Seeing fairies

"Hello,

It's been awhile since I've visited the forum, I must go back and see what is new.

I've had visual snow for as long as I can remember. When I was a very little girl I remember laying in my bed at night in darkness or semi-darkness, pretending that the snow was fairy dust and that the floaters I sometimes see were night fairies. It was a child's way to deal with the affliction because the grownups in my life either did not pay attention when I brought up the topic of my snow, did not understand what I was describing to them or worse perhaps just thought I was making it up.

The snow is with me all the time, its strength varies constantly. I suffered for most of my life with bouts of depersonalization and derealization... until I found out that what I always saw that no one else did actually had a name! I was soooo happy the day I found the visual snow forum. Reading everyone's stories brought me so much relief. I have not suffered from depersonalization / derealization ever since. I am fully aware of my snow and the effect it has had on my thinking proccess and how I have 'viewed' the world all this time. Somehow reading everyone's stories on the forum snapped me into the knowing that depersonalization / derealization is a big pile of elephant dung and I just don't think myself into circles anymore.

Perhaps having my daughter helped too. Having a child has made me a more positive individual (not that I was neccessarily negative before). Focusing on my family has taken away from focusing on the snow, which is great! I get to enjoy my life!

That said, I still wish a cure for all visual snow could be found. How I would love to see the world through clear eyes.

Btw I've never been through any kind of testing / evaluation. As for my little girl, I hope she doesn't have snow, but if she does I will believe her and try to help her in any way I can.

It's pretty cool that someone has formed a myspace group for visual snow. Anything that can get people to the forum for the support they need is a great thing, especially considering how many people don't even realize (like I did) that what they have been dealing with has a name... visual snow."
