This is embarrassing to ask but I guess I
should. I have severe Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorder. One problem from it is tic-like
symptoms where I occasionally squeeze my
eyes seemingly somewhat excessively.
Sometimes my eyes get a little red and
sometimes things are blurry for awhile
afterwards, then everything seems to
return to normal. This has gone on for
almost two years. (My base fear is that
I'll damage my eyes somehow). Also I can't
sleep at night sometimes because when I
think about my eyes, the muscles around
them tighten up so much they sometimes
start to hurt, and sometimes I even see
some spots.
My question is: How much of a risk is this
of me permanently damaging my eyes? Are
they designed to withstand some abuse? Is
it even possible to damage them using the
muscles around them?
(I've also been on every anti-anxiety
medication over a 20-year period with no
success, so medication isn't an option.
And Blue Cross HMO doesn't cover
therapists who treat OCD in LA, so I don't
really have much help with the OCD part.
Just thought I'd check and see what the
realistic chance of damage is, thanks.)
