Dream of Being Blind!
A woman who dreamed of being blind has used drain cleaner in her eyes to fulfil her wishes.
Jewel Shuping, 30, from North Carolina has Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID), a condition in which able-bodied people believe they are meant to be disabled. She said that her fascination started already in the childhood and sometimes she stared at the sun, because she knew that it would damage her eyes.

Determined to turn her dream into a reality, Ms Shuping found a psychologist willing to help her become blind and took the necessary steps. They first put in numbing eyedrops - which Ms Shuping picked up during a special visit to Canada - followed by a couple of drops of drain cleaner in each eye. She recovered in a hospital and her sight was good, also 6 months later she was blind.
This is a serious mental illness. View the full interview video here.
