It's still _your_ life. Unique even with tinnitus. But I understand what you mean. We will probably not experience "lightheartedness" anymore. The nightmare of tinnitus always behind the corner. But I am sure we will find a balance, a tradeoff. I am still struggling myself, but I try to stay positive. People with tinnitus are the strongest, no doubt anymore.

You are doing very well. Your life will go back to normal if a cure is found. It's fake negative thoughts from your reactions & trauma. Your battle is real. Patience and hope we get an actual treatment or cure.
Me too. Even if a cure is found somewhere in the future, nobody can give back these years wasted to tinnitus. I will always have PTSD from this nightmare.
