[@Reversesymmetry]

Oh you’re 100% correct on the whole “blue eyes are cleaner than brown eyes” thing being massively troubling for a multitude of reasons, and surprisingly only the least concerning is her complete misunderstanding of how phenotypes work

[@iclynnx]

The funny thing is, I have blue eyes and my vision is so blurry I can barely see my mom's face only 3 meters away. Even if my eyesight got worse after wearing glasses, I still couldn't see before.

[@1112-m6p]

Technically she's right that theres a blue eye under every brown eye. You would have to use a laser to remove the pigmentation to see the blue though. Also blue eyed people are more sensitive to light and see worse in the sun because less pigment makes their iris more translucent so it let's in more light.

Got my own glasses now and it’s so much better. Colours are brighter, writing looks sharper/clearer, I even don’t get tired as easy (prob cause I’m squinting less).

I have been wearing glasses for over 30 years now, and as a kid I went straight into the "I don't care as long as I can still see through them" stage, but I get where you're coming from! It also took me a long time to realize some activities warrant a dedicated pair of glasses. Like jiujitsu, which obviously messed up a pair of glasses due to all the being thrown to the ground and such. Or swimming in chlorinated water. Since I figured that out, I finally put my old glasses to use: I have one pair in my night stand as a spare, one spare pair in my car, one in my holiday survival pack, and a dedicated pair for swimming. Mind you, I have -7, so without my glasses, I can't really function. I'd even have to get very close to someone to recognize them, and my voice recognition skills are subpar just to make life without glasses more interesting 😛 I regularly laugh at myself for having all this in place and for being nearly blind without aids. Once we stop laughing at ourselves, we're probably going down the path to bitterness really fast, so good for you to apparently see some humor in that development!

Actually medical issues often do have a spiritual component, but in traditional Chinese medicine, the spirit is just the body and how it reacts to its environment. For example, cultures where scarcity is more prevalent, often people there have trouble losing weight in certain parts of their body. Because their bodies hold onto not only the weight, but the generational trauma that they don’t have enough so they need to conserve. It’s not because they’re spiritually weak. It’s just that their spirit suffered something and their body helps them cope.

I remember listening to a Ted Talk of a woman born severely cross eyed. She had multiple surgeries to fix the condition, but at the end of the day all it did was cosmetically change her look. She had trouble in school from her inability to focus both eyes on a target, headaches from the strain, and she had never seen in 3D once in her life. The doctors said she never would. Against all odds, she became an optometrist, and as medical understanding grew, so too did her hopes. New exercises and treatments had proven reasonably effective at coordinating both eyes to focus at one point, and against all odds, in her late 40's after months of training with these techniques, she noticed that the faucet in her bathroom was floating. She went outside and could see how tree branches encompassed a space, in which other tree branches could occupy. She had spatial awareness and depth perception, for the first time in her life, she saw the world in 3D. She recounted crying in her car, overwhelmed by the before unseen world brought by that function of her vision.

So it’s like an extra slap in the face to people who do have psychosomatic illnesses to go “it’s all in your head but meditate and dab some essential oils and you’ll be fine 😊”

[@Hinata8778]

I'm so sorry to hear that, and unfortunately you're not alone. I'm bipolar and have adhd, and for years I believed that I was possessed by a demon because my hyper religious family refused to accept mental disabilities, and thus told me that I just had to pray more. My mom still tells me that she wishes that I would just stop taking my medications, and I'm like. Yes. Yes mother, so do I. Do you think I like this? But I need them, or else I'll do something I'd regret. (I still do, but not nearly as severe as it could be). Nowadays I usually go "I need these to not go insane, and if you'd take them you would go insane. But if they don't do anything, you can take them and see how it goes." It's taken nearly 26 years to be able to get to that point, but now I'm just so tired of it. Worst is that my mom got the brunt of my unmedicated mind, and she still stands by it being a lack of faith. Sorry for the rant, but I just feel with you and it's so so frustrating that I couldn't stop myself.

