I've been playing a game called Snowrunner for a while. It's kind of relaxing to drive trucks through rough conditions.

Hey Winter The onset is hard for the majority I think. But it does get better. I went straight to the psyciatric hospital and couldnt see any way how I would do anything again, or be able to be something for my kids anymore. I was pretty fragile already before the T started, so it was a hard...

It’s completely normal to get some degree of anxiety with the T(short for tinnitus). It’s not as easy as said, but try to stay calm. We have no direct control over it, but freakin out normally makes it worse. I think you’re doing the right thing about seeing another ENT. They can be very...

@New Guy you were protecting your self. You did the right thing back then. Somehow it just stacked up over time. A nurse at the ward(not sure that’s the right expression) told me not to be so hard on myself, because I didn’t do it on purpose. If I knew all this would happen, would I then have...

Ive done many mistakes, and Im pretty sure many of them have affected my T. I have had days or weeks where I think it has gotten worse, but it always fades back to doing the usual up and down levels. Its not easy for any of us, but try to stay calm. Do something you enjoy or that makes you...

It’s good to hear that’s it’s going the right way again. Even small steps is still a step. Getting something done is a good thing. It does something to the mind. It might just be that it’s a small victory somehow. Or just that it’s something normal. We can’t be safe from everything and still...

You cant undo it, so better to be safe and take it slow. Thats what I should have done :( But it gets better. One day you dont notice the super market beepers, and later it will be something else you get used to.

Nothing needs to have happened I think. Ive been thinking about that for a long time, and didnt come up with anything. Some days Im just down, and even way down. I tend to work my way up with little things. Just small things to look forward to. And Im saying this on a bad day, so it does work...

They are easier to locate if they should get lost. Just follow the annoying sound ;-) I know that small dogs might have a bigger ego and want to act tough. But our small dog isn’t allowed to do like that. We tell him to be quiet and that’s it. I think every dog can learn that. Anyway he’s not...

Oh @emmalee they dont call me mosquito man for nothing ;-) We dont have black flies though. Never heard of them, but just checked out some pictures of them, and I can imagine that they are some nasty biting bugs. But we do have horse flies(might be called something else). They give a nasty...

I miss having a garden. Not that Im a "garden" person at all. A few years ago my family went though a tough experience and I got some kind of PTSD. At the time we lived at a farm where the property was 100x100 meters. And the previous owner was indeed a garden person. There were so many places...

I know that feeling all too well. And its haunting me. I never went to a concert, and never really got much noise. Never listened to loud music. At work I used a cutting tool once in a while, and for very short time. I didnt use ear protection every time, and suddenly one day out of nowhere, my...

I dont get to use them enough that I go spend money on it. Usually its my wife that finally buys me something that I have needed for long time :D Life is a gamble. Im not saying that we should be careless, but with the fact in mind that we are all different, some things isnt as dangerous as...

That’s great! Small steps are still steps. And you really can’t rush this. When I was about 2 weeks in, I went to a dollar store to pick up a few things. They had this spot lights in the store that had a buzzing and screaming sound. That freaked me out so bad. Thought I never would be able to...

I get what you mean. Sometimes it can bring the mood down to see others coping better. But we shouldn’t forget that we often feel way better than we did previously. Btw I sent you a message

I started to use antidepressants about 14 days after I got T. They administered it on the psychiatric hospital. After being on them for a few months I learned that one of them might even make it worse. A SRRI type I think it’s called. Also took some benzo’s in emergency situation. Found a...

I had H at the beginning but thing it was about perception in my case. I was so afraid of this thing that I thought everything would make it worse. Even just brushing my teeth seemed to make it worse. Later on I got H every now and then accompanied by a more piercing and electric T. But it was...

For sure you’re making good progress. I recognize the grocery store beepers not being as bad anymore, and that you forgot about the T for a short while when talking to a customer I believe it was. It’s like the beepers are really loud at first because you pick it up as being loud. But it’s...

All the sounds arround you most likely seems a lot worse than normal, because you are affraid of them. I was like that at first. Everything was too loud. Now its not that bad at all. Ive been exposed to many of the same noises you mentioned, and nothing happened. I work in an industrial...

You will get there. It might take some time, but at some point you might just accept it and live on. Ive been way way down, and got panic attacks where I had to lay down for a moment. Now Im just looking forward to little things. Before I had a hard time enjoying anything, but its coming back. I...

Im just passing on some positivity that I picked up somewhere ;-) Its all in the mind. My T has been pretty loud today, but I managed to stay positive. Its just a phantom sound. So managed to turn my mind on the positive things, and Ive had a nice day. Havent really had any anxiety today, and...

Hi, Im about 6 months in, and at the beginning I was very afraid of sounds. Felt like everything was loud. Simple everyday things was a pain. Now Im back to work(industrial production), and sounds doesnt disturb me anymore. Im careful not to get exposed as far as I can do it. But sounds that...
