I first came here as a desperate 22 year old in early 2013. I'm now 26 years old and have been treating my dry eye (mgd) since then. I use an Eye bag, drops when needed and I take Flaxseed Oil everyday. I have flare ups and I have just been suffering from a bad one recently. I think because I've been under a great deal of stress. On New Years Day my boyfriend ended our relationship and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. I THINK I'm starting to heal from that now, but my eyes have gotten at times pretty damn bad and I can't stop messing. If you read old threads of mine, you'll see my problems began after a similar stressful year in 2012. I'm going to get in to see an Optician when I can just so they can look at the health of my eyes as I like to keep updated.
Is it possible that stress really can cause this horrible disease? Its heartbreaking to read peoples experiences here. The disease in itself is very very stressful and nobody who has normal eyes understands!
I'm a bit stressed at the moment because I'm looking for a job with MORE hours and as im having surgery soon (unrelated to eyes) AND will have a loan to pay for so I need to keep my job. But when I have flare ups, I get very scared for my future.
