A North Carolina woman says she is happier than ever after fulfilling her lifelong wish of becoming blind.
Shuping said that her fascination with blindness began when she was about 6-years old.
“By the time I was six I remember that thinking about being blind made me feel comfortable,” she told Barcroft TV.
As a teen Shuping said she began wearing thick, black sunglasses and walking with a cane. By the age of 20, she was even fluent in braille.
“I was ‘blind-simming’, which is pretending to be blind, but the idea kept coming up in my head and by the time I was 21 it was a non-stop alarm that was going off,” Shuping told Barcroft TV.
In 2006, Shuping found a psychologist who was willing to help her become blind. The psychologist began putting numbing drops in her eyes, followed by a couple of drops of drain cleaner.
“It hurt, let me tell you. My eyes were screaming and I had some drain cleaner going down my cheek burning my skin,” she told Barcroft TV. “But all I could think was ‘I am going blind, it is going to be okay.'”
Shuping’s mother and sister are no longer speaking to her.
She told Barcroft TV that she has no regrets and hopes to help other blind people live an independent life.
“I really feel this is the way I was supposed to be born, that I should have been blind from birth,” Shuping said. “When there’s nobody around you who feels the same way, you start to think that you’re crazy. But I don’t think I’m crazy, I just have a disorder.”

This crap is always oriented towards death and demoralization.
If someone wanted extra powers (guns) or senses paid by government, it would be rejected.
No more long walks to the market or mall.
Attention seeker.
To date, no treatment has been found for BIID. Therefore patients often proceed to self-amputation, which could lead to serious and even dangerous complications. These case histories suggest that elective amputation may be a treatment for BIID. Many doctors, however, will question the admissibility of amputation of a healthy limb.

Perhaps she is not insane she just takes liberalism literally?
Yes, yes, and yes.
This has to be bull crap. No State is going to allow a licensed medical profession blind a human being without being charged with a crime.......
Society seems to idolize and prefer the insane.
Removing all mirrors from her house might’ve cured her from wanting to be blind.
The psychologist and medical doctor who were there when this happened need to have their licenses revoked and charged as criminal accessories. Now someone gets to pay for this lunatic being blind the rest of her life, namely the US taxpayer.
