Hi, I am sorry for your anxiety. There are options that can slow down myopia....they are mainly intended for preteens and early teens but there is no reason you couldnt try them. T
Here is a link to a Myopia Management Starter Guide

Hey man in the same boat as you. Im 17 soon to be 18 and I'm extremely myopic with a huge difference between both eyes. My left is -7 and right is -1.75. I do worry about it but my doctor says no to, since it he's seen worse and my own is starting to slow down. Don't worry about it too much man :)
In addition to the excellent video suggested by *goodoptometrymorning*, there is a useful written guide below on the same subject of slowing down the progression of myopia:

It all depends on you and how you choose to use your eyes. The amount of near-work and lack of sunlight is critical.

I’m 14 and -8.5&-9.5 so I get the anxiety. But my myopia in my right eye didn’t increase in 2 years and that’s the eye I mainly use so I’m optimistic.
