Hi there, we're so sorry to hear you're feeling like this - we know that being diagnosed with sight loss/being blind or partially sighted can be very difficult at times and it can be helpful to have someone to talk to. We have a counselling service, who offer counselling by phone, email, instant messaging and video chat: rnib.in/Counselling. We also have a self-referral form to fill in if you'd like online sessions: rnib.in/CounsellingReferral. We know that some of the information we ask for on the form might be difficult to tell us but please do fill in as much as you can. If you'd like to discuss any of this further, you can get in touch through our Helpline on 0303 123 9999 (hold the line to speak to one of our sight loss advisors) or email helpline@rnib.org.uk. There are also our Facebook groups, which are for our community of blind and partially sighted people, their friends, families and anyone connected with them. Many blind and partially sighted people find them a really helpful place to offload, share issues and stories - or just have a chat! rnib.in/FBGroupsRNIB.
