  • Horrible shaking and the tuning fork-type tones in my head have gotten at least 25% louder
    Turns out I have to get 5 (!) fillings and 5 teeth removed (4 of them wisdom teeth) I'm devastated.
    Why must music be SO DAMN LOUD in clothing stores? Are you trying to sell me clothes or Ed Sheeran's crappy new album?
    Relatively good day at work, I wasn't thinking of t 24/7. Still really nervous and anxious and sad when I wake up and go to sleep
    Dreamt I jumped off a high cliff last night. Woke up with a peaceful feeling for the first time in months. Scared.
    New, completely different sound. High pitched hiss, unmaskable so far. Slowly going insane
    I really (!) want to get my motorcycle license but I'm too scared of t setbacks.. So hard to balance distraction and prevention. :(
    It's raining so much tonight! Best sleep I'll get in weeks. Room now smells like pinetrees and camping. Storm-sounds are the best masker

    That sounds heavenly. I love rain even more, after getting T......usually it is pretty rainy in my country, but lately.......not that much :/
    Laying in bed watching series all day to distract myself..(Marvel's The Punisher is pretty good) Feeling like a coward.Noise is killing me:(

    It's ok to feel like that, especially in the beginning. Focus on getting through the day.
    Dealing with what I hope is a 'spike'? It's been 6 days.. :( I am about to eat a croissant, so that's good, I guess. Trying to stay positive
    Quit CBT. Postponing EDMR due to it being very intense.

    Started EMDR. It is.

    @Jack Straw It didn't work. CBT uses exposure to treat, assuming exposure will (eventually) lead to a positive or neutral response. In my case every exposure to my fear (tinnitus) lead to more fear and never anything neutral or positive. I guess I'm just not 'there yet', I am having some hopeful feelings regarding the mindfulness aspect, decided to focus on that.

    @Lynny mindfulness is very important in reducing all other stress in our lives so tinnitus can't feed off it. Best of luck!
