You ever sit in total silence—like, really quiet—and suddenly notice those weird, drifting specs in your vision? Like little threads or specks floating around when you try to focus? Yeah, me too. It’s like the quieter the environment, the louder those floaters seem to get. For me, it started during silent room meditation sessions. I…
It’s wild how anxiety can sneak up on you, right? One minute you’re fine, and the next, it feels like a truckload of stress just parked itself on your chest. I used to think I could push through it. “Just breathe,” people would say. But when you’re in the thick of it—hands shaky, mind racing,…

If you’ve ever felt that invisible weight on your chest or that constant, gnawing unease that doesn’t…
If you’ve ever stared at a tiled wall or a white ceiling and suddenly caught strange shapes dancing across your vision—like threads, cobwebs, or translucent squiggles—you’re not alone.
