I know she's blind, but she just sits there like she's dead. There is no emotion.
😂😂
Right? Very eerie...
Chelsee Rose Of course she has no fucking emotions because shes keeping them inside they were fucking talking about her like shes not even there completely shitting on her choice of life on live tv what the fuck do you expect??
she's listening and taking in her surroundings
She strikes me as autistic, and I wonder if this was her way of dealing with a severe sensory disorder. If visual input was absolutely overwhelming to her brain it would make sense that ridding herself of that would feel calming to her. Not to mention also having the inadequacy of brain mapping that typically goes along with BIID.
The woman with the blonde hair was so brutal honest and I respect her for it
You can tell she wanted to scream; "You threw away your life, wtf is wrong with you!?"
I genuinely despise this ‘blind woman’. She did this to he part of a ‘special community’
She is sick. But the sickness is called narcissim.
I could never even sit next to this ‘person’
WE PAY FOR HER LIFELONG DISABILITY!!! SHE DOESNT WORK AT ALL!! She spends her days ‘doing advocacy’ for blind people….ie…BEING SPECIAL.
@@johnnylego807 I hope you're still wearing your mask out, best to let people know you're still living in fear before anybody even gets close to you👍👌
She - like all MD's are all as bad as each other --- MD woman is in the Trans bandwagon
Nah, I mean, she has just as much claim as the Queen did to the throne of England. "Rulers chosen by god" what nonsense.
i just cant understand HOW this is not seen as a mental illness
Body Integrity Identity Disorder 100% has to be recognised as a mental illness, because medically speaking me cutting my hand off in a bandsaw is clearly the result of mental illness, but doctors told me because its BIID its not an illness
It very clearly IS by honest people.
She shouldn’t be allowed to apply for disability if she intentionally did this. I’m dead serious.
That’s the blinding truth!
Agree
agreed
Agreed
Exactly, thank God that she went on the Dr. Phil show, they can you use that as evidence to deny her disability
I'm disturbed in every way possible
Chloe hey qt
This woman has illness. Watch your mouth.
That’s because you’re transphobic... -According to the left-
@@djgraffiti5627 has nothing to do with anything at all. Fucking hell.
@@Humanh8red 2 years ago? Lol well lady yes it does. She’s trans she transitioned from seeing to blind. That’s trans definition, one who transitions, doesn’t just mean gender.
If she parks in a disabled spot I'm still towing her car
+Sam Erdly Because she is obviously going to be driving lmao
+Jade Jade hahahha
+Jade Jade Lmaooo !!!!!!!
+Jade Jade oh yea... Im dumb...
Comment of the year.
As a blind person myself due to a cataract and having very little sight before that. I feel somewhat offended that she made herself blind when she should be grateful she can see when some can’t
How about when men turn themselves into women?
well maybe you should have gotten an eye transplant surgery while she should just give up her eyes to you
what if we go back in time
we remove her healthy eyes and give them to you maybe like that you are both happy
What do you people not get about the fact that she has a neurological disorder?
She probably has a mental illness or schizophrenia
@@davidcox8582so if she do have a neurological disorder, we should do what she ever want or what do u mean ?
I completely lost my vision for a short while and fortunately got my eyesight back. I am completely speechless and stunned by this.
Could I ask how you temporarily lost your vision ? I’m extremely glad to hear you’ve gotten your vision back .
@@ams-cu7yu I was overheated in a classroom
i dont identify with the acne on my face so im gunna burn all my skin off
Troy Bailey lol
Troy Bailey you hit the point
omg just a made my day lol
cattleya z thats like saying she didn't like the color of her eyes and thats why she decided to go blind. you have a very shitty sense of analogies lol
egg plant the doctors said that its just like transgender people they don't identify with their body parts an she didn't identify with her eye sight so she took it away so what he said is not only funny but very much related
my mom is legally blind and not by choice, I dont know how I feel about this woman's choices. however I do strongly feel that she should not be entitled to disability or any of the subsidized programs out there for the blind. exp. pay for your own seeing eye dog
I hadn't even thought of that...yes, I hope she doesn't. She clearly is happy with her decision, so to use any funding that goes to those with disabilities (those blind in this case) would be sick and wrong.
Layne Spicer I completely agree with this!!!
This woman was supposedly legally blind before blinding herself.
