Today, I've been diagnosed with an incurable condition in both eyes that is making me go blind. I lost my job and had to drop out of my final year in college because of this. Then my ex found out and stole my car since I "won't need it". FML

Today, after passing various interviews and tests, I was given a great job pending a pre-employment medical test. Now I'm jobless and colorblind. FML

Today, I had a seizure at work and had to go to the hospital. I'd saved up a bunch of money and was on the verge of moving out at the embarrassing age of 26, but thanks to lackluster health insurance, I lost all of my money and am now in debt. I also now can't drive for six months. FML

Baby you can drive my uninsured car

Today, a week after I lost my job, my car was written off by someone rear-ending me, and both parties weren't insured. I tried to look for a new job, but all of them require that you have a vehicle. FML

Today, I broke my glasses. My eyesight is horrible, I can’t see things that aren’t super close to my face. I'm supposed to drive to another state tomorrow. FML

Square eyes

Today, my doctor told me that the reason I'm losing my eyesight is because I'm straining my eyes, and that the best thing for me to do is to limit my time in front of computers. I spent years in college to get my current job which involves sitting in front of computers. FML

Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I slightly hesitated when she asked if she was beautiful. I am blind. FML

Today, my boss "borrowed" my prescription sunglasses off my desk. She crashed her car because they made her dizzy, and thinks I should pay for the damages. FML

Today, while driving to work, an idiot pulled out of a junction without looking and wiped me out. I'm now in hospital with two broken legs, looking at employment pages because I didn't give work "enough notice" about my absence. FML

Today, my boyfriend wrecked our car. Now I can't get to work in order to make the money we need to buy a new one. FML

Today, after finally coming to terms with using insulin for my diabetes, and facing another eye surgery to correct my vision so I can do my job, I found out I have to have a melanoma removed from my foot. I'm 54. FML

Hopefully you aren’t blind enough to use a phone and call the cops.

I’m sorry to hear about your troubles OP :( I do have some advice for you though. There is an organization called the Disability Empowerment Center, and I believe their services range from state to state, but they are wonderful people who will literally come in and make accommodations for your home and pay for everything, they teach classes to help adjust to your new disabilities, they can find aids or nursing assistants until your comfortable being on your own. They specifically work with the Blind, not just physical or mental disabilities. I know so far this transition has been horrible, and the journey is going to be a long one, but there are people out there who want to help OP. I’m sorry it’s happening to you

I don't know what job you had but it is illegal to fire someone over a disability and the college you went to has to make acommendations due to the Americans with Disabilities Act

Thanks everyone for the support. I’m doing my best to get into experimental trials to see if we can save my vision. My ex was arrested but I’ll probably never see my car again): I have been deemed legally blind so I can’t drive it anyway but it still hurts. And as for my job: you can’t be a nanny and not be able to see the children. Same goes for college. I can’t be a surgical technician and not be able to see what instrument I’m picking up. Please keep the positive vibes coming; y’all don’t know how much it means to me!
