  • No, it's not unusual or abnormal. Think about it. Your moods come from your mind and your eyes connect to significant parts of the brain. If you are already stressed out and your eyes are stimulated by bright lights, it can produce a reaction. Some people are sensitive to lights and they can trigger epileptic attacks and headaches.
    Carry sunglasses with you as a prevention. Wear them when you feel vulnerable in these situations, especially at night when you are tired.Tell your counselor or prescribing doctor about these episodes. It might be significant and they can tell you what to do.
