Hey all. Hope everyone's hanging in there. Thought I'd pop in and say I'm having more anxiety with my T, which happens every few months but eventually settles. Thinking about you all.

Yesterday was 2 years with T. It's been making me anxious again lately. IDK if it's actually any worse or if I'm just more aware of it. But for the most part I handled my T much better this year than the last. Hoping each year is easier. Hang in there guys <3
Hey Penny my friend. I hope you're doing better @PennyCat
2/2 I've never had spikes, mine have always been permanent increases. How do you know if it's a spike? How long do yours last?
1/2 I think I'm having a tinnitus spike? A tone I haven't heard for a long time is back and pretty obnoxious. Sounds like a tornado siren.
Hi! I just wanted to say hello and tell you that I'm happy you're feeling better
My TTTS settled for a bit but it's been back again for my birthday which sucks. Hopefully it dies back down
Officially 24. Second birthday with tinnitus. I hope this year is better for me mentally and physically.
Hey! I remember reading a lot of your posts last year and you were in a really bad way. I'm happy to see that you are doing a little better. I feel like you last year, like someone has a voodoo doll of me and won't stop until I give up. I'm so scared of how bad things are and my anxiety. How did you manage to pull yourself through the very worst days?
I turn 24 in a little over 2 weeks… oh boy
I literally have evidence of TTTS going away because it's gone away many times for me. But my OCD is like "nope, it'll never go away again"
Just used my gua sha on my cheek/jaw muscles for a solid 20 minutes. Didn't realize how tense my jaw is. So many tender spots. Def recommend
Day 4 or 5 of TTTS flare up. If I remember correctly, past flare ups were ~ 1 week. Hope it settles soon. My anxiety is def making it worse
Trying not to worry about my TTTS reappearing is harder than I thought. I just want to be okay, I don't wanna go through this again
My TTTS has made a reappearance. It's hardly happened at all this year. Trying not to stress… it's settled before, it can/will again
Also update re: my pulsatile T surgery a few months back. Throat complications have gone. Follow up with laryngology to reassess in 2 weeks
Thinking of you all. It's 4am & my tinnitus is screaming a bit louder than usual. But I know it will settle soon & am not panicked. Progress
However if it were to worsen again I would be back at square 1. But for now I am adapting and habituating somewhat.
I'd say I currently go maybe 90% of my day without thinking about my T. It's still there, multi-tonal and unchanging, but I am… adapting?
If I think/focus too much on the orchestra of sounds in my ears, I get anxious. But I am doing better with it this year than the last.
Saw a specialist and due to my surgery I have an almost fully paralyzed right vocal cord and partial paresis on part of my palate.
My surgery for my PT was May 1st. I've since had a complication and it's not looking good. Too long to post update as a status lol
10 days until my surgery. Trying not to be pessimistic about it, but also don't want to get my hopes up either. Hard to balance it!!
Any good vibes would be appreciated. My PT bothers me more than my T. It would be a relief to finally get this cured after 2 surgeries
Not super hopeful it'll work as prior testing indicated it might not, but it's my last option. After this, if it doesn't work, that's it :,(
Having another surgery for my PT on April 30th. Stent & coils being placed in my jugular bulb diverticulum. Another overnight ICU stay too
My boyfriend… or I guess ex-boyfriend helped me through some of the hardest times with my tinnitus. Now he's gone. I miss him so much
Another night up past 5am crying, throwing up from crying so hard, and listening to my ears scream all at the same time. Yayyy breakups!
Going through a breakup while having tinnitus and BPD… I'm not sure if there is a worse combo. 5:30am and still no sleep. Wish me luck :,)
Maybe it's not "worse", but some tones that seemed to have lessened or gone away are back. Kinda stressing about it. -
