During times of my severe depression, and especially when I started to have panic attacks, my visual perception was effected also; the atmosphere’s lighting seemed to die down; everything seemed dimmer than previous times. This made the depression and panic attacks more uncomfortable, and more dreadful, as it seemed that everything around me was losing its vitality, while it seemed as if I was losing consciousness and fading into a dark oblivion; it also intensified the feeling of impending doom.
