I hate that I have to wear glasses
I have Myopia and am 27 ( -3.75 & -3.50), had it since age 12. No one in my family has this condition, not even my extended family.
I feel guilty that I caused this on myself. I asked for a Gameboy for Christmas when I was 10 and a Nintendo DS afterwards. Two years later, I get Myopia. I feel guilty, that my child self would have caused this on myself. If only I got out and played outside more.
Now I can't join the Police or Military. Fitness is a barrier. You try Skiing and Rock Climbing wearing glasses. No one in any sports group I'm in doesn't need to wear glasses.
Everyone I see around me doesn't need to wear glasses. I feel as though I'm singled out.
I've considered Lasik, but it's too risky for me.
I feel like there's nothing positive left for me. I've honestly felt like ending my life. Especially given that all this was caused by a choice made by 10 year old me. I'm responsible for ruining my own life.
