Hey all, I have had tinnitus since October due to what I think is fluid that is still in my ear from a TERRIBLE cold. I was a complete wreck in the beginning of this all. I was suffering immensely. But now, sometimes the tinnitus is completely gone. From October through early December, I...

Thank you so much for your response. Yes learning to live with it is possible and feels almost as good as not having it! I still get anxious from time to time but I get through it, and come out positive always on the end

Thank you! and thank you for the advice... I've already had to ask for ear plugs at a wedding lol. Ears first is my motto now.

That is a beautiful quote. You are new to T but you will be alright, I promise :) Positivity will come naturally eventually, don't worry. Even when you are anxious, positivity still can occur even during the anxious feelings. I still get anxious from time to time, but I fight through. I keep...

Thank you so much for your response; it always makes me feel better seeing posts like this. You are right, T is ours. We are not T's

I feel you. The worst thing you can do is worry about things that did not happen. I did that a lot before tinnitus. But stopping that self-destructive behavior has been the best thing for me

Hey all, I haven't been here in awhile but so far I am still overall okay with tinnitus. I have had some freak outs and nervous feelings, but I can go to sleep no problem and don't even hear the tinnitus half the time. I found out that my grandfather has tinnitus as well. Which honestly made me...

This morning I woke up and I felt back to "normal". Tinnitus really diminished. I felt like my old self again. I have had this recent development of tinnitus for about a month. This morning felt back before this new onset (I had a slight ringing before this last month but it did not bother me...

I was thinking TMJ because my jaws click when I open my mouth or chew... not much jaw pain or anything though. Maybe some discomfort in certain spots when I touch and apply some pressure. My face and muscles do not feel so strained or tired... but I can get tense. ETD I was thinking maybe...

I totally understand what you mean, sorry if it came off that way... what I was thinking of were mostly suicide stories or people’s last straw posts which are SUPER important and they deserve all the love and attention too!!But to a new comer those posts and stories can be the scariest thing.

Thank you for your response, I really wish the best for you :)

I understand entirely what you are saying. Research is vital in the beginning, and I did not mean to convey to not research. However, reading suicide stories, or people’s online panic attacks that descend into madness is what I was referring to. Those are important and should not be ignored, but...

Thank you so much Barbara, I’m very happy that it has provided you joy :) Thank you and wishing you success and happiness too!

true for some cases but reading suicide stories is a terrible idea in the beginning

My advice to you is to not jump into all the terrible tinnitus stories. Please don't fill your head with horror if you do not need to. Read successes. Success stories are key. I gripped onto the worst stories I could find and it made my life hell. And honestly? I did not need to read any of...
