[I am housebound now] There are so many things, my dry eye has made me very depressed as my life has changed drastically for the worse. I can't go places; reading is just about impossible, can no longer drive, it seems no matter what I use, the dryness is steady. |

[I am housebound now] I am barely leaving the house because of the redness and how dry my eyes are, its mentally effecting me and leaving me feeling unable to do much but apart from worry about my future. I thought I'd get this under control... but I havent. I've struggled and the main part of it is, irratation from allergies causing dryness and that's effecting how I feel about myself. I've spoke to my partners but they dont understand just tell me it could be worse.... if I do leave I've been using sunglasses as to avoid further evaporation of my eyes. |

[I am housebound now] I do leave the house, but no longer take daily walks outside. I "hall-walk" instead. I limit outdoor time, hiking, biking, socializing. |
