    Do all of us T sufferers share some kind of cosmic bond or is everything in this world random, meaningless coincidences? Bad day today

    I do, have been working remote since my onset. But they want me to go back in the office soon, so I am currently looking for a new job working remote. The long drives to the office and all the unknowns are just too much for me. Will you be in office or remote?
    Juliane
    @Ryan Scott I know exactly what you mean. I have been allowed to start the new job working remotely "for now". Like you, I cannot bear going to the office, so I need to find a way to make the remote option permanent. Or find another job that allows it. It just sucks so much having to deal with this on top of everything. I hope you find your remote dream job :-)

    Need a walk but get exhausted by the thought of busy noisy streets and ear plugs :-( Should however get some exercise

    You have any hiking trails near you?
    Juliane
    @kingsfan Not really. But there is a forest nearby I sometimes go to. Might try that again.

    I enjoy hiking, especially in the early morning when no other humans are on the trail.. just me and the mountain lions. I get the opportunity to take out my earplugs and enjoy the world as intended.

    Trying to stay off coffee which is tough when you love those beans! Anyone has experience with decaf and T? Good? Bad? Meh?

    Having a bad day following a very bad night with intrusive loud T. Wonder how long I can continue when life seems pointless....

    Are you new? I'm told the first year is the hardest. I still struggle 3 months in but not as bad as the 1st month. Someone just told me a great quote "don't look for the silence, look for the happiness."

    Zopiclone helped me sleep in the beginning of my tinnitus worsening, but now I worry it actually made it even worse :-( Feeling regretful.

    7.5mg mirtazapine here... I wouldn't call it a perfect solution but I'm not sure what is.

    Thanks. I do remember at least one post where someone was stating zolpidem increased their tinnitus. Perhaps I would have an issue at a higher dose, like if I took 10 mg regularly, but I'm trying to keep it minimized to reduce tolerance and so my Dr. will keep authorizing refills. It's helping, but I'm still lacking sleep.

    A side effect of these kind of sleeping drugs is pretty severe anxiety - it doesn't occur in everyone and it can vary how bad it gets to you but it really got to me. When taking Zopiclone, think very short term windows of time. I use it only in the absolute worst emergencies, like if I went 7 days in a row without sleeping or something like that.

    T since 2003, was managing fine (as in not even thinking about having T) and then all changed in January 2023 after new acoustic trauma :-(

    Seek out stories from people who had acoustic trauma and took a few years to recover. Those helped me tremendously. In the worst period I just laid on my side watching videos on mute. I called it "equilibrium" because it was the most bearable time. It was worse than any other health condition I've had because no one understood what I was going through.
    Juliane
    @Keith Handy Thanks a lot for the encouragement. That gives me a bit of hope. How long have you struggled and how are you today?
    Keith Handy
    Three years and much better. I'll write an official three year update post in a couple weeks.
