Woman happier than ever after fulfilling lifelong dream of being blind
Jewel Shuping says she is happier than ever after becoming blind. The North Carolina woman told Barcroft TV that becoming blind has always been a lifelong wish of hers and she is happy she has now fulfilled it.
According to Barcroft TV, the 30-year-old suffers from Body Integrity Identity Disorder. BIID is a condition where able-bodied sufferers believe they are meant to be disabled.
At 26, Shuping found a psychologist who was willing to help her fulfill her dream. She claimed the doctor put numbing drops in her eyes followed by 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...But all I could think was 'I am going blind, it is going to be okay.' "