RedElm747 yea before blinding herself, without her glasses on she was legally blind
What's legally blind
I'm legally blind with corrective lenses or contacts. I desperately want to keep my vision. I knew an elderly woman who was told she might lose her remaining vision and when we talked about her learning to use the white cane, she started crying because the idea of total blindness was so frightening.
God bless you ❤ You are stronger than you think ❤
She’s just sitting there omg. MOVE LADY SHOW SOME EMOTION
If she looked happy you might not give her the sympathy and attention she so desperately is trying to get
Bingo
I have no problem with Jewel trying to be blind. but i think she shouldve donated her healthy eyes instead of ruining them.
+ashley rivera
I find the whole idea of using drain cleaner to remove her eyesight, totally stupid and dangerous
there must be at least a hundred better ways to remove someones eyesight
+ashley rivera I just commented this above, but there is no way she would have been able to find a surgeon who would remove her healthy eyes to donate them. No medical doctor (who take an oath to do no harm) would just remove her eyes unless they were cancerous or something.
+lexi219 she could sell them on the black market
Madison Gasser
But for them to be viable for someone else to use, they would have to be harvested by an ophthalmologist who knows how to do transplants. The chances of finding a backwater doctor to perform an illegal kidney transplant is one thing since there is such a large market for it, but the chances of finding one to perform an eye transplant who is also capable of keeping the eyes viable is slim to none.
ashley rivera agree!!!
Just want to say something stupid. She could've just closed her eyes... uh duh
+Zachey Poo The Rebel yeah
Oh yeah, she could've just had her eyes shut all the time and when she wanted to see again, she could just open her eyes lol
Or put on eye patches... Not this shit
Alexander Szabo she did, she used to put a sleeping mask and the glasses and go out to the streets and wander pretending to be blind. She said the longest times she's done it consecutively was 2 weeks. Apparently that wasn't good enough lol
Suga Cane yeah, she could of just done that.
This is just crazy. I cannot believe that there are people that would defend this behavior. She's crazy, and so are the people that defend this. And if you do something like this to yourself, you shouldn't be eligible for SSI/disability...😠
I almost lost my vision as a child and to this day have nightmares about going blind. I don't get this
The queen of england analogy was terrible
word wtf lmao
+kawaiisrs07 lol. probably couldn't think of anything better out of anger
blonde moment..
Bart Aviguetero oh common!
Well it's similar, sort of. She's basically saying, "I wanna be something impossible for me." It would be impossible for the girl doctor to be the queen of England, just as it would be for Jewel to be blind if she could see. Difference between her and the doctor would be that she has a mental disorder and the doctor doesn't, so nothing is compelling her to be the queen of England unlike it is for Jewel to be blind. There.
"she should have donated it" lol no actual certified surgeon/psychiatrist/whatever would actually take her corneas and shit tho.
EXACTLY
Yep
honeydew also, she was legally blind before she dumped poison into her eyes.
Wtf 😂😂
Why
This makes me so upset. She had eyes she COULD see out of . And there's people out there that are born blind or lose their sight through no fault of their own and shes willing chooses to blind herself. It's wrong.
Carolyn Peercy If someone’s mentally ill, you can’t argue with logic anymore. I guess you’re also against depression, transgender (which I don’t consider mental illness, but you must think it’s wrong too), being sick? Yes, of course it’s wrong to be sad, it’s wrong to cut yourself or to think you have to lose half your weight, but do you go around and judge people for having cancer? No, I don’t think you do. So what was this comment for? Sorry for being so salty, but your comment really upset me ... people need to be more aware of mental illness, I think there is a serious lack of education 🤔
I don't know why people like you can't understand that she has a neurological disorder.
I’m transfinancial , so I need billions of dollars. I’ve always felt I should be rich....
She could have at least donated her eye tissues. She purposefully wasted something naturally blind people wait long periods of time to receive. Kind of a selfish move.
I get what you're saying but no respected doctor would have removed her healthy eye to be donated. The doctor would have been sent to jail if he/she had done that. The man that deliberately destroyed her sight was a dodgy doctor that she meet online. When she went to the hospital they both said that the procedure was an accident. If they hadn't said it was an accident the man would have been sent to jail.
+AS what about know that everyone knows the psychiatrist did it on purpose is he in jail ( I don't know why I'm asking you you prolly don't know what happened to him lol oh well)
Kyle Tidrick She said it was an accident to the doctors, so he wasn't charged.
