I used to feel suicidal about my floaters. But, upon receiving medical help to deal with my depression, I find that I can really cope well. Yes, it sucks that the floaters are there, but I know that there is a solution and that I'll be giving it a try soon.



Besides, I've discovered so much more about the world to love and enjoy that "transcends" the floater experience. Life is good now, and I don't think anyone should even consider suicide over something that can be helped.



Sadysta, please don't do anything stupid. I know you say you're "joking," but there is such a thing as being serious in jest. Trust me, life is definitely worth living, with or without floaters. I've been in the dark pits of despair. I know what it's like, and I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I still have terrible floaters that siginificantly intefere with my quality of vision, but I definitely do not get down about it. My quality of life is not terrible; I won't let that happen anymore.



I hope you can reach a positive space in your thinking like I have and truly begin to enjoy life once again. I know that I'll be ecstatic getting my floaters removed, but vitrectomy shouldn't be the one act in your life that must happen before your life can go on.



We're all rooting for you. Stay grounded and remember that we all know how you feel and what you're going through. Above all, just remember that there is a solution, and you're almost there. Hang in there!
