There was one period of time, years ago, when my stress level was apparently particularly high, when my eyes began bouncing up-&-down in their sockets periodically... made it difficult to focus on anything I'll tell you... After a while the problem went away. I don't recall what came next. But it's all just the effects of unremitting stress.

If this is what is going on with you then the solution is to figure out what is causing you to be stressed out & try to do what you can to reduce or eliminate it. Then, such things as physical exercise, meditation, & avoiding stimulants, & getting enough quality sleep are ways of remedying the situation without resorting to therapy or psychiatric services. You might also consider getting a general medical check-up just to make sure that there isn't something physical going on. Good luck!
Tq for your suggestion. I think i'll give it a try with meditation. Also, I need to get a medical check-up as well. I'm having hypertension but had stop the meds for more than 2 months now. And i've been having this neck headache everyday for almost 2 weeks now. If it doesn't stop, i'm afraid I have to start on my hypertension meds again then. As for what's causing my stress, the answer is my mom. Can't possibly get rid of her as we are living in the same house. If only I can drop her somewhere in the middle of a desert. Haha. Nope, can't do. I'm a good daughter, or, at least i'm trying to be a good one. Thanks again, pal! <<hugs for you>>
