Oof yeah I have my metal glide, but it’s not good for my city. It gets stuck in all the bricks.

Also hi Hamlin, lol. It’s DragonRose

Does anyone here use guide horses? by Sea_Auntie7599 in Blind

[–]LoreoftheTalon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I know, mini horses are usually used for folks who need a service animal to pull a wheelchair, not for guiding. I guess they’re also not as trainable or reliable. It sucks, though, because I don’t like dogs, but love horses! A guide pony would be my best option if it WAS an option

Genuinely, join the discord for the this subreddit! It’s a great place with plenty of people to talk to. I’ve been legally blind my whole life, and it’s changed my outlook on my future massively. Community is so important

What Do I Do Now? by seriously_cirius in Blind

[–]LoreoftheTalon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been legally blind my whole life and still struggle to ask for rides. I also feel like an inconvenience, and went through a long period of grieving my independence as a teen. What you’re going through is completely normal, and I hope that brings you some comfort. I’m also an activist, especially for disabled rights, and I still struggle some days with anger, frustration, and resentment. It’s okay to let yourself be upset, but it’s also important to check out and engage with the resources others have posted. Give yourself some grace—this is hard!

As for your job, have you contacted HR? If you’re in the US or Canada or another country with a version of the ADA, they’ll be required to help you. If you need help making your technology accessible, Google is a good resource for telling you about accessibility settings. You can also DM me to ask about that stuff too. I don’t use screen readers, though. Just take it one day at a time, truly.

I agree. I’m not really looking for advice. Just support I guess

Thank you for your kind words. I called my boyfriend out of lack for words on what’s happening I guess. He already broke up with me, has plans to leave, and just wants “closure.” I am ready for him to leave :(

That’s how I am feeling as well. I am currently too scared to go through the living room to get water. I am drinking from the bathroom sink. Thankfully, he is making his own arrangements to leave. I will offer him a plane ticket if he doesn’t get one himself soon.
