Anger Nobody Talks About: #Blindtok E:3

In Episode 3 of #BlindTok, Murray Elbourne and Tammy Jackson take on the anger that comes with vision loss, the kind that shows up after the shock wears off and the reality sets in. They get honest about the "why me" phase, the frustration of watching your body change faster than you can process it, and how easily that anger can slide into isolation and depression if you let it sit unchecked. Tammy shares how she eventually turned her anger into fuel, refusing to let her diagnosis turn her into someone she wasn't, while Murray opens up about the rage that followed his stroke and the counselling that helped him separate his identity from his vision. But this episode doesn't just sit in the hard stuff. Together they talk about building a practical toolkit to fight back, from voice-to-text and Meta glasses to the simple but terrifying act of telling the people around you what you actually need. They also dig into why the well-meaning "it's going to be okay" from sighted loved ones can sometimes make you angrier than the diagnosis itself, and why trusting people enough to educate them broadly can take enormous pressure off those awkward one-on-one moments. If you've ever been furious at your own eyes, guilty about taking it out on the people closest to you, or stuck between wanting help and hating that you need it, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.Other ResourcesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/murrayaelbourn/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@murrayamerability?_r=1&_t=ZP-97LlF79lgCNLinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/murray-elbourn-69576543?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_appAmerability Website: https: https://www.amerability.com/Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AmerabilityAbout Amerability: Amerability was born from a simple but powerful idea: that blind and low vision individuals deserve more than support — they deserve the tools, mentorship, and real-world experiences to build lives on their own terms. Founded by CEO Murray Elbourn, a legally blind leader with more than 25 years of executive experience in disability sports and workforce development across two continents, Amerability combines lived experience with professional expertise to create programs that don't just prepare participants for the world — they prove the world is already theirs to conquer. Murray's journey from captaining Australia's national goalball team and leading Disability Sports Australia as CEO to founding Amerability in the United States gave him a firsthand understanding of what blind and low vision individuals truly need to succeed: not sympathy, but strategy, structure, and someone who has walked the path before them. That philosophy is woven into everything Amerability does, from the way programs are designed to the mentors who deliver them, ensuring that every participant is met with high expectations, practical guidance, and the unwavering belief that their goals are within reach.
