Well I'm only visually impaired, so this might not help your project, but I spend most of my time playing video games and watching tv. this is something lots of people I know, who are completely blind do, since there are games that are audio based, and some TVs have built in audio description.
The only thing I can think of when it comes to daily life struggles, is when I have to go somewhere on my own, since I have a hard time navigating in unfamiliar areas. However, that is a problem I don't have to deal with that much, because I have lots of friends that help me out whenever I need it.

I'm just impaired, so different from being a total.
I know the roads around where i live, and remember things where i've been to before. So how to find a bus stop, where to get off, which floor something is, and have sort of mental map of things that rely less and less on visual landmarks.
On a bad weather or in dark i can get lost very easily. Nighttime is just light perception, sound, and being scared of attracting unsavory crowds.
I miss all the details in people's appearances so I can't tell if someone is 9 months pregnant unless i remember them telling it before. Or if someone is a bus driver, but i sort of assume the person sitting on the driver's seat is the driver. I have no clue what my neighbors look like, especially if they don't have dogs. Recognizing anyone out of usual context? Not a chance. Facial expressions are another nightmare, and so are occasions where there's some stupid dresscode against dark shades, my eyes hurt, and darkness feels better.
I read a lot of audiobooks and set to pretty fast. Music, occasional tv or movies (i miss most jokes anyway). I love braille but don't have a display so it's all audio and keyboard. Nothing else interesting. I run, like occasional crafts, gardening, cooking, try to socialize with people at least once a week.

Being blind sucks. I spend my days either eating or sleeping or waiting until it's time to eat or sleep because nothing entertains me without vision, and I struggle a lot with Braille.

I think about killing myself every day, and the only reason why I haven't gone through with it yet is because I'm afraid of the consequences of failing a suicide attempt.
