Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

I have no hope left. I'm tired. Just sedate me until this is over.

The next 3-6 months (possibly less time in your case, as you have already been experiencing improvement, unlike most others who are less than one month in) will be the hardest you've had (and hopefully will ever have) in your life. But at least yours is fading. Imagine if it were relentlessly at the same level (which is how it is for many here).

@Bill Bauer Thanks for always being encouraging. However it's just been pretty loud the last 24 hours and I'm having a tough time telling if it's getting better or not. I have a lot of difficulty sleeping and my anxiety just comes on out of nowhere. I'm just so tired. I don't see a bright future for me.

My tinnitus has fluctuated randomly from day to day for 1,5 years now. I've finally accepted that a good day is not a sign of anything getting better long term, it's just how my tinnitus behaves. Accepting this made it easier to live with. "A good day? Great, time to enjoy the shit out of it because tomorrow will probably be a loud one."

That doesn't give me hope at all sigh
