About Me
I am a 5th year medical student in university. One year left to graduate! I have been on fluoxetine (prozac) and citalopram for the past few years. I have a visual impairment called myopic macular degeneration which affects mainly my central vision. My breakup last year made things even worse, especially when you bottle things up to yourself. I'm steadily moving on, building a new life.

Close Blindness & Visual Impairment
Type: Partially SightedI am a 5th year medical student with a condition called myopic macular degeneration, causing loss of central vision in both eyes. It presents similarly to age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) in the elderly; however in my case it is caused by my severe shortsightedness rather than ageing. On the Snellen chart, my left eye is 6/24 while my right is 6/18. It started when I was 17, prior to entering medical school. Life was tough ever since, especially when you can't read or recognise faces
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI've always thought of suicide as a way of ending my suffering. I tried taking my life swallowing about 40 sleeping pills. But here I am, even stronger as a person
Treatments
- Lexapro Working / Worked
Open Breakups & Divorce
I have broken up with my girlfriend of 7 years. Although I do love her, its difficult enough to know that she has been unloyal and nfaithful to me. Why is it so difficult to get over this? The emptiness n hollowness always sink deep when I think about it. She has just gotten married last week in July
