Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

Just like a joke eventually stops being funny, eventually these memories will stop causing an emotional reaction for you. It could take 6 months or even longer, but you will get there.

Have you experienced Any improvement compared to how you felt 6 months ago?

Same same. How could we have been so stupid. Guess we weren't even thinking of our ears and now it's all we ever think about.

@Bill Bauer I really hope so. My anxiety has basically taken ahold of my life. I don't feel like I'm living, I've had to turn down a job. I just want it to go back to baseline, I had already habituated and was rarely thinking about it. At this point I'm really just hoping that this spike subsides with time. I just want some sort of normalcy back.

I have days where I can mentally cope with it better than others, today is one of those doom and gloom days where I'm just finding it hard to even be optimistic.
