Hey,First, I would like to welcome you to TH! It really is a great place to get help. I know what you are going through, I'm also visually impaired, I'm completely blind and I have the same struggle. I hate hearing that friends are getting there driver's licenses, but i know that I can't let that, my inability to drive, stop me from persuing other ways of getting places, such as buses or taxis. I know it's scary having to try and do things a lot harder than people normally do them, but it's something that'll make you stronger and a better person I think. I know that not being able to drive is hard to cope with, I really wish I could drive, but I know you can get through it and if you ever struggle, lean on your family and friends because they will be glad to help you. I sometimes look at my disability as a good thing, I remind myself again and again when I'm feeling annoyed by it or upset because I can't do something, I was made with this disablity for a reason and it makes me stronger because I am faced with a challenge that most people around me don't even know or imagine, I am always challenged and i remind myself that each challenge makes me who God wants me to be and leads me to becoming a better person. I think disabilities strengthen people if they have enough confidence in themselves. If you ever need anything, you can PM me, or if you just want to chat, you can PM me. Good luck with this.
