I know exactly what you mean. I know there are worse conditions to have instead of blindness for instance, but the thought scares me: not only to be lost in the world, but that I wouldn't be able to read as I do now, or to watch movies/series. I basically live for stories, and though I know there's audio books (which now I hate) and braille, I think that at this stage of my life it would be hard to learn a complete different language (which it basically is).

But yeah, brain damage, definitely worse. Lets hope we never have to experience it.
