No worries! 
Maybe just get some more shut-eye.
I read of another girl who was determined to eat herself to 300lbs, as part of a fetish community called Feeders or something. Apparently for many people it was considered very bad and unsupportive to suggest that she was mentally ill and should be consigend to a mental hospital.
“This will be great. I’ll finally get to experience what blindness is like and then I can move on with my life after these drops wear off.”
“Wait…you only wanted to be blind temporarily?”
You wouldn’t want to use toothache gel in your eyes, no matter how diluted. It could cause permanent damage.
Lots of medical professionals don’t have prescription pads. Go tell a nurse that she’s not a real medical professional. Wear a cup.
As for the OP - this makes no sense. If the patient wanted sex reassignment surgery, would the psychologist pull out an ice pack and a pair of scissors? Even if we grant the patient and the psychologist their decision to medically blind the woman - why would they choose the dumbest, and most painful, method possible?
It sounds like an urban legend. Oh hey - Snopes has an article about it:
They say it’s basically uncorroborated and the story itself is pretty dubious. They point out that the woman in question has been on Twitter since 2011, posting about being blind, but that this story about her blinding herself with drain cleaner only started making the rounds a few days ago.
The doctor is not named. Supposedly, the woman had only seen the doctor for two weeks.
Really, I think barring new evidence, we have to stamp this “implausible”.
Sorry. What I meant to say is that a psychologist isn’t a medical doctor (unlike a psychiatrist).
OK, this one didn’t go over my head.
Words to live by.
You know how it is. It’s all fun and games **until **someone loses an eye.
Dewey Finn was, I expect, alluding to the difference between a psychologist (i.e. anybody who claims they totally, like, understand how brains work and can help) and a psychiatrist (i.e. an *actual *medical professional, with a scientific background, a requisite degree and everything).
No, no, no.
It’s a tragedy when I get some dust in my eye but when you get drain cleaner in your eye, it’s hilarious.
I might have found you a date.
More seriously, medical amputations for psychological or neurologic reasons do occasionally happen when it gets to the point that the patient would otherwise self-operate or commit suicide. The issue came up when I took a Canadian medical law course back in the 80s, and has surfaced occasionally since then, e.g. Dr. Smith.
As far as the OP woman’s story goes, it sounds like she had a sympathetic friend or some sort of a nut assist her, as opposed to a proper surgeon doing a proper job of it after a very thorough consideration of all the relevant factors by not only the surgeon but also his or her peers/ethics committee.
Get a source of income where you are essentially self employed, just giving up on all hope of ever working where superior’s and coworker’s distaste of me would prevent me from remaining employed or having any chance of advancement was the best thing I ever did.
I’m happier and don’t have to deal with bullshit like office politics or being always stressed about being let go because despite the fact I’m working harder then anyone and more productive and even coming up with money and time saving innovations no one likes me.
Ironically I love dealing with customers through email, and they for the most part are more than satisfied with me.
And his point is that a psychologist is someone with a degree (usually doctorate) in psychology. You’re describing therapists or counselors. or, in my experience, case workers. (I had one that was actually a Jungian!)
What’s worse, psychiatry often just means having a medical degree, without nearly the training in psychology that they should have. Which means a complete lack of understanding of very potent MEDICAL TREATMENTS that don’t involve prescribing medicine.
The person in the OP was not almost certainly not a real psychologist. And, if they were, they would be losing their license to practice–had they not already done so.
(There is a type of psychologist who only works in the experimental side, being more of a scientist–so maybe that’s what she meant. I’d expect them to lose funding, however.)
Frankly, medical professionals should have tried humanely curing or treating this woman. However, if no effective cure or treatment for this woman exists, then frankly, I myself don’t necessarily have a problem with her voluntarily getting blinded. After all, it might unfortunately be the lesser of the two evils. 
All she needs is opaque contact lenses. Instant blind.
Let me end this specific debate once and for all, though–No, transgender people are certainly not mentally ill. Rather, transgender people simply experience a mismatch between their brains and their bodies. Indeed, at least some people who suffer from body integrity identify disorder might likewise have some mismatch (albeit of a different kind) between their brains and their bodies.
In 2013, Barcroft TV released a story about this woman with BIID.
According to some sources, “this woman” is a man. (See eighth paragraph down).
