  • One of the only things that keeps me going is knowing the effect my death would have on those close to me. Silence is FILLED with sound.
    I'm getting so tired. 8 months and I feel like I haven't even lived. I'm really desperate to have consistent happiness again.
    @Lurius for all of the people saying Lenire is the devil, there is also a large contingent saying it helps. Glad you are feeling relief.
    Basically any PC fan noise or air filter will set off my tinnitus with a tss tss tss noise and I'm almost 8 months in. Is this nerve damage?
    Promoted at work and my boss thinks I'm doing a good job - I guess I'm really good at pretending to be functional.
    @kingsfan just to provide a data point, Xanax does lower my volume, but I've never tried other benzos. My cause is acoustic trauma.
    Time to try a new round of hail mary plays - shrooms, PRP, Lenire, longer fasting, ketamine and others on my list. Hard to procure but YOLO.
    I know absolute humility - there is no lower state than chronic suffering and seeing disgust/fear/revulsion on the faces of your family
    I tried to talk to my mom because I'm spiking, and she said she can't always help me and went to bed. I'm so low my parents recoil...
    Tinnitus today sounds like a hurricane wind is howling, shaking chain link fences in my head, and someone is using a vacuum nearby.
    I have two different, mutually exclusive conditions. Tsss noise which is like a gap in hearing, unmaskable; tones which are maskable. Why?
    Can we agree there is a dimension to T beyond volume, sort of like intensity? I've had loud but "dilute" T and quieter but "piercing" T.
    In case anyone wants a data point, my T started as a screech / eeee and is now much lower pitch 90% of the time. Somewhat less volume.
    It's been 6 months and I'm scared my mental health is still declining. I feel worn, like my body and my brain are damaged.
    I want a full week without being a wraith. Good sleep, energy, contentedness, happily anticipating tomorrow - we are barred these things.
    Benzo veterans, at what point do you start considering regular benzo use? I'm at 6 months and 5/7 days/week I still have no intrinsic joy.
    So 6 months in my EEEEE has changed almost exclusively to a much lower pitched WAAAAAAAA. Anyone else with similar experiences?
    This is one of the lowest days I've ever had - no idea why or how, but god it feels good to be momentarily "normal".
    I had a good start to the day, and now it sounds like a storm is literally going off in my brain and my ears are pulsing. Really down :(
