I am not a neuroscientist or neurologist. Don’t know if I’m allowed here? But I have a question about neurology. I have a thing called photopsia which is a flashing light in my vision. The reason I connected it to my neurology is cause it flashes at the same rate as certain emotions or thoughts. I have connected it to my repressing of intense or heavy emotions. It seems to flash with that. But the crazy part is it also seems to occasionally point and words and objects corresponding with what I’m thinking. Now when this first started happening. My natural reaction was it was some kind of god or angel cause what else would a layman think of a flashing light that is pointing at stuff corresponding with what you’re thinking. Supernatural of some kind. After tons of research I honed in on photopsia. I also found that photopsia can be linked to acute stress or anxiety. Which is when it flares up the most. But still didn’t explain the correlation between thoughts and words/objects. That has confused me for years. But I have realized that I have cptsd and have realized that there is most likely a connection there as well. Due to the level of my trauma I have also realized that my amygdala is damaged, my prefrontal cortex is damaged so what I’m wondering is if this light is potentially connected to my thalamus and due to the severity of my trauma If somehow my thalamus got so damaged that it is sending signals to my eyes in hopes of helping me with my conscious worries but since it’s damaging it’s misfiring? Just trying to make sense of this. Thanks
