Okay! So! I went to the eye doctor today to see why I have no depth perception.
There were lots of tests and eye drops and I had to do my party trick with the one eye moves when the other doesn't. And then the doctor comes in and has the sad task of informing me that there isn't anything I can do because my brain isn't wired right. He said I should be able to drive because I do have some depth perception going on, my brain just doesn't know what to do with it (wtf), so all I have to do is practice, a lot, and I'll be able to compensate some day.
It's kind of a relief to know my eyes are physically healthy (besides being like blind, they're just fine), but then again, I'm scared. I know someday I'll have my own children, and I don't trust myself to drive them around. I certainly can't drive alone. And it's not just driving, I can't play catch or play frisbee or anything and I just... gah. I feel like crying. Yet another part of life I fail at miserably.
If you'll excuse me, my pupils are dilated and I'm gonna go sleep that off.
