Need some help

Question

Hi all! I've never posted on reddit before but certain circumstances have sadly led me to this subreddit. A couple days ago I (19F) noticed weird things moving all over my wall, which I now know to be the BFEP, it wasn't very noticeable but I unwisely became obssesed and started forcing my eyes to focus on every surface and before I knew it, I started seeing static all over my vision, even when it was bright, it's not nearly as bad as some of the pictures I've seen but it's still noticeable, and no it was not the BFEP they look very different to me.

I honestly don't know if it had always been there and once I noticed it I couldn't stop seeing it or if I somehow developed it in that moment. It's been causing me quite a lot of stress and I've been feeling physically weak since then. I've also been getting headaches at night when I never used to get them, yesterday I got a particularly nasty one when I was out during a night walk with my sister, I felt lightheaded and almost out of it? I could still move and speak perfectly but it felt like I wasn't the one doing those movements. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this how VSS starts? Does it get better :(?
