I'm going blind robots. The doctors have told me that in about the next 2 months my eyes will completely lose all eyesight. What the fuck am I gonna do? How the fuck do you go from living as someone with sight to being blind?
How the fuck am I going to use a computer? How do you even do that while blind? Because I've turned on the voice assist on my PC by accident before and it was annoying as fuck.
If I can't easily post here I may as well kill myself. What should I do with my last two months of sight?
joke post: watch porn real post: go to /tv/ and ask for recommendations for the most visually stunning films/shows out there so you can watch them before it happens go look at beautiful paintings, beautiful people, beautiful animals, beautiful landscapes, just so you can at least store them inside your head
i'm sorry user
Joseph Lee
>If I can't easily post here I may as well kill myself. Do it.
I can confidently say that if I lost my sight I'd 100% off myself.
Liam White
Why are you going completely blind? Did your eyes get physically injured?
Nathaniel King
My guess is OP has diabetus.
Dylan Roberts
Thanks for the replies bots. I have a weird case of glaucoma. Apparently I have a building fluid in my eyes and it's damaging my optic nerves. I had an issue once before but never like this. It's like having a headache in your eyes 24/7
Jonathan Perez
travel as much as possible. just pack up and do it. airbnbs for 30 a night in just about any city or if poorfag you can just hoof it and sleep in a tent or something
Levi Cox
Damn, if you're not larping i feel really bad for you user, i don't know what i'd do without eyesight. Probably rope desu. I wish you the best of luck
Colton Parker
Jesus fucking hell. I couldn't even imagine. I know people learn to use the computer though while blind. This world is so unfair. I'm sorry.
The docs can't do ANYTHING to help? No surgery? No laser?
Noah Bennett
See if you can get surgery or any medical operation first. Until then, enjoy seeing the world for the last time.
Andrew Jenkins
To be completely honest with you, you should prepare a method of suicide. I'm sorry, user.
Robert Torres
do everything you can to get your sight back. but in the mean time, find someone to love you. so you can say "put a good song on for me" instead of searching yourself, know what i mean? also look intensively into lucid dreaming. since you already have had sight before, lucid dreams can 100% replicate it, but even better. i highly suggest you start learning. i personally lost my sense of hearing when i was 12, but in dreams i can hear completely fine.
Stop eating sugar and go FULL ALKALINE PARASITE CLEANSE. No dairy bread grains no sugar nothing processed. Youll might fix whatever you have....
Hudson Watson
There is nothing that can be done. Not unless I'm able to come up with 120000 in the next couple of months.The doctor said I still had a couple weeks even after going completely blind before any permanent damage was done. Even then it only has a partial chance of working. I'm not rich so the only option is to go blind. Fuck I wish I lived in canada or something. Such bullshit
William Brooks
All doctors are lying scum you probably have an eye or brain parasite. Go aklaline and probably rub coconut oil or other anti parasitic things on your eye and let it sit there. Obviousoy eye closed. Sugar degenerates the eyes. Every disease can br cured with aklaline and anti parasites. You have nothing to lose
Landon Richardson
Jesus Christ American healthcare. You need to go to Mexico or Thailand or somewhere else that will give the treatment cheap. Who cares if they're docs aren't as good. At least you may have a chance.
Bentley Scott
Call your local medicaid office and call Medicare too. You should be able to google their numbers and get answers. Maybe try and see if some private insurance company will take you and cover the surgery since it's definitely medically necessary.
Alexander Gray
try and take a loan and do everything everyone else is saying
try pure organic diet and clean purified water
Bentley Adams
listen to these guys op. dont fuckin wait, do someting NOW. i personally would suggest you take out a loan. you can just file bankruptcy later, or flee the country.
Ah, the mortifying blow of realizing ones fragility. Doesnt it just feel downright wrong? Why! Says the victim. Shouldnt a functioning body be an inalienable right? What has deprived me then? Oh why would god do allow this? Curse my luck, curse my circumstance.
You have two choices OP. Kill yourself or adjust to being blind. Way, way easier said than done.
Lincoln Richardson
Jesus Christ this is the most depressing shit I've read in a long time. I'm sorry Op. Your in my prayers.
What? Then what are dreams? How anomalous they are. We require raw sensory input to detect things yet dreams conjur up it out of nothing.
Oliver Martinez
I also wanna add. You can call your representatives too. Call your senators offices and your congressman and tell them. You'll get an intern but that's ok. They'll still note your story. And if you call medicaid they'll probably put your issue at the top of the list and try and get you immediate help.
Liam Green
hey man, medical technology is improving every day, you could probably do some kind of surgery in the near future to get it back. in the mean time you could get into audiobooks and such.
