... chorioretinal scars in my left eye. This was my ophthalmologist. I'm freaking out and afraid I'm going blind. My floaters are getting worse and they are starting to look like globs and long long lines with dots in them. Does anyone else have this problem? Please help

Floaters are common. This is sometimes when a blood vessel within the eye pops because of high blood pressure.
This then relates to you keeping your blood pressure down to better levels. Fear and freaking out do not help. Running is also a problem. Raising your blood pressure too much does not help. Eventually the floaters do get stringy as you stated.
The fluid of the eye does not have any real exchange method for cleaning the vitreous fluid.
To verify the floaters are still there, simply sit in a room with a window. Look outside then inside on a shadow or plain wall. This resembles jelly which has not set.
This does happen to some of us. I would suggest you find out if you have chronic high blood pressure. Keeping your salt intake to 3/4 teaspoon of salt daily from all and EVERY sources is better for your own body health.
The problems of the eye may seem tremendous. Yet too much salt in the diet or just being a junk food junkie, can put you on a path leading directly to having a stroke or cardiac arrest.
