I am sorry you are so angry. Losing eyesight is not something I had to deal with; my eyesight had been pretty stable.

It's hard when someone says they will help but does not.

You’ve been dealt with a shitty set of cards and I m sorry.

But I hope you turn that into drive.

Lastly, be patient; know that you can’t do everything you could and it will take you time till you become self reliant (or as close as possible).

Probably not what you want to hear, but I know the feeling. One of my eyes is 20/80 and the other is 20/400. I am not able to get my license so I have to rely on people. On a normal day, I am at work at least an hour early because I have to get dropped of by a time that in convenient to my ride, not me.

Only time I get to go to the grocery store is when it is convenient for my ride.

My life seems to only be based on convenience. But, what am I trying to do to help that,? I'm looking into big cities that have good public transport such as New York or Indianapolis or Atlanta, GA. The reason why I haven't moved yet is because of the expenses.

Try turning that anger into drive. find an NFB training center or lighthouse program you can go to. Work hard enough at it and you won't have to rely on others nearly as much. It's not easy or quick, in fact it will probably be one of the hardest things you've ever done, but it is super important for getting control over your own life again.

Hey man, I feel you. My vision is also going daily and I also hate relying on people as much as I need to, especially with driving!

I can't even think of words of comfort. Losing sight effin sucks.

So, I dunno, if you wanna complain/rant/what-have-you, always feel free to message me. :)

Hi and sorry to hear that
I am also facing the same problem
I have just moved to another country to continue on my higher education and I am now living on my own for the first time
I would like to participate in the activities that my University hold and explore the new city that I am in but I’ll have also to rely on others to help me navigate through
مخبزالتريكي1 folks told me yesterday about this activity that the university union have and I told him that I need someone to pick me up and take me there and he said OK and then he never showed up
So I am feeling isolated in my flat because I’ll always need someone with me
Just saying that we are all in the same boat together
But definitely there are some days that are better than others

ah, i'm sorry you are having a rough time. i am too blind to drive and so i depend on others often. i moved to a city with transit options so i can work and be independent but the trains and buses don't go everywhere. i also find it very frustrating when people are not on time (or add unplanned stops that take up my whole day) and i find myself not asking for help more than i absolutely need to because of this. also, it just sucks to feel like a burden to others.
tomorrow is a new day. i hope it goes better for you.

Sup dawg, currently chillin here with 20/400 in my left eye and 20/500 in my right. I know it may seem hard now but you just gotta adapt to a new way of doing things. Once you do that, you’ll come to realize that ultimately you still have quite a lot of your original autonomy.

hang in there you will adapt , I went from 20/40 to 20/200 in the course of about a month it was hard but I can safely say that I am independent and going strong, you will make it. If family let you down find other way of getting around

I struggled very hard with the relying on other people part. I have a history that gives me good reason to rely on no one. It took sometime but it finally did get better. People still flake, its what they do but it doesnt piss me off nearly as much. I just work at being as reliable as I can in what I do.

I know how this feels my dad is says he’ll pick me and he’s always late, I even mind gamed him until he caught out (told him earlier times). It’s sucks having to wait for people constantly.
