So I have had enough living in suffering over my girlfriend and wearing sunglasses all day.

This week I have taken my sunglasses off for certain amounts of time and under certain lights. What I've noticed is that I'm not having as bad of a reaction as anticipated. I don't get chronic headaches with the sunglasses. Without them I have felt a bit dizzy, light headed and slight pressure at the two sides of my head above my ear but no severe headaches. Perhaps I have developed this more severe light sensitivity by hiding from every little light. I know that I'm not making up the whole thing as I do feel exhausted from this but I'm not sure if I should continue with this routine.

The past three days I walked outside without shades (overcast skies) for 5 minutes or so. I seem to feel at my baseline level after sleeping. Any thoughts? I'm not sure how your photosensitivity symptoms manifest.
