Stop doomscrolling to get rid of them!

Hey guys. I have never posted on here before but I was a frequent doom scroller on here back in 2023 when my floaters first appeared. The summer of 2023 I spent my nights making myself feel scared by scrolling on here for hours. I was obsessed with my floaters, they bothered me every second of everyday and I felt myself sink into a deep depression over them. I also was obsessed with being on here, I would look for solutions and read others scary stories, which led me to obsess over them even more. Now in 2025, I hardly notice my floaters. In moments of stress, sometimes. When I get reminded of them (like right now 😂), yes. But overall, I either don’t even notice they are there, or when I do, they don’t bother me, scare me, or even really annoy me, they are just there. If you told me this in 2023 I would say you’re lying and think that was impossible. I am someone with high functioning anxiety, which is something a realized a lot of others in this reddit are too. The BEST thing I could do for my floaters was to stop doomscrolling on here, all that made me do was think about them more, which made them even worse. The only reason I am even thinking of them now is because I recently started therapy and somehow we got on the topic of health anxiety, which reminded me of the awful months I spent obsessing over these. I hope this helps everyone. Take a deep breath. I know how scary it is and I know it is easier said than done. But try. Let life happen. And when you do, the fear and noticeable will diminish.
