The first question that I have is: how long have you been working in that retail store?
The second: how long has it been going on?
The reason why I asked is because it can be a physical issue and not a mental/psychological one here. It could be that your eyes are becoming more and more sensitive to light (and thus bright objects). I have a feeling that it would also hurt, and perhaps even more, if your eyes were to be hit by the reflection of a mirror, as those reflections are usually more intense than those from shiny objects such as spoons etc.
I'd recommend a visit to an optometrist and have your eyes checked to be safe. I have similar experiences like you do, but I think I know what led to my problem. I used to like looking into the sun for longer than necessary when I was little, which could have caused some damage to my eyes then. And now my eyes are more sensitive to light than I used to be, even long hours working under the desk lamp hurts.
Boy this is a good one. I don't know but you need to seek out some help now. Not tomorrow, but now. Do what ever it takes to get help, but do it
oh wow i totally understand. i used to fear that too. especially when i was younger. i have nightmares of being shot & scares the cr@p out of me. tough thing, id suggest talk to someone you trust.
