    Jealousy Is Eating Away at Me

    I am so, so, SO jealous of people who don't have tinnitus. I am painfully envious of people who fall asleep at night in silence. I'm so jealous of people not having to wear ear plugs constantly. This isn't fair. I'm so miserable and alone.

    Tell Me Your Happy Place

    I am in my happy place right now; the bath. My bathroom has a fan that hides my T and the washing machine is on in the laundry room so "no" T! Bubble baths are my happy place. Where is yours? :)
