A woman who tore out her own eyeballs while high on crystal meth because she believed it'd 'save the world' has said she's got 'no regrets' about being fired from her job for a specific reason.
Back in 2018 when she was a student, US woman Kaylee Muthart was struggling with a drug addiction when she got the notion that 'someone had to sacrifice something important to right the world, and that person was me'.
She said that at the time she thought 'everyone would die if I didn't tear out my eyes immediately', and she was found holding her eyeballs in her hands.
Kaylee ended up permanently blinding herself, but since then has turned her life around and dropped the drug habit, while she also got herself a job washing dishes at a local restaurant to make some money while she worked on completing her education.

However, she's since been fired from her job, but she has 'no regrets' over it because of the reason why.
In an interview with the Mirror, Kaylee explained that she'd been fired from her dishwashing job in a restaurant because she was sneaking her own food out of the kitchen and feeding it to a hungry cat and her eight kittens.
The property manager told her to stop doing this and she asked if she could wean the hungry cats off the food instead of just stopping immediately, but got fired for continuing to provide the starving felines with food.
She told the Mirror: "I am feeling positive after the loss of my last job.
"Being fired never feels good, but I could walk away, knowing that I did what I believed in my heart was right.
"I could not in good conscience leave every night, knowing that there was a kitty right there waiting to be fed so I gave it my meal that I would get for my shift - and ordered it especially for the kitty."
Kaylee said that the loss of her job was 'hard on her', but she isn't 'regretting my choice' because she's sure that feeding the famished feline family was the right thing to do.
She added that her boyfriend Alex George was 'extremely hard working' and makes sure she's well looked after.
However, she's hoping to get a new job so she can pay her own way and has signed up to a recruiter that helps rehabilitate the blind.
Kaylee, now 27, has said she plans to go on to university.
