Oh, hon. Not ridiculous at ALL! Actually, for me, when things are being Handled and Dealt With, it's even MORE stressful because that means other people are doing active things for changes, and when I'm in my little hamster running wheel of STRESS, relying on other people to do The Things is like greasing up the gears with WD-40 to make said running wheel go even faster. And even when I know that Other People are more capable, the right people to handle The Things, it doesn't shut up the voice in my head screaming about independence and I should be DOING THE THINGS because it's MY THING and I am a terrible person for not being active and fixing THE THING.
Basically, letting other people help is ALSO stressful and it takes stupid time and stupid distance to really cope with that.
And something that works for me when I'm hamster balling out of control? Is to find a comfortable, soft place, put on mellow-ass music (see: "Hands to Heaven" by Breathe, etc.) and mentally focus on releasing tension body part by body part. It helps A LOT and just lets me slow my brain down. *hugs* And keep walking!
AND YAY, HEALTHY RETINA! YAY, HEALTHY NERVES! I am 100% jealous of your awesome eyes! :D
