Finally, Free From Suffering
All of us in this world of the living have our fair share of sufferings. Be it small or big, for sure nobody is excused from it. Sufferings come in different forms: starting from emotional, financial, physical or spiritual. Now let me divulge to you one of my many sufferings in the physical aspect.
I have counted years already in enduring this pain, it's not a malady but it affects me a lot in living everyday. This even hinders me from doing errands and in focusing to any task I am attending to. I am referring to my eyes. Since long time ago, I often complain about my chronic headache. I can't even work with computer for long because my eyes could not withstand the light it emits and the tiny letters and numbers on the screen especially if I work with Microsoft excel.
At home my head will start aching oftentimes at around 6 pm onwards. Sometimes it stops aching if I will take a short nap but sometimes it won't.
Sometimes, in grocery stores I felt like throwing up while staring at those massive products with the same color and shapes which are arranged beside each other on the shelves. To me it was like torture.
This happens almost everyday and lasted for several years. As a mother, it really is an agony. Mothering two toddlers requires my whole attention. If possible, 12 hours in a day, seven days in a week and headache will not excuse me from my duties for a while. There were even some times when my husband wasn't at home and a headache struck again. At those moments, I really had to bear it as much as I could because I can't set my children aside to entertain the pain. I am their mother so I had to endure it for them because that is what mothers do. I have missed so much of my life because of this suffering and I think I could not longer withstand it. This has to come to an end.
I know I can do something and I have to do it as soon as possible. Yesterday was the day I have finally decided to seek for some intervention. I was accompanied by my ever supportive husband to an opthalmologist to have my eyes checked.
There, the doctor explained to me that I am having astigmatism. That's why my head aches a lot, the color of my eyes turn reddish sometimes and my eyes are always dry. She added that this is caused by radiation, lack of sleep, stress and many more. Because of astigmatism, I was advised to wear eyeglasses to stop the headache from coming again and somehow slowly eradicate astigmatism.
Honestly, I know I'll end up with eyeglasses once I'll seek for medical help. This is the reason why it took me years to finally decide to have my eyes checked. My husband kept on advising me to do it before but I refused. I told him it was bearable and I think it's so hassle to do my daily household chores especially with kids if I have a pair of lenses on.
Yesterday I have started wearing my eyeglasses and I realized that though it's a bit hassle but actually it really ended my agony.
Maybe it was just my fear which prevailed that caused my suffering to prolong.
My fear of looking a little bit older and fear from the hassle that it would bring, my fear to try something not realizing it's worthwhile.
This time my suffering has come to an end and so is this article. I hope you had a great time.