Gabriel Stewart
dreams use memory as input instead, but sometimes it synthesizes external input (a dog walking on you while youre sleeping could appear as heavy snow pelting you in a dream).
think of it like this, when you get punched, the nerves fire and rush to your brain. when your brain receives the signal, it produces the feeling of pain. in a lucid dream, that signal is reproduced when required in the "story."
Nathaniel Ross
doesn't weed work really good for glaucoma? deep web is as easy as logging on a site sending sending BTC to yourself and filling out an address form
50 dollars should get you a good chunk of bud. raw makes all natural hemp papers
Andrew Kelly
I'm studying to be a biomedical engineer. I'll work on something for you someday, if you're not baiting.
Alexander Foster
trying to exploit a man about to lose his sight. come on man.
Ayden Butler
what? weeds an all natural medicine been used for glaucoma before it was used medically for literally everything
Robert Morgan
You're retarded, it doesn't treat it, it just relieves the symptoms for a few hours.
Gavin Turner
I would 100% kill myself, there's no point in existing if you're blind.
Ethan Gutierrez
Smoke some weed bruh I can mail you sum
Kayden Russell
you can try online funding, user. wish you the best of luck.
otherwise, i'd listen to
Jose Stewart
stop peddling lies on an anonymous image board, nobody is impressed by you. Weed lowers eye pressure which slows the degenerative affects that glaucoma has on the optic nerve
William Carter
Unironically kill yourself. I would do it the week I heard about it.
Colton Green
take a fuck tonne of chollinergic meds OP, they will flush out some of the liquid in ur eye and slow down the production of more liquid. trust me im a med student
All hope may no be lost. We already have technology that allows the blind to see with robotic eyes. Hopefully there will be advancements in the near future so you can regain your eye sight through bionics. Until then just find all the wonder in the world there is to look at and bask in it's splendor.
Brandon Adams
If you're dealing glaucoma you may want to look into adding quercetin into your diet. Quercetin has been shown to protect retinal ganglion cells and glaucoma damages those cells. Best source of quercetin would be capers but you can also try red onions.
Real advice from a real blind user Get an ipad and iphone Good blind access
Zachary Hall
How do you use this site? How do you do basic tasks like trouble shooting a computer issue? Why haven't you decaded your life into creating some computerized super vision replacement?
Jaxon Russell
Im so sorry user, I suggest you seriously look into audio and protect your ears at all costs.
Meanwhile look at some inspiring pictures so you can store them in your memory.
I don't know why but when he started asking "What the fuck am I gonna do?" I started reading it as a comedy bit and everything he said after that made me bust out laughing
Gabriel Brooks
Unironically kys Life is not worth living without vision I am sorry user
USA is a third world country. An absolute shit show.
Sebastian Torres
>people telling op to eat onions, smoke weed and dose up on antiparasitics?????
Is this facebook? I hate this shithole.
OP, you need legal representation asap, consult local medical charities, go to reddit and ask on their legal advice board for detailed instructions. A loan isn't a bad idea in your shithole of a country.
Good luck. Get to work asap.
Luke Campbell
OP literally has an incurable degenerative disease, you're treating this like he has a tumor or something that can just be removed and then done and gone. Any treatment, whether it's 12 thousand or 12 million won't change the fact that OP will eventually go blind
Daniel Ortiz
>is this facebook? >tells OP to go to reddit gb2r, loser, if he wanted legal advice he wouldn't've come here in the first place
Jaxson Ortiz
Take the best possible care of yourself and your health. Try to make the best out of the time you have no eyesight, doing things you can do without it. One day, as you are older, it might be possible to bring your sight back, in some way. I wish you a lot of strength.
Connor Powell
I'd off myself, jacking off would be too difficult.
Joseph Lopez
Can you not see your fucking dick?
Asher Diaz
Better than 4book, kys. He probably comes here thinking it's community like it was before you shitbreathers turned up.
Brody Diaz
Maybe he didn't think about legal advice in the first place, retard.
Chase Turner
Fuck all of you. Fuck you a lot
Austin Phillips
Prepare a fat playlist for you iPod.
Oliver Howard
get the eternal mangekyo sharingan
Jonathan Howard
Since your country pretty much told you to fuck off, i'd look in alternative medicine e.g. metaphysical causes of glaucoma, biofeedback/bioresonance or whatever else you can find.
Liam Bailey
Are you OP? If you are OP, you said yourself you might as well kil lyourself, and we're just recommending that you do I haven't posted in this thread yet, but if I were in your shoes, I'd kill myself too. I can't imagine living life without sight and I don't want to know.