Well that's kinda illegal to make your self blind in a humane way so how would she do that? Lol
Dr Phil interviewed her and there she explained everything in a lot of detail.
I know this woman. I myself am legally blind. Those in the blind comunity do not agree with her decision.
Victoria Bellamy how do u watch videos and comment if you're blind?
Star Girl I have some Vision in the left eye and my right eye has zero vision. I use the accessibility on my phone which reads aloud the text on the screen and it reads to me what I am typing.
Victoria Bellamy oh ok that makes sense. I'm sorry that you can't see that well but that's super cool that you can still do things you want💕
Victoria Bellamy u lying ass
fatbiker, being legally blind doesn't mean everything is pitch black. Also, blind people are way more capable of doing things than you give them credit for. It is certainly possible, and even common, for legally blind people to use the internet.
I agree with the doctor. This is just twisted. There are people who wish they had what she destroyed. I really dont care if this makes her feel like she regrets this is stupid.
This is insanity
This is bullshit. Many people in my family have eye issues or are completely blind, including myself. I'm close to being blind and within a decade I may be. The fact that she would say having sight is restraining or hindering her freedom to live is enraging. Me and everyone who has eye issues or is blind would kill to have perfect sight. I legitimately hate this woman for this. And for Dr. Phil to try and justify this and say she is perfectly sane is absolutely ridiculous. She has a mental issue that shouldn't be fixed by mutilating her body. Absolutely absurd.
Hel Heim just cause you and those you know have eye issues doesn't mean the whole world should want what you can't have.
I'm really sorry to hear about you're "eye issues". I completely understand why this video would make you mad. But with all due respect you do have to understand that just because you don't want to be blind doesn't mean everybody else also doesn't. Bare with me for a second. For example some women are born with extremely large breasts and others with the exact opposite. There are some women who cannot handle their large breasts due to the pain of them. But then you have the girls with the small breasts who will seek breast implants to get exactly what the other girls no longer want. All this to say that something that someone might hate is what someone else might long for. And hey if it makes her happy then why should we care? Anyway once again I'm sorry for your eye problems, and I hope that you understand my point, as I do understand yours
andreana .t. I understand what you're trying to say, but to compare something that has no effect on your will to survive isn't the best way to form an argument. We have 5 senses for a reason. We NEED sight. We don't need big or small breasts, although we do something there, even if it's just flat. Maybe if she didn't horribly mutilate herself, just maybe I could feel differently. But it's hard to sympathise with someone who had no appreciation for something so important that a lot of people don't have or lose without choice.
+Hel Heim you make a good point and maybe my argument wasn't the exact best, but I do think it was a good enough analogy to describe why I don't think this woman is absolutely insane. All I'm trying to say is this lady clearly does have a psychological disorder, one that people like you and me can't exactly understand because we aren't in the same position. We don't know how she feels, and we don't why blinding herself makes her happy but it does, and if it's not exactly affecting us then why care? Anyway I guess we can agree to disagree.
andreana .t. I appreciate your open mindedness and I understand your point of view. I think she definitely does have some sort of mental illness, and to suggest differently is just ignorant. I appreciate your input, and I can agree with you to an extent, but it does still annoy me.
Dr. Phil seems so understanding. That blonde woman seemed a little angry at jewel.
Melissa Slutter I agree
She was rightfully so. It’s disgusting that she would do this when some people would do anything to get their sight. And comparing herself to a transgender person is fucking disgusting
It's HER body. She should be able to do as she pleases if she's not hurting anyone, AND she owes nobody ANYTHING. She could NOT have donated her corneas, as no doctor would violate their vows and take them from a healthy person. And even if she could have, she was NOT obliged to do so, as no one is obliged to donate their money to charity. Stop judging people who have not hurt anybody.
The doctor lady probably hates gays too. Probably voted for Trump.
LOL. Canada doesn't want Trump, believe me. And if you think that's the case, you're severely mentally ill.
As a blind person this lady upsets me so much. I wish my vision would be back and i wouldnt live in crippling darkness

I see dr.phil, i click on the video
south mississippi G wtf 😒

Who hates how you cant comment on the Dr Phil show? I do!!!!
Dr. Phil's show needs to be canceled
I know. I want to be able to share what I think about these videos on his show.
@@sadem1045 No it shouldn’t.
