You should try wearing tinted glasses!. I do not mean sunglasses!. You should ask you doctor (or just go buy some from the store) about glasses with various tints in the lenses!. Less intensity from bright light will relax you more and enable you to experience less anxiety!. You can start with lenses tinted just a little lighter than sunglasses, and then work your way lighter and lighter over time as you learn to train yourself to calm down!. There may even be certain colors that help you do this more that others!. Experiment with blue tints first because that shade has a psychological association with being soothed!. People will just think they are regular glasses and no big deal!. They can be like training wheels for you-- you will use them to practice and get stronger!. You can do it!Www@Answer-Health@Com
