    Default My eyes stretch/bug out

    Does anyone else have this problem, where their eyes stretch out really wide, like a deer caught in the headlights? Not just in pictures, but also every day most of the time, especially at the computer. It's REALLY embarassing to talk to my boss and co-workers, and friends, and have my boyfriend see it, and it REALLY blows to speak in front of a group of people and know that your eyes bulging out. I can sometimes tell when I'm staring but I can't control it. I went to the doctor to make sure it wasn't my thyroids, and those are clear. But now I don't know what the hell it is! I'm gonna see an eye doctor, because maybe my contact lens prescription is too low. I don't think that's the problem. I think it's my brain. I think it's my psychosis. It makes me look crazy and people can tell that I daydream a whole lot about serious, negative stuff, but I don't know how to stop it. But the eye bulging happens even when I'm not daydreaming. I tried to convince myself that it was cool, that maybe it's cool to look nutty and weird, or that I look innocent and feminine, but no, it's really not cute at all, that was dorky. I'm so tired of putting off nipping this thing in the bud.

    If you go through this, what do you do? If you don't, what do you think I should do, or who do you think I should talk to?

    Do you have access to homeopaths/chinese med specialists/applied kinesiologists? The thing with ergular doctors is that they're trained to detect illnesses not imbalances before disease develops. You mentioned your thyroid and that's what is making me say this.

    Where are you located? I might be able to help you find an alternative.

    I've seen a picture in a med book of some sort of buildup behind the eye pushing it out...but you've seen an optometrist, right? I don't know, I've never seen that in person. Is it new, or have your eyes always been that way?

    You probably just have googly eyes, like me. A plastic surgeon called it "negative vector". The say cheek implants would help me, and so would some fat grafted into my tear area. Are your eyes big to begin with?

    Thyroid levels can vary from time to time. Perhaps you should find out if routinely re-testing is recommended by your doctor. My mother has hyperthyroidism and her levels varied all the time. Best wishes.