The comments are always on.
@@stellarocquie7957 Not on the main channel
This is unbelievable !! I never heard about a case like this ... Only many many years ago I heard about someone who wanted to lose a leg - but being blind ??!! That is too cruel !!!
My whole life I felt like I should have been born without a brain, it turns out I was.
LOL!!! Join the club.
I love how Dr.Phil places himself in other shoes and has a open mind. But fr.... WHO MAKES THEMSELF BLIND?
David Hernandez ITS A MENTAL FUCKING DISORDET
She isn't the first and won't be the last.
The answer is those who suffer from an mental illness.
Someone who has a real problem.
Imagine having an itch, cramp or whatever feel which annoys you radiating in your limb, you are unable to physically or mentally ease that feel, only choice you have was to numb it in order to not feel miserably screwed in the mind. And this goes on not 1 day, 1 week or 1 month, it goes on your entire life.
Wow. She has severe metal damage
Mental*
+Jake Forster She could very well have lead poisoning!
So does people who want to cut off their dick. They are both mentally disturb. But we as a society has to pretend that this is normal.
I feel in my opinion this is due to the fact that we privilege society have too much free time. Time to think nonsense. If you look at people who are indeginous like the Mayans. Do u think they sit there and say , "I think I want to he blind". Ofc not, because they have to fucking hunt and feed there family. The same example would be said with genital mutilation. People are idiotic when they have the luxury to think too much. Some has good ideas and some are bad to say the least.
Let's not pretend and except this mental disorder as the norm.
Don't forget people who get nose jobs, plastic surgery, fat reduction, tummy tuck, boob lift etc.
There's certain sinful body mods that are accepted by society and seen as sane. People will do anything to their bodies to be happy these days. No one ever tries to work on the inside first.
*Eye don’t have any regrets making my decisions*
I “see” what you did there 😮
As someone who's severely visually impaired I really don't understand why someone would want to live like that. I still have some useful vision not a lot but some. Being made fun of for years because I have a lazy eye or having to wear thick glasses isn't something I would want anyone else to go through. I guess I just can't wrap my head around why this woman did this!
The blonde woman 😂😂 me too
she only wants drama and attention
sandra ainsworth if she only wanted drama and atention, by now she would have a depression due to what she did. she really had a mental disorder and that was the only way she could treat herself in a fast way.
This is so sad how can a person put themselves through that much pain and make a permanent decision like that lord be with her!
So many are trying to compare accidental blindness to her mental disability. How does that even make sense? She is unwell.
I hold the same perspective as the blond doctor, even though I am not a doctor. It is disheartening to see how someone so healthy and with so much life in front of her destroy such precious gift, completely free of remorse for the damage that she has inflicted upon herself. No matter what anyone says, this is not right, especially when there are soooooooooooo many people in this world who would give anything, if not all that they have, to get their site, hearing, or sense of touch back.
Well she's crazy, we do know that. But let's not make her regret it or wish she hadn't blinded herself. She can't get her sight back and wanting it back while knowing she was the one who took it in the first place would eat her alive in ways we cant even describe. I'd rather let her be a happy blind than a miserable blind.
whoa whoa whoa, why? what the fuck? thats intense. shes mentally ill, why is that worth of burning in hell?
Kali Durga But she's also disabled. The fact that you think disabilities are only physical proves how very fucking ignorant you are.
***** No, she is disabled. Disability does not equal physical only disabilities.
***** Except she's NOT invalid? Blind people have emotions and memories just like everyone else. They work, they play, they live. They do all of this without eyesight, because eyesight is not always a necessity to survive. Does it make surviving more difficult? Yes. But just because you are blind does not mean your life means any less than someone who isn't.
***** Actually, MANY do. You are clearly underage and have never had a job before.
I love how on the dr Phil show it shows her using the computer and texting on her phone while blind.
Its sad she has this idea her sight/eyes are so foreign to her that she would rather be blind than live with her eyes. No one should be mad at her for taking her sight, just sympathize with how much dysmorphia she had to go thru to put drain cleaner in her eyes
Son unos malditos degenerados.
So doctors find it okay to remove sex organs but not eyes? Makes so much sense.
I feel like all these people are just not dealing with deeper issues.
