I will even ask my kids if they see it or hear it to make sure that I'm not the only one experiencing whatever it is.
That's very sad isn't it....

Not at all. That's what it was like for me until I found the camera trick, which worked for me (well, somewhat). But it probably doesn't work for everyone...
I don't know if you've heard of Intervoice, but they're an organization that argues that we shouldn't immediately treat voice-hearing as a problem, and that people should try different methods of dealing with hearing voices.
I think the same could be said about visuals, but the fact that they're less common means there's less information out there about them.
So far I've tried the camera trick, mirrors, glasses, and laser pointers. Glasses worked somewhat (not for distortions or visions), but I wear contacts most of the day, so that's out. Mirrors and laser pointers didn't work. The camera trick is the only thing that makes me feel like I have some control, instead of being dependent on doctors and meds for everything (especially when those don't work)... It doesn't work for all my visuals, but it gives me hope.
So now that I have something, I feel like people who see things shouldn't give up. Just like the voice-hearers, there could be something out there, you just might have to experiment...
Sorry if I sounded dogmatic at first. I'm just trying to get the most out of this clarity before it goes away. But I totally get where you're coming from.