[@ivanshalimov2438]

Thank you for bringing up the topic of psychosomatic illnesses!! I was so disappointed that this lady misrepresents some facts and they get totally discredited immediately. Of course, you cannot cure cancer by meditation. But yes, you can deal with physical symptoms with the help of psychotherapy IF the problem is psychogenic, and this is done only after the actual medical tests if they prove there's no pathology on the body level. And yes, from the psychoanalytic standpoint the symptoms are of symbolic or metaphorical nature if it's conversion disorder, and it works EXACTLY in the way that this guy mocks: "I don't want to see my husband", "I can't stand seeing the injustice" and so on. This is such a fascinating topic. I wish more people knew about it, but unfortunately when people see all this presented in commercial, spiritual and occult way, they throw the baby out with the bathwater.

@@mocapcow2933 sorry that I get involved in the conversation, I just wanted to ask where are you from? I heard that in the US the evaluation is insanely expensive. And in Eastern Europe it's even worse, it's like the surest way to be institutionalised, misdiagnosed and get an absurd combination of drugs. So depending on the availability of counseling psychology, psychotherapy, maybe even group therapy in your country, maybe it would be a good place to start. They can't like give you a diagnosis or a prescription, but they can help, direct or give you skills and instruments to mitigate the problems they can't work with. Also they have to organise a transfer of a client to a psychiatrist if necessary.

Inner child work is a legitimate part of childhood trauma therapy (I'm literally doing it with a licensed therapist right now in conjunction with regular CBT). It's like. Trying to figure out things like - when you have a trauma response to something, is your response coming from a place of not having had your emotional needs met at a certain age? And then if yes, trying to figure out what you might have needed and helping your adult self do that. It can be as simple as learning to say no instead of fearing retaliation by reminding yourself that another adult isn't usually going to haul off and beat you for saying you have a scheduling conflict or something. Learning to recognize your core feelings and needs as valid. So it is VERY annoying to see people like her toss it around like some weird holistic buzzword because then whenever I talk about the legit therapy I've been doing I look frigging nuts. Anyway I've been doing that shit for years and uh, I still need contacts, so

Speaking as someone who used to wear glasses (for nearsighted+astigmatism in one eye, and slightly farsighted in the other) and then stopped wearing them over 5 years ago because the glasses were more trouble than they were worth and gave me eyestrain headaches, I can confidently say... that I did need glasses. And still do. Just not the ones I had. Turned out my slightly farsighted eye was actually slightly nearsighted. Which would explain the headaches. I got new glasses with a more accurate prescription a couple weeks ago and dude that shit is insane. I can freakin see. I have depth perception for the first time in five years. Keeping these things clean enough to see through is a pain but goddang it's worth it to have TWO WORKING EYES for the first time in half a decade. B)

I had the same exact issue when I was taking medication for ADHD. Would constantly be a zombie, not eating or drinking. Just focusing on the task at hand until my eyes were sore and my lips were chapped. It. Was. Awful. Ended up convincing my mother when I was 16 to stop giving me my medication because it was just ruining me physically and emotionally. Years later I learned that if you're given too high a dosage the medication effectively kicks into overdrive which is why I kept having such horrible symptoms. After I got a new psychiatrist, I told her of my experience and I was given the lowest dosage of medication possible and Jesus Christ I wish child/teen me knew what adult me knows now. I could not only focus properly but I could be myself, as well.

Fun fact: the eye drops the doc put in your eyes inhibits the iris constrictor muscles which in turn makes your pupils dilate.

For real, though. I think people with normal vision don't understand how vulnerable having bad vision makes you. My "good eye" is about 20/600 (meaning I can't even see the big E at the top of the chart without glasses/contacts). I had to have surgery a few years ago, and I had to go up to the surgical suite without my glasses and wait to go into the OR. I couldn't recognize anyone, in fact my surgeon walked right past me because I didn't show any signs of recognizing him. It was incredibly isolating and I felt extremely vulnerable. Glasses and contacts allow me to have a normal life. Without them, I would never be able to achieve my goals and dreams.

I would rather a disability, it's treatments, and its considerations be normalized, especially when it's a disability that is so common in the first place.
