Well for those who r born blind may be they won't face this. But for those who suddenly loss their sight, how do u cope with life? I think its sometimes quite frustrating especially when u can easily do things when u can c but then now have to ask for help. What do u all think?
Well 9 years ago, I was faced with this issue. I went from being fully sighted to having nothing in a matter of months. It was very hard at first, but with good family and such, I was able to cope with it slowly. It took me over a year and going to training to get over the loss. But the thought of sadness and killing myself was there for quite a while afterwards, but I am still floating around in this thing we call life.
Well, I think anybodsy who is honest with themselves will tell you that there are days when dealing with sight loss is harder some days than it is others, and I don't care how long someone has been blind. It depends on the task you want to do, or have to do. I can only say that in my opinion the bad/down days get fewer and further between, the longer a person has dealt with vision loss. At 51, I still have those down days, and I was born with a small amount of vision. Again, if a person is honest, they'll tell you that not all days are created equal, as it were.

I lost my sight when I was 1 year old so cant remember what it is like to see properly. Some times I say things like sorry for being blind which is silly I know. I suffer from depression to.
ya i totally agree with lou. When things are smooths its a happy day but when things aren't that smooths its really a challenge. And that thought can be with you forever. But if you have good and loving family and friends then their support in very much appreciated.
