I still think I deserved better. Like I wasn't given a second chance for some reason. I'm not freaking around when it comes to my health. I stopped listening to music at loud volume immediately after hearing ringing, but it was already late. And I'm still not sure what caused it. Music or eardrops

I'm also not sure where I'll be able to get 2K for Auricle when it comes out. I do NOT want my family to pay for it. But on the other hand I'm completely disabled now. I can't work physically and from home. T, H, panic attacks, and severe untreated ADHD and depression. Getting disability is also impossible according to many people
These past 3+ months are truly insane. They are so heavy on my mental and physical health... habituation would ease many of problems but it looks like it's a very very slow process, especially when you can hear your tinnitus above any single sound except for the shower and heavy rain. I have no idea how to continue move forward with my life when I can't even take trash out without crying on a parking lot
I will never do this but the idea of being on antipsychotics or antidepressants that are erasing emotions and feelings sounds very tempting. Cannot believe my life is like this since November 2023. Unbelievable
I want a 2nd chance, too!
Erasing emotions or feelings would be preferred over some of the symptoms such as increasing T or, as I have now, stomach discomfort and pains months after weaning off antidepressant. Habituation can work in reverse as tinnitus worsens. That's what happened to me - tinnitus worsened and no longer habituated.
