Learning To Live With Visual Snow Syndrome

This video made me audibly laugh out loud because of how relatable this was. Like it felt like God speaking to me through you. So thank you. Thank you so much.

Fantastic video. Taking on your tips about stopping research, looking at things, reddit, etc.

Thank you so much for sharing !!!! I have had it for almost my life and never thought it would be a problem untiI I searched the Internet and got to know the things about it and boom!! The all symptoms suddenly came so apparently.I’ve spent a month with so many anxieties even had a panic attacks after I visited the local famous doctor and he seemed to care nothing . Now I have to train my brain again to learn to adjust. And I don’t think it will last long. This will be my last video about it. I’m gonna move on. thank you very much Jack.

This was super helpful dude, the metaphor about buying a new car and then seeing it everywhere is a great way to put it.

Jack you are absolutely amazing it helped me right after i watched this video soldier

palinopsia and noticing my blind spots is the most frightening and annoying symptom of my vss

I open my eyes from a very short nap and noticed I had that stupid vortex vision against my white ceiling. I started going down another rabbit hole about this and VS (including reddit) but stopped myself and came back to this video to listen to it. It's been so much help, and it was the initial video that helped me start moving on about 2 weeks ago. I do suffer from health anxiety so this has been hell, but your videos have been SO helpful. Thank you so much.

Great video, it really speaks to everything I've been experiencing for the past couple of months. I haven't officially been diagnosed with VSS, but an optometrist and eye doctor didn't find any issues problems my next step being a neurologist just to rule everything else out. Being distracted by other stimulus has helped me the most so far but then I'll notice something which pulls me back into anxiety mode with VSS. The most distracting thing I've been experiencing is definitely the laggy vision where movements aren't as smooth as they used to be and having very pronounced tv static vision in darkness. I know it's hard to ignore because it's your vision which is something always present, but the best piece of advice as per this video is really to get VSS out of your mind and stop researching it.

Thank you so much!!! This is the first info on visual snow that I’ve found that has actually left me feeling positive. I was so depressed after scrolling on Reddit and reading everyone’s miserable anecdotes, but you have made me so much more hopeful. I also know what you’re saying is true because I recovered in a very similar way that you described to tinnitus that I developed almost 4 years ago, and now I rarely even think about when at one time I found it so debilitating. I have one question though: do you still enjoy activities like watching movies and reading? I’m somewhat afraid that visual snow and all the other symptoms will make me enjoy them less

Man, do I hope you are right... It really makes sense, but I'm right at the beginning and I know it's gonna hurt... Thanks a lot for taking the effort and for your good intentions. 👍🏻👍🏻

I listen to you every morning

Had it for 6 years, never focussed on it, lived my life perfectly fine. When I started looking for symptoms because of stress 2 weeks ago, I focus on the static constantly now and I'm going crazy😅

I have static, double vision ghosting ,bfep, palinopsia, poor night vision,tinnitus, halos ,starbusts ,very hard to ignore If its only sratic then its fine

Thank you .

Thanks for the video! I am trying to do the same. I was curious if you also have light sensitivity and visual trailing of your hands. The light i have with white car lights. Those are so bright. Really hard to ignore

Hey Jack, working to get past this and move forward with me life!

Isn‘t a little visual snow also normal? I experience „static“ when i look at blank objects like a wall, especially in the dark. It’s a very mild black or transparent „flickering“ more like a shadow. And in the dark i also don’t see perfectly black and objects perfectly sharp, i see it flickering a little bit. Not when closing my eyes though. I also had anxiety and recognized the visual snow the first time when i had anxiety looking at the sealing in the dark. I asked a lot of people about this and most of them see what i see in dark. And looking at white walls. I freaked out about it, when i googled the symptoms, „visual snow syndrome“ it said immediately. So i focused really hard on the freaking snow all day. I always focused on how i see not what i see. And now i‘m pretty sure this mild „flickering“ is normal and most people don’t pay attention to it. Nobody sees the same and nobody sees 100% perfect! So don’t diagnose yourself and freak out about it like i did. Made my life really hard for months.

We need more videos

So once I have visual snow syndrome it lasts forever? Or can it be temporary for some people?

hey jack i just wanna ask. i always loved nature and travelling etc im afraid my symptoms wich are like yours ruin nature and landscapes for me
