Hey Ellak, I'm sure after reading all of these responses, you know now that you're at least not alone in this. As for me, I had a bout of food poisoning back on April 18th, 21 and threw up a a lot the next day. That night, my vision was going in circles and it felt like I was on drugs or something. Looking to the left I would get extremely dizzy, and looking to the right I would be fine. A few weeks later I was feeling really anxious about weird sensations on the left side of my body which then evolved into headaches mainly on the left side of my head. After then developing a light sensitivity, a month passes and I go on my first fishing trip with family to help get me out of the house. On June 1st I can remember getting out of the car to get the rods, and BOOM. Like magic, a single dot in my left eye appeared. I can't really remember what my reaction was to it, but I kinda went under the assumption it would go away with time - as I didn't really know what floaters were at the time. I enjoyed the trip and it didn't bother me much. But as time went on, and upon going to optometrists, I began to realize the nature of the issue, and began to become really, really depressed. I've had plenty of reasons to be depressed prior to getting floaters, but getting them really exacerbated all that was wrong in my life. Having no one in my life to truly relate to made me feel so alone. Painfully so. I really wanted to enjoy the things that we both seem to like doing: going outside, being able to enjoy travelling, etc. It's been a real mental battle this year, that's for sure. I don't enjoy playing sports as much as I used to because the slightest head movements turn my left eye into a snow globe. It's perpetually dry, and my sclera in my left eye is just generally more red than my right now for whatever reason, and I've just been a wreck. I'm a heavy believer that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and it certainly doesn't help when I have clumps of protein obstructing what would have otherwise been a normal conversation with someone, or a normal uhhh... Anything. I have two opaque hairs (which I can occasionally see indoors if my eyes pass a light), and a dot in my left eye. Ngl shit sucks, but I think it may be worth getting used to it over having to get invasive surgery to just to remove them (which might end up compromising your vision even more, and I certainly wouldn't want that for you).
It is a perspective thing. People have had it since they were kids, and some people get it when they're in their 20s and so forth. It's definitely harder to incorporate something like this into your life after having lived 20+ years without it. Trust me, everyone in this thread has felt what you are feeling to some extent to another, which truly makes me happy in a way personally. Reminds me that I'm not alone in this. Having people to talk to about this takes that weight off my shoulders. Sometimes I'm just reminded of how weird the humans body can really be, and how sometimes things just happen to us and we can't do much about it.
I really felt compelled to type something here because just the way you described it, all the little specifics like "Feeling like being in a snowglobe" to the weird pressure sensation above and below your eye and on the side of your nose: I felt it. It just perfectly mirrors all the things I typed in my notes. And I had to live the past 7 months with people just showing indifference to it, or if some did have them, they would just be so casual about how they don't see them anymore, like it never made them want to kill themselves at any point. I was never the kind to be really depressed about my issues, even with covid, but I think the floaters was truly my breaking point, and I haven't really felt like myself since. Like my true self is locked up somewhere in my body or something like that. I've been more prone to lashing out and doing things I wouldn't normally attribute to my personality. Similarly to you, I feel like my life is just slowly being sucked from me, and I just can't enjoy things as much as I can anymore. I'll be riding my bike, look left for cars, then turn right and BOOM, a dot in the center of my vision. I don't have a lot of friends in general, much less ones that would be willing to talk to me about something like this. Ended up losing my remote job in May because of my inability to focus on a screen due to light sensitivity.
And the worst part about it all is how weak I feel when I hear people telling me how they've already gotten over this. I'm a fairly prideful young fella, so this shit cuts deep. SO deep.
I know reading that was probably more depressing than anything, but I needed to get this off my chest too, and it hurts me seeing someone else in the world was going through this exact same thing as me at one point, feeling the same exact shit as I do now. Fortunately I've only noticed my floaters once during my time typing this so that's cool lmao. 
The way I look at it, this is something we're all going to have to get over at one point, otherwise we'd all just be broken all the time walking around not enjoying anything. And I wouldn't wish that on you, or anyone else in the thread. All we can really do is be there for each other to help alleviate this feeling, and then ultimately learn to alleviate this feeling on your own. And only then do I believe we will all be at peace and come to terms with it. (Hell I know there are people who go as far as to name their floaters??? Nah, can't be me. But I appreciate and encourage the positive thinking
- ALL that being said, I noticed it's been a bit of time since the last time you posted, my main question to YOU is: How do you feel now? -
That question can apply to any new person stumbling upon this thread who are new to their floaters like I am, really. It sucks, but life goes on, and we adapt. I wish the best for you Ellak, and pray that you feel less depressed about this in the future. God knows we both need it.
