I had been a bit sensitive to bright lights. I usually got “sensory overload”, such as nausea and migraine (like travel sickness!), when I am exposed to bright screens or light for a prolonged time, but this did not impact my everyday life so much. However, due to the deterioration in my sensitivity, I became unable to look at any digital screens, including my phone and laptop, without taking frequent long breaks, even though I turned my screens as dim as possible. I also found it hard to go shopping, including grocery shopping, because the ceiling lights, fridges and freezers were too bright for me. I often wondered what abilities I still had and what jobs I would be able to do after graduation with my very limited ability.
