Really wish I could enjoy a lovely sunny day again. It often hurts and burns my eyes, last summer it was so painful hid behind my sunglasses and rarely went outside. became a bit reclusive stayed in my flat a lot of the time I always found it difficult to socialize and get tired in the day taking naps in the afternoon when I could at the time; I have prescription light sensitive shades now and they work much better can absorb some of the sun's rays without hurting me too much and be able to maintain my sleep cycle better at night I still get some disturbances in the night and I have to hide in a darker room at times in the day to rest my sensitive, sleepy eyes and recharge my batteries so I don't get too tired it can be difficult to focus when your eyes are constantly burning normal sounds are even magnified too I have to wear headphones to help me navigate when travelling in the busy streets as noises are super loud my sleeping patterns have always been so erratic at night would often feel really hyper at half 3 am must be down to all those late night drinking sessions and parties in my youth. I'm also very creative minded and my mind won't shut up it prefers to wake me up at night. I always wondered why I always preferred the dark over the light as it was always calmer and quieter and I can think much better. Its almost if I have became a bat lady over the years down to these random patterns in my life. I always had a fascination with vampires and gothic stories so things do make sense to me just wish I didn't have to live this way all the time can't wait for my light sensitive treatment to be given to me so I can be more tolerate to the sun and day light regain my eye sight and hearing enjoy my outings and times with my friends and family without any horrible pain and dizzy spells be a lady of the day instead a lady of night again. I'm a summer baby too being born in the month of July I absolutely adore the sun and want to go to the beach and feel that calm, crisp air and make sandcastles with my little girl maybe this year it will be the year to do all this and break the horrible spell of photophobia so I can be feel more normal again and not be a bat lady of the night.
