I’ve lived my entire life dealing with depression and if my eyesight were to miraculously return today, unless there was also a miracle relief from my depression, I would still battle this illness. My friend Ashley talks about blindness and depression to help us to understand we can live a fulfilling life with a disability while simultaneously managing depression.

Hi, I'm Steph! I'm a highly sensitive proud introvert and a recovering people-pleaser. These traits or quirks used to bother me because I always felt otherworldly until I recognized that who I am is who I am. Now I view my quirks as my superpowers and while I have good and bad days, overall my life has been an amazing journey and I still believe anything is possible. Though I'm still a work in progress, I have no regrets because all of my experiences contributed to who I am today.
It’s the sad truth
Indeed it is. Thank you for stopping by and reading.
Always such a good read Steph, thank you 🙂
I’m glad you enjoyed Lynne! 🙂
Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for reading Sarah!
It’s sad to think that some people would think that depression would hand in hand with being blind. But, those of us know otherwise. One is a precursor to the other.

So many times people forget that there is such a thing as a “double whammy.” Having one problem does not preclude us from having another. (In my case they are Multiple Sclerosis and paraplegia.) Depression is frequently a primary issue and is unrelated to something more apparent, such as the use of a white cane or a wheelchair. The possibilities are endless; therefore I shall quit typing and tap Reply. 🙂