+Tenisha Stephenson thank you
+Eliza Ashley though you are correct in saying that the person who gets their sex organs removed isn't hindered, if everyone got there sex organs removed, then we would be extinct. Not saying that I disagree with people who choose to do so, but it does have a negative affect just like removing your eyes would.
Eyes, nose, tongue, ears and the four limbs are very essential for a human being to fully function. This is an insult to human beings with disability's.
Sex organs are not really a necessity . But they only remove them if they're not functioning well. She had perfectly healthy eyes.
No one removes sex organs.They change them .This woman wants to do harm to herself and shouldn't be allowed .It is the same reason why suicide is illegal, maybe a man doesn't want to live or feel strange at living(or whatever) but he can't do it because clearly he has psychological problem .It is the same with this situation
Hi, legitimately "sick" person here. I've been in and out of hospitals since the age of eight years old, had over twenty surgeries, and struggle every day to live what most would see as a "normal" life...
And I really hope that people can look at this woman with kindness and empathy. For someone to obsess about being blind for years and to willingly put drain cleaner in her eyes (without anesthesia,) this woman had to have been in a lot of pain.
I get it can be insulting to think of a woman with functioning eyes to purposefully blind herself, but acknowledging her suffering might help explain things.
Exactly like people wouldn’t say that to someone who attempted suicide
@@Formerlywendytestaburger1621 Fr but everybody’s getting so upset and flamed when people literally attempt suicide and get gender reassignment surgery
Your and her are both narcissists. THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM. Deal with it.
Being empathetic, yes, absolutely, but we should be careful as to not encourage her in it. There are people with BIID who are watching her and consider doing the same.
@@blackqweenmars you kinda veered away from the point
She has BIID and some other very severe dysmorphia, which is a common psych. ailment, yes, but always unique to the individual. I remember when my mental health was at it's worst I regularly thought I'd feel more comfortable in the world if I was deaf or blind or mute or invisible. How could you not understand that? So many people act like they're accepting of mental illnesses and problems but forget they can make you do terrible, unreasonable things to yourself and others. Her BIID made her do this.
No it’s called NARCISSISM. She wanted to be blind to be special
Nah, definitely demonically influenced.
@@mamavswildthat's not what NPD is... Wanting attention may be a part of narcissism, but this is far from it. BIID is a better explanation
Dr. Phil is again the voice of reason
At least she can't read the hard comments down bellow
lol😂
Those upset with the female Doctor, try and see it from her perspective. She's a doctor, who might have seen patients who lost their sight or losing their sight. And not just sight other physical abilities. And to see someone whose eyesight wasn't perfect but better. It must make her feel some pain. And there are some cases where people who aren't born blind actually lose their sight and it's not due to health problems, but abuse, torture, accident etc How can she not feel confronted by an action like that. I'm not commenting on the blind woman's actions but please cut the Doctor some slack.
Tari Mushati I mean it's understandable but she really needed to be more respectful. After all, the lady does have a mental illness so is it really that shocking and disgusting that she did that to herself?
As a doctor she shouldve recognised that this is a mental disorder. You cant be mad at someone who is acting like the typical way someone with that disorder would act.
Tari Mushati I'm fighting to stop myself from going blind. This is so insulting.
Diane Berg yeah and the solution for her disorder was to make her go blind. And not to treat her brain. Also shut up there are many people like me, who are going blind, who find this insulting. And I'm not being selfish, the person who has the disorder is. She could have been less selfish and donated her eyes and still achieve the same result of she wanted to. But she didn't. I would love you see you go blind and not find this insulting.
Diane Berg you don't know if my life will be miserable or not so shut up.
That’s horrible the psychiatrist should be held accountable also
Good explanation Dr. Phil
she has BIID because she has anxiety. when you can't see a crowd you don't have to worry about it, when you can't see yourself its very had to worry about your appearance or anyone else. When she started talking with a group of blind people that only made her want to do it MORE because the people she associated most with were also like that. She got rid of her sight to try and get rid of her anxiety. She probably didn't even realize that either bc she's so close to the situation, she couldn't figure out what she didn't like
Could be a factor 🤔
No, I am also get distressed within a crowd but instead of disabling my own sight, I'd rather dash through people or serpent-slide next to them.
She needs to be in an asylum.
Absolutely
You need to be in a prison.
Running for sanity why???
Fuck you, it’s not like she was hurting anyone.
