Light sensitive?

Post Reply New Topic

I can tolerate the sun but it tends to give me headaches. I usually like rooms dark or dimly lit; I removed all the light bulbs out of the light in my room because of that. I can't stand LEDS except red ones; I have a roll of black electrical tape I have used to cover every one I see.

I am very sensitive to light. I think I may have developed Seasonal Affective Disorder with it. I live in the UK and so our winters are very dark and days short. This I think causes me to lose lots of energy and I sleep constantly. It has ruined jobs for me. The spring comes and I get elated, then I arc back down and become reclusive most of the summer. I think I retreat because I can sense that all the other people are out enjoying the summer, and I feel that I don't belong with them. But I do prefer summer to winter. But spring is the best. I do like autumn though, which makes me wonder if I should be living closer to the equator so the days are more equal in length to the night.

I'm sensitive to light, most especially natural light. I don't think it effects my mood at all. I'm going to be purchasing a pair of glasses with transitions lenses to see if that helps me.

i think i'm sensative to light but not that much, and i dont have much to compare it to.
i cant sunbath properly like the rest of my family becuase the sunlights painful even through my eyelids, they dont seem to have that problem?

I'm glare sensitive, to a big degree. But I've been training myself to not be so light sensitive (well, sun sensitive). It's one of my latest self-challenges.

I'm very light sensitive. When I am forced to walk with the sunlight in my face I feel increasingly agitated and panicky. I also hate it when you walk past things such as trees and the sunshine is on off on off. I avoid going out during the day on sunny days and tend to wait until the sun has gone down. I wish I were brave enough to wear a brimmed hat to keep my eyes shaded but I would draw attention to myself, which would be just as bad. Also I wear glasses to see properly so sunglasses are not really an option.

At home I never use the overhead lights, just small lamps around the place. I love being in a room with very subdued lighting. It's when I feel most comfortable. On sunny days if I am at home I usually keep the curtains closed.

I'm actually happy that the summer solstice is almost here and the days will soon be starting to get shorter again.

I am very sensitive to light which didn't use to be a problem as I grew up in western Washington state where it was grey and cloudy most of the time. But then my family moved to Phoenix, Arizona when I was 12 and now it's bright, blistering hot sunshine 320+ days of the year. This led me to realize that I'm also hypersensitive to temperatures & humidity levels...from late May to mid-October I feel like I'm going to dessicate into human jerky then burst into flames whenever I step outside even for a second. I have to keep the AC cranked to arctic temperatures and stay indoors a lot. It can be very depressing & leads to more frequent meltdowns.

Yes. I am greatly affected by bright sunlight/lights. I deplore the Summer's light/heat and absolutely cannot stand it.

I prefer rainstorms and darkness.
