint tinge of red while right eye has a faint tinge of green

The floaty double vision thingy might be an astigmatism ...your eye isn't perfectly round so the light rays aren't focusing in exactly the same spot making you see double. It's really common, non dangerous and fixable with glasses ...in fact I can see two of you right now 'cause I don't have glasses

Why don't I have glasses? ...well, my anxiety disorder is stopping me from seeking medical attention (c;

Seriously, get some medical advise on that anxiety. They might teach you some cognitive behavioural therapy so you question the source and logic of your anxiety. They might teach you to recognise the negative thoughts you put into your own mind by the way you speak to yourself. It would help to learn breathing techniques to bring you off the top of the anxiety and back to a place you can think logically

I reckon the suicidal thoughts happen because your brain is joining all the smaller anxieties into a superanxiety that can't be unraveled and has no solution and you end up with only one option -Death ...yeah, good one brain, like that's really going to help!

I know this sounds really ordinary but get good sleep (like 8 hours) at the right time of night (go to bed before the crazy hour ...mine is about 1 am). Our sleep cycle affects all sorts of hormones that contribute to anxiety and depression. Remember to keep eating and going for walks in the sunshine ...anxiety can distract you from the most necessary things in life

Take care and don't be afraid to ask for the help you need (c;

Answer 4

I have depersonalization and derealization. bubbles and grids superimposed over my vision. Look up depersonaization forum and see if it sounds familiar. do you also feel like you are in a dream sometimes or your head isn't connected to your body? Or that your head is in a fish bowl? Or you hear yourself talking but don't make the connection? Or you are watching yourself and not really in your body? All depersonalization/derealization. It is apain, it does cause anxiety but with support and meds if necessary you can live with it. Check out the forum and see if it fits. Good Luck

Answer 5

Same answer as before you need professional help. The eye problem may be unrelated to the depression/anxiety but that need your attention first.

Answer 6

Why don't you get your eyes checked? Suicide and anxiety are not related to floaters in the eye.

Answer 7

see a ophthalmologist to rule out macular /retina problems

then

seek professional help for the mental issues

Answer 8

I don't think they're related, as I said in your other question almost the exact same as this.

Answer 9

seek profesional help now. You may have one of many medical problems.
