I’m getting so sick of having to strain to see. Every day is a chore because of my worsening eyesight. Someone can be standing five feet away from me, and their face is a blur. I can’t read their expressions. This makes it difficult to interact with people. I don’t even like going anywhere because of it. In the grocery store I have to get right on top of a price tag to see what it says. If something is on a high shelf? Forget it. Low shelf? I’m on the floor, literally, trying to see. I almost have to touch my nose to my cell phone to see it. Computer screen, same thing.

I tried to get disability because there’s no way I can work like this, but I got a letter saying, “Oh, your eyesight isn’t that bad. Our ‘files’ indicate you can still work. So no financial help for you!”

It left me feeling broken and abandoned. I’m so helpless and so freaking useless. I hate this. Everyone tells me to try again, but I’m afraid to. I don’t know if I could handle all the red tape again.

Yet my aunt’s friend who is on disability for a “back injury” goes out and parties, dances, drinks, and does all kinds of lifting and stuff on her own time, but she still gets a check.

I wouldn’t be trying to get help if I didn’t need it, damn it. I hate being legally blind. I HATE IT. I want my eyesight back. But I have to pay the bills. I have to eat. I don’t know what to do.

Why did this have to happen to me? I’m only in my 20s. I’m too young to be going blind.

I f****** hate you (bf) , you f****** manipulative,hypocrite, emotionally abusive, vaping, life draining, wannabe player b******. I.HATE YOU. I still deeply resent you. This is why everyone thinks you’re an a****** at your job. You’re not some anti-hero that you claimed to be. No- You’re just an a******. Point blank . Especially to me of all people! You always take it out on me, and you still wonder why I won’t touch you like that or shut down completely with you. Everytime you sense or feel even an inch that im happy, peaceful, something I enjoy doing you immediately smash that down so you can feel better and have power over me. What’s funny is that every time you’re in the wrong, overstep your boundaries, make me really upset or talk crap to me – karma smacks you right in the face everytime & you don’t even realize it. Funny how you’ve said yourself that people spit at the sky just for it to come back-yet you’ve done the exact same thing too – you’re not godlike or safe from getting karma, even I’ve dealt with karma too when I was in the wrong many times too. So no- you’re not a misunderstood dark knight turn bad like the joker you claim to be. You’re just an egotistical bigoted jerk & everyone can see that except you. I hate myself that I fell for your facade – lovebomb trap years ago . And all the times that you’ve talked crap about other’s appearances, especially women’s, karma yet again smacked you in the face & put on a ton of weight and still wonder why you haven’t lost pounds but still continue on demanding me to cook & make you even more food despite you complaining about it , hmmmm , gee I wonder why. Anyways , glad to vent that out .
