At the end of May to start of June I had 2 incredibly traumatic sexual asaults within 6 days carried out by the same person.
(i tis in police hands)
My KC is at the stage of being legally blind and I have been awarethat cos i have been highly stressed as a result my remaining vision has dwindled a little from what it was or rather gone down by a fair bit
anyone else notice when stressed vision alters to other times?

Really sorry to hear you've had such an awful experience. And yes, I've certainly noticed over the years that stress levels and tiredness levels have affected my vision. Though I think it was usually temporary.

previously it has been temp but as we know my eyes, KC n life in general hate rule books n tend to revolt n protest at the very thought.

Very sorry to read this, I sincerely hope you are being given support and have a successful prosecution. Emotions do impact on visual acuity (and lens wear) in my experience but it's not area that interests practitioners, like everywhere else they expect positive stoicism

thanks for taking the time to reply, well in theory the **** is being interviewed on thursday, only thus far taken 23 weeks to get to this stage. Support wise, its been a farce, I am paying myself for private trauma therapy which is taking over 3/4 of the PIP I get a month (I don't work currently due to my physical health not just visual and now mental health which had been stable being anything but stable) I was the one who had to get access to victim support as noone thought to refer me to them, I have had o seek out everything thus far which has been draining to say the least.
As I said to my partner last night I have been lving on pause for over 5 months whiilst life has carried on around me, the closer we get to thursday this week the higher my anxiety is, as I type I am shaking physically due to anxiety, fear, hyper vigielence, I can't relax today at all my head is all over the place. I promised myself id be raw and real from day 1 with all this n not mask how it is impacting me but right now i really want to just put a mask back on but know htat would cause myself more harm than good in the long run. Tears in my eyes as I type and yeah life is ****