Blake Torres
Try to chill. Maybe eat some fruits/vegetables.
Anthony Martin
Try contacting people about STEM cells. Use credit or loans if you have to
Try to check if you can get multiple loans for the operation and reach the sum. Keep 1000$ for one-way ticket and fuck off of the country.
Sebastian Miller
Make a tinder account explaining the situation, you will get sympathy fucked for weeks user, that is if you can't get with a girl ofc and make it public, make a gofund me or make a yt video, get on talk shows, write a book.
William Sanchez
Try to eat a lot of carrots, they are good for eyesight
Nathaniel Anderson
holy shit OP i feel for you. i had lasik eye surgery in july 2016 and suffer from severe dry eye and horrible dim light vision (due to a too small optical zone) ever since, so I cant drive at night, I cant go for nightwalks and I cant chill at dim light places (like cinema or just comfy at home). my life is pretty much ruined and I tried to fix it with scleral lenses and custom fitted rigid gas permeable lenses but it didnt work out. been depressed ever since i had the surgery, gained 30lbs. this is a vid about Lasik from yesterday: youtube.com/watch?v=bs0HsRYeDNE OP, i am honest with you: I know how fucked up it is to lose part of the eyesight, its BY FAR the worst thing that ever happened to me. i dont know how I would cope with going blind. its just unbelievable how shitty that is. especially if you love spending your life on an imageboard. and its way worse than not seeing from birth, because people who are born blind dont even know how great it is (loss aversion) i dont know what to tell you..i just feel for you. i am sorry
You can actually use a computer quite well as a blind person via screen reading software/braille keyboards/etc. There are even very successful blind programmers. Learn about the software available and get comfortable using them and read about how others deal with this.
Think of it this way. You are going blind in a time where 99% of mankind's collective knowledge media and communications has been digitized into text form and accessible via text interfaces. It's not like there is any good time to be blind, but if you have to be blind this is by far and away the best time in the history of forever.
Oliver Sullivan
I know I'm gonna get REEE'd at for this because >reddit, but OP you should check out Jow Forumsgonewildaudio, it's one of the best sources I have found of audio-based porn in English at least
Evan Howard
Also in a dream and lucid dream there is no dulling of senses no sensory habituation as the signals are not coming from an external source and traveling up the nerves to the brain but being produced by the brain itself. This is why people claim to have vivid lucid dreams that feel and look realer than reality, because the signals are being generated on the spot rather than being picked up by the brain, which means in real life you might stand under a shower and feel the drops hitting you but the brain will eventually filter out or dull that sensation slightly as it becomes accustomed to it and because you only have so much nerve receptors to work with, while in a lucid dream you can feel that sensation much more strongly because there is no limit to the signals it produces in response to the shower and your expectations based on reality for what it should feel like on your body and that sensation won't fade over time because theres no habituation because everything in a dream is being generated in your brain directly, every sensation and every feeling, unlike in reality where sensations are external.
Jonathan Bailey
Can you get a second opinion? Try for an operation or something that can save your eyes, prepare for blindness but absolutely don't let your eyes go just yet.
Eli Wright
I'm actually really scared of this. I'm not the OP but I do have glaucoma but not as bad and i'm taking beta blockers? Will I eventually go blind even if I take treatment? Is there any hope?
Jaxon Brown
That's insane, dude. Have you ever done DMT?
Brody Edwards
try the meat and water diet. Maybe that will fix your health.
Josiah Hall
Serioua question, if op were in prison, would this medical procedure be covered by the state.
Because if you have no other choice, you could try robbing banks for the money and if you get caught, the prison will pay for it
Jayden Hill
unironically become a music critic
Ryan Collins
buy a rope while you can
Camden Powell
It's my favorite place for porn. I'm trying to quit porn in general, but there is some GOOD shit floating around on there. this one leaves me fucking diamonds.
Also, see some more doctors and try to at least get put on meds and prolong it. It might not be perfect, but you might be able to at least preserve some level of eyesight.
I really wish you luck user. I hope you can still make it. If you lived near me, I'd be your friend at least and help you.
Leo Ramirez
OP you should make a GoFundMe or a Kickstarter to help, and spread the news around town. It will be easier if you live in a small town but if you live in a big town try to get someone who has all eyes on them, e.g. local newstations.
I'd just like to remind everyone ITT that there's people on this very website that defend the for-profit healthcare system currently in place in the US and are against universal coverage. I hope they all die from not being able to afford a medical procedure.
I think it's strange that people don't want to pay taxes for other people's healthcare, but I imagine op's procedure of 120k is waaayyyy less than the cost he will put on society as a blind man.
