[Serious] Have you ever considered suicide? If so, why and why didn't you do it?

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I developed a neurological condition two years ago that affects my vision. It has definitely altered my life and my personality. I am always trying to cope with the progression. I have been out of work for a while and I'm trying to find someone that will hire me but I know I have trouble with computer screens and reading.

The past few months I have been pushing myself to do as many things as I can despite being difficult or uncomfortable because one of the hardest parts of this was the loss of normalcy. It has helped me feel less suicidal for the time being. Are you a part of any support groups for the deaf?

I can't offer much advice beyond that because I'm still constantly reeling from my new reality. It's certainly not fair. I hope you can find little bits of peace in your days no matter how fleeting.