ジ She was hurting herself dumbass. Shes a danger to herself. This woman is literally mentally ill and made her self blind. She needs to be put into an asylum
That’s so sad, how could anyone do that to them selfs
As someone who is legally blind, I'm outraged by her actions!
Blonde doctor, getting emotional doesn't help.
Alvar Harkonen This broad is going off at. The mouth but guaranteed she's all in for gender reassignment!
I'm with her. I totally get where she's coming from, but I'm situations like this it's best to remain professional
She was honest and I’m ok with that
i'm mad at dr.phil because he disables the comments on his videos
LøTrishh Bih just how everyone is mad at this women for disabling herself lol
I feel that he just wants to respect the people on his shows.
Disabling Comments Is A Big Sin That The FTC/COPPA Commited And I Hate The Forever For It
@@SpatialAndTemporalEvangelicals No, creators can turn off comments on their videos if they want to. Not necessarily from COPPA.
Dr. Phil will never be called an enabler. Your just going to have to get over that.
God bless u all. Follow him. I suffer from mental health. Poor woman. She needs help.
Dr. Phil in The Doctors is the best crossover ever..
I think this woman wanted attention and pity. Point blank. I'm sickened by her attitude.
Who's attitude. If we mean the blonde doctor then yes, but I see no attitude other than a meek disposition sitting next to so called professionals shaming her on national television
Lol the blonde haired lady came off strong asf.
I have lost my eyes for a few months do to my multiple sclerosis. When I got my sight back after steroid treatment I was so happy. I could not imagine anyone to want to be blind.my eye sight might not be all great but I will take it because I can see my children, nature and other things. When got my sight back I spent hours out side looking at the trees, birds my little playing outside. We take our sight for granted. I love to outside now.
A very brave lady
I believe in the existence and validity of BIID after watching a very thorough documentary on the subject. Apparently they did very advanced brain scans of the sufferers of BIID, and they showed that whatever body part felt alien to the person, would not show as "registered" very clearly in their brain scans. In other words, all their other body parts would show up as accurately recognized and "accepted" by their brains, but not the conflicting body part. For a person not suffering from BIID, it would be like having a giant horn growing out of your head that wasn't supposed to be there. Anyone would want the horn removed. That's basically how it is for a person with BIID. Their body is telling them they have a part that should not be there, so they want it removed. It was a fascinating documentary, but it was also very strange and somewhat frightening.
With that said, I don't understand why this woman couldn't have simply worn black, opaque contacts that would essentially "blind" her without actually blinding her. I'm sure such a thing exists. That way, should a successful treatment or cure come about for BIID, she could simply stop wearing the contacts. At this point, her vision is destroyed and not salvageable.
Which documentary did you watch?
If it is not registered in the brain, why is it functioning
Yes, it is possible that the brain is not working properly. That's literally the case with every other form of insanity, such as with Schizophrenia, the brain registers things that aren't actually there. When the brain isn't functioning as expected or as it should, that's what we call insanity. BIID, Gendery dysphoria, schizophrenia, are all forms of insanity.
dr phil told her off reaaal good.
“You have to rule out psychosis” lmao no Phil, no you don’t.
There's a big ethical clash in medicine regarding BIID, and that's what Dr Phil was bringing up regarding GID, both end up being brought up. What's pretty interesting about this is one's conscious sense of self-it stops right before that 4th limb, or right before the eyesight, or oppositely with phantom limb, their sense of self still encompasses that 4th limb. It truly is a big question mark that only leads to many more in the field of neuropsychology.
She could have donated her eyes... 😕
Sachin Michael She is too selfish to think of that.
Sachin Michael before she did this she was legally blind without glasses so she couldnt of donated her eyes
Sachin Michael No she couldn't, her eyes weren't that good before, and she destroyed her cornea while using the drain cleaner
eye transplants are not yet possible
chanel #2 ~ she tried to have the blinding done medically (not defending her one bit btw!!!) but all doctors deemed it unethical (obviously).
This lady pisses me off!!!! Having an autoimmune disease that has caused me to have a stroke, meningitis and so much more I would do absolutely ANYTHING to be healthy. Your body and even more so your health is a gift and she destroyed it!
Girl, why you feeling sorry for yourself. I’ve got a rare heart condition, that’s as caused numberous heart attacks, I’ve died and been brought back to life. But, so what. I don’t dwell on that and I certainly don’t compare myself to others. She clearly as a mental illness, it’s like me comparing myself to someone who committed suicide thinking I could have their healthy heart.
