I have a eye disease called Retinitis Pigmentosa and am feeling very depressed lost not knowning what to do with my life its hard to get a job I get so down thoughts go through my mind wondering what's the point of being here I feel useless .With CNIB they do not help you find jobs Career Connection they have tried helping me find jobs but nothing works out and I'm to stupid to go back to get any education because I do not catch on to things quickly enough and get left behind and get fed up and quit With my eye condition I have tunnel vision so I tend to trip on things alot bump into things right now at this stage of the condition I don't use a cane or wear dark glasses so to people its not that obvious that I have a problem and in the workplace some employers would consider me a hazard I could hurt someone or myself . Before my sight started failing I did work in housekeeping but with that job you have to be really detailed so had to quite worked in food services in kitchen lots of things to trip and bump into not safe for me or people around . I'm not feeling sorry for myself I'm just very frustrated and do not know where to turn for help.I'd be truly thankful if anyone has ideas suggestios for me .Thanks
