I felt this way a lot when I was younger, before I got more blindness skills training. That's really what helps, just knowing how to get out and about and making yourself do it. Are you able to get in touch with any local organizations that help the blind?

Im in touch with a local organization but I just wanted to hear what helps people who are blind when they get sad about being blind.

Oh man, that's not one I'm familiar with anymore. I don't get sad about being blind, just frustrated at how people treat me because I'm blind. When I was going through a big vision downgrade, I was sad over things I lost, so I spent time finding new ways to do them (reading in braille, writing instead of drawing, trying unsuccessfully to learn to play the ukulele, etc). Just sitting around feeling sorry for myself over something I can't control didn't help so I didn't waste my time with it.

I actually didn't realize I was visually impaired til I was much older. I was very quiet and didn't question my vision. I've only realized how bad my vision was for 4 or 5 years now so it's still relatively new. I do get what you mean about getting used to it.