Get over yourself...
Leanne yeesss!!
G Justin. People like her piss me off, lol 😂
@@Leanne_w your nuts and she has good damn reason to feel sorry for herself she values her life..Maybe you dont value yours and you are not so noble just because you dont seem to detest your misfortune because most healthy people would
@Michael Joseph. you’re *
Also just because someone as an illness, that doesn’t give them a right to compare yourself with someone suffering from mental illness.
How about stop being self centred.
Feeling sorry for yourself, isn’t going to change a thing.
*_My heart breaks for this woman.. I hope she gets better or is happy.. Idk what to really say.. It’s just so sad she had to do this to herself..._*
I can’t understand why someone would do this to themselves how unwell must they be to actively blind them self for what! Couldn’t she of just used two adhesive wound eye patches. This is so insane. I seen another video where a man chopped his leg of cause he didn’t think it belonged to him and he wanted to be disabled too. What is this mental Illness that does this to people
its stupid how the female doctor looks at this situation in my opinion, this is something jewel has no control over, she can't help but feel the way she does about her body, the female doctor has no right to try and make sense of this situation, and then shame jewel for a disorder she has no control over. Though jewel should have done what dr phil had said, and used a safe method to remove her sight. but she must have felt very helpless because of her body, like one would feel helpless if there was a extra limb on their body they didn't wish to have. i can only sympathize with her
I know right, she did the same with someone with body dysmorphia disorder. This made me doubt her credibility as a doctor
I think she didn't even realize the REASON she wanted to be blind so badly. It would have been interesting to see if she progressed from this mindset if she had some therapy... I think they were pretty respectful to her for the most part, recognizing that the choice she made is irreversible.
Bruh i hope this bitch is not entiled to any disablity benfit hopeful
Omg I totally got that acronym wrong 😅 The Eye Idea 🤣
I got sick last year and lost my vision in my right eye and I wish every day for it to come back. And she goes and takes her own vision that’s so sad!!
Thank god I will never meet or ever have that female "doctor" treat me. She does not have the natural disposition of being a carer by nature.
As a psychology major, I have heard of this in one of my online courses. Not her case but j have heard of the amputee one. I don't know how anyone can do it to themselves but I've heard of it.
MHSMagicLuver ooooooooo PSYCHOLOGY MAJOR

I mean, what about people that were born blind that feel that they should have sight. How are we gonna fix that
Well, there are donors bro😂
As someone who has a disability via.. seizures, amongst other things... this makes me soooo upset...
That woman doctor doesn't seem to acknowledge, or understand, that Jewel has a mental illness. It's annoying to sit here and listen to her plough through Jewel as if she had a "choice". Yes, Jewel could've gone about it differently, but that is not the point.
Agreed, the blonde doctor should have been more considerate (as much as I understand the infuriation) if only because this woman is clearly a mental illness victim -- but can we also talk about how infuriating it is for Dr. Phil to actually equate extreme self-harm via chemically burning your eyeballs due to a mental disorder, to *professionally and safely* operated sex reassignment surgery? Because no. NO.
Almost everyone in the comments is the same.
Blooming Accents Blooming Accents they recieve little to nothing really?
I want to see what Onision would say about this
The whole times she's just sitting there like "????"
I lost the sight in my left eye due to illness, this woman is absolutely so disrespectful to people who genuinely lose their sight or are born blind due to no fault of their own! She should be ashamed of herself, if she really wanted to be blind, donate your eyes to someone born blind who would give anything to be able to see. 🤬
Oh well adjusted right. How crazy does someone have to be to be called psychotic?
Aggreed
Why would she think she should be the queen of england? That argument is plain stupid
+Jim Knopf Are you daft? She's using an analogy.
maggie bridget yeah, maybe she'd like to be the queen of england, but to feel you SHOULD be the queen of england shows she didn't understand what the blind woman said
+maggie bridget Avery clumsy comparison for a supposedly intelligent professional.
+Jim Knopf need and want are only different levels of obsession. she just really needed to turn outward and help other people with problems instead of being so obsessed with her own lack of problems she had to do this to herself

My OCD makes me thing about throwing my phone from the balcony, welp, I SHALL do it!
