I will try to articulate how I feel right now--

I have been dealing with these few floaters for a few months now. They drive me crazy. As I said I do not think I am anywhere close to as bad as some of the guys on here but my condition is still a big deal to me. Before I got these floaters I was just starting to come to terms with my hairloss, which has been a very difficult struggle for me over the past few years. Losing your hair at age 21 is no fun, believe me, and coping has been an uphill battle with many months of depression. Every since these floaters though I feel that I have a new perspective-- if only I could get rid of them I would be so grateful and my hairloss would be nothing to me. I have read much on these forums and elsewhere and it's always the same old story-- people who thought these would get better but after years and years they never did, whose lives it impacted very negatively. Some people have deep depression, other people have lost some friendships, etc. It all sounds very bad, and I am well aware that I am susceptible to bouts of depression. I am an aspiring writer and journalist, and something of a bookworm. I used to read multiple novels per week and read much online. Now I tend to avoid this and do only the bare minimum reading for school as the floaters make reading (something I used to love) very bothersome. It is difficult for me to concentrate.

Enough rambling, I am sorry. image

I guess what I'm trying to say is that waiting a long time seems that it would be so pointless, as from what I have seen all it can lead to is much struggling and sadness. I feel that if I knew 100% that I was going to have to do something about it eventually, I would do it tomorrow! image

I am somewhat kidding, and I understand that before anything like this surgery will come, at least, many many months of thought and research. Perhaps years would be necessary but that is what I am just now trying to understand. I am trying to be as realistic as possible. I am simply afraid that, when I eventually went to get it done, the doctor would say "I have seen much worse cases than this, please think it over and try to live with it." Ahh!
