Discussion Would you kill yourself if you would go blind?

[Baskol1]

I would, because with blindness, or near blindness, autism, and chronical pain, chances of success in life are very low. Yes there are some successful autists, and some successful blind people, but have you ever heard of an successful autistic blind man? I personally dont. Would going blind, or near blind be the last straw for you too?

I would imagine it would be extremely difficult to do so. If I did go blind, I honestly have no idea how I would be able to adapt to that though even now with normal vision I really have a hard time with functioning.

I mean before youre going completely blind.

 

[alizee]

Same as if not blind. I think the decision would only depend on if you still enjoy life or not when blind.

Oh my bad, I was thinking you meant if I was to go blind. Regardless of my eyesight, the way I see things doesn't really change. Maybe it would give me more urgency to do so. Is your sight getting bad or did the thought just pop up?

Kill myself asap. Im an artist. I cant imagine having to live 60 years or more without ever seeing the beauty of what Im creating again

 

[Jean Améry]

I would hope I could yes.

Me too, Im a pillhead and recently Ive been getting whiteouts in my eyes, like everything flashes white after I get high, and later my sight is blurry and filled with floaters and black dots. It gives me bad anxiety that Im going blind slowly or something

If I could be cured of everything I still may ctb. I feel beyond done with life, like I've lived hundreds of years crammed into 19. Blindness would be icing on the shitcake

black dots are also floaters. it's worth getting checked out by an optometrist (you don't have to go to hospital if you don't want to and the GP can't usually do the tests as they don't have the equipment) and it only takes a few minutes. It could be something that will resolve itself within a couple of months without treatment but if you've got some flashes of light too then get it checked quickly as it may be a detached retina, which is relatively easily fixed. either way, go and get it checked. you don't need to tell them what you think the trigger is as both symptoms apparently have no easily identifiable cause.

4 days...

 

[OnlyMercy]

I am partially blind and ocular problems are precisely why I'm contemplating suicide.

 

[Darkhaven]

Well it would be way more difficult, but i definately can't imagine living without eyesight, so yeah, i probably would!

 

[Lennox]

Unlike most people here it seems, if my only problem was blindness that would not make me wanna ctb. I'm more attached to my hearing than my eyesight. Losing my hearing, that could make me contemplate suicide.