If she was rich and could support herself with this permanent disability, more power to her. Someone who purposely disable themselves should not receive handouts.
She may have this BIID. She may also have low self-esteem issues and/or be crying for attention. I have social anxiety disorder. It has occurred to me my social anxiety wouldn't be as bad if I were blind. I wouldn't see the people's reaction in real time while a conversation is taking place or when I public speak. I have never thought about blinding myself, though. But I might be able to relate to this woman in that sense. To an extent, if I can't see it, it's not there. Low self-esteem is a common denominator with social anxiety disorder. Not saying she has low self-esteem, but there is a possibility she does, and that is what is really going on with her.
Here I am finding this in my suggestions the very same day I’m having an eye surgery TO SAVE ME from going blind. Hell, I don’t care she wanted to be blind, that’s her issue but in the other Dr Phil video she said “being blind isn’t a disability, bla-bla-bla it’s empowering bla-bla-bla”. No it’s not. I want to watch my 3 years old son grow up, i want to live the “easy way”. That’s a whole new level of “I identify as a [insert option]” .. damn I identify as a very healthy super cool looking FBI agent YET HERE I AM NOT BEING IT.
What she needs is deliverance.
I wonder what the blond lady would say in today’s world
Damn I really hate that blonde doctor.. How can she compare wanting to be the queen of England, with having a mental disorder that gives you the NEED to not have specific things on you? (I read about a woman who had the same illness, and wanted to be crippled, not being able to walk)
If this woman want to be blind, let her. She didn't traumatize herself, she says she's happy, who the fuck are you, blondie, to tell her otherwise?
Yeah, some people wish they could see, but you know, it goes both ways. She wishes she didn't see, while someone wish they could.
We ALL want things that we sometimes can't have. Luckily, this woman COULD become blind, which was what made HER happy. Call it weird or whatever, but it's her own damn body, her own damn choice, and I see NOTHING wrong with it, since she's not harming anyone else.
Camila Lagos I now she gets to live off the government and get free money because she wanted attention and to be treated differently. I hope they don't give her anything they give to people that actually has no choice of being blind.
Camila Lagos I agree!
You took the words right out of my mouth
Its illness or laziness...to do something with your life?....something productive...cooking or rescuing animals, or go for a walk.....laziness and boredom are very close to depression....so these ladies are probably all of it..lazy, bored, and depressed....Its very comfortable to be bored and lazy and stay in this state of mind.
Dear everyone who doesn't understand why this is so offensive:
*DISABILITIES 👏 ARE 👏 NOT 👏 AN 👏 ALTERNATIVE 👏 LIFESTYLE 👏*
This disturbs me so much. I’m legally blind (blind completely in one eye, limited vision in the other) and I spent so much of my childhood wishing I had good vision. And here is this woman, who threw away two perfectly good eyes. Awful.
I'm very sorry about your vision. What this woman did was horrible but she is obviously very messed up in the head.
The psychologist helps by burning out the eyes...well my diagnosis is the psychologist needs his head removed.
if she's happy now, that's okay.
K
I’ve never thought someone could make me cringe so much it made me physically sick. I agree with the blonde. This is fucking disgusting. I do give dr Phil props for being empathetic in this. As someone with a back condition and lupus, I’d give up my left tit to be pain free.
I don’t know why would anyone would want to be blind or amputate their leg or arm. I never understood that, but Dr. Phil made a good point on the counseling part and prepping their body for that. I still don’t think that is a normal behavior but to each his own.
Dr. Phil is the smartest. I love the guy
I want to understand her, knowing what she has been through, but it seems that seeing people dying for vision makes this completely absurd. She had a privilege of being able to see the beauty of the world, her family, and her friends, but instead she decided that she wanted to become blind instead. And according to other documentaries about her, her parents were fine with it. I don't want to shame her for who she is, I just wish she thought about the privilege she had, and how she shouldn't have wasted it.
StrawberryHero Actually the parents disowned her after that.
I follow this by being White yaaay
You wouldn't say that to someone who attempted suicide would you why is she any different
Why didn't she just wear a bandana or something else on her eyes, I am so sorry but there aren't no way a person dislike seeing the wonders of nature and the faces of their love ones. The only good reason to lose you sight would be if you are the kid from the movie who can see dead people.
Depirate Coeur that disorder can be a bitch... she did use a thing to prevent her from seeing, but aparently it wasnt enough
