She feels she’ll never be:

beautiful

because of the way that her eyes look.

This isn’t true.

Everyone is beautiful in their own way.

She is living with three forms of mental illness - depression, bipolar disorder and acute anxiety disorder.

In season 6, she was always crying.

People were cutting her down for being weak but they had no idea what she was dealing with.

The shade, which even came from loved ones, made everything worse.

People who live with disabilities are prone to depression.

It’s very common and nothing to be ashamed of.

It’s wonderful that Amy reached out for the help she needed.

The prospect of going blind is going to dramatically alter the way that a person thinks and feels.

It’s a lot to live with.

They may have driven her to overeat and all the rest.
