@cjbhab I guess I am lucky I don't have those other things yet. Just this reactive sound from hell.
Tinnitus Talk Support Forum
@Tryn2BHopeful Call it whatever you want. This is a place to express ourselves when the people around us don't understand. Sometimes the people here do not either. The simple explanation is RINGING. But the side effects to that are astounding. @cjbhab is most likely dealing with some heinous tinnitus companions at this time. Hopefully many will not have to explore the depths of this condition.
I think I need a therapist or something... I was doing ok until recent events. This year has been to much...
@Tryn2BHopeful No shame in that. Anything you can do to manage the stress it great. Whether that be some therapy or taking medications. I've have some success with both of these methods. Stay Hopeful.
That's what I'm trying to do.
@Tryn2BHopeful - how have you been doing since coming off of mirt? I have been on two weeks. It really helps with anxiety and depression very quickly. My T has been trending badly. I am not sure if it's the med. I want to get off again and am really worried.
@4Grace I dunno... T is the same but lately my mood is in a downturn. Considering going back on but it sucks for my diabetes. I also worry if it might make things worse. I am sleeping ok ish
Dunno what to do, and haven't found much direction on what to do. So I just suffer each day. In doing such I a getting myself stuck, which is making things seem worse.
Overall I could have it worse, but it could be alot better. This condition is so relative.
@Tryn2BHopeful you took the words out of my mouth. If you can stay off the meds please do. If it gets bad then not sure, I went back on. Then I suffer from the fear of being on them. Can't seem to win.
@4Grace Dont know. I was doing as well as I could. Trying to fill myself with positive things, but it took one thing to knock me off the rails. I wake up every night thinking horrible thoughts and cant get back to sleep. I have so much to live for, yet my mind wont accept it. I guess I am struggling at this point.
I got this horrible humming from time to time that makes things worse. I don't understand wtf happened to me. All I wanted was to do the right thing, listen to the doctor and get myself on track and the complete opposite happened. Now I may be forever ruined. I am up shit creek without a paddle. My resolve had faded.
Honestly whats funny is I dont think the T is actually any worse than it was 2 weeks ago. Its me that just cant take it, but I realize I have no choice. I have to get up every morning, go to work, go to football games, make dinner, help my kids, try to keep the house in order. There are deadlines to meet, things to get done. Every moment I just want to fall into a pile.
Life hasnt been fair to any of us.
@Tryn2BHopeful - it's sounds like you are still taking care of a lot. Wow, I admire your strength. You are doing much more then most. I know it's hard but your doing it. This is not a BS post. Your doing as good as anyone can expect.
@Tryn2BHopeful we get to keep going. ❤️
@4Grace I worry about how much longer can I keep this up. My family gives me the strength to push forward. I am holding on with everything I got to not lose it. I dont want to sound like I have it worse than anyone out there, because I am sure I dont. Its my own personal hell.
Thanks for listening.
@SarahMLFlemmer I am sure you are just as busy with those 2 little ones! Your right, we got to keep going!
@Tryn2BHopeful - I know the feeling - "how long can I keep this up" Sarah is the voice of reason here … we got to keep going. No choice.
