I have a serious aversion to daylight and sunshine because my eyes are very sensitive. I decided to research "the darkest place on Earth", where I could live in peace without blinding migraines, and discovered that the darkest place is considered to be Rujkan, Norway. I was all set to move there when I googled and discovered this horrific insult:

What insult?
BTW, wrap-around sun glasses don't do it for you?
How to albinos cope?
I do have wrap-around polarised sunglasses but they aren't sufficient, and my difficulty with daylight and reflective glare is so extreme that I need to wear them in the house on top of my reading glasses. Even with curtains shut, or on foggy / cloudy / overcast days, ambient lighting makes me tense and ill. I pretty much survive by candle light because I don't like electric lightbulbs either. It's frustrating because I know I'm not alone, especially as an autistic person, but yet there is a misconception on weather reports and in mainstream psychology that everyone loves sunlight or needs a blue sky to be happy. I have Seasonal Affective Disorder against sunshine, but you'll never hear that this is a phenomenon. People say it is "reverse" SAD, as if loving sunshine and fairing poorly in the dark is an automatic norm. It makes me feel alone and hopeless when I hear that even the dark haven of Norway finds it necessary to fight nature, installing mirrors and rays of blinding sun. Even if the people voted for this, I'm sure it wasn't unanimous.
Rant over.

Wow.
This is the first time I have heard about such sensitivity.
Presumably, you have heavy tinting on the windows in addition to block-out curtains.
It is not my intention to make light (oh dear, sorry for the pun

) of your situation but I believe you will see the humour in my query.
Have you been tested for "Renfield's syndrome or Renfield syndrome"?
I.E. Vampirism?
I hope you are feeling better today.
