@gameover, I feel the exact same way. I never thought much about death or suicide pre-tinnitus. I felt like life was pretty good. But now, I'm constantly thinking about what could possibly kill me sooner or what can I do less of today to reduce my chances of living longer... because now I have a...

Why? Your April postings seem very optimistic...

T is at suicide levels after sugar binging 3 days ago :(

I have typewriter tinnitus too. I did surgery and it didn’t help me. It’s even worse after! It’s so unbearable that I consider assisted suicide. I cannot live with it.

We haven't lost any of the members in this thread to suicide have we? It scares me to read how some on here describe how they might actually be considering it. Do the members on here have a phone number or way to contact others for help? When I was in college I was good friends with a girl that...

...to avoid taking responsibility for a workplace accident. It's sad, but this is the reality we live in. I've even thought about writing a suicide note naming everyone involved, though I sincerely hope it never comes to that. I'm truly sorry that you've had a similar experience to mine. It may...

Couldn’t have said it better. I want to be here for the day where I can finally say “I beat it!”.

Very smart, Jerad: A lady on this Forum said, "I'm not committing suicide; tinnitus is slowly killing me, like any other terminal illness."

Plenty of people suffer from tinnitus but don't even consider suicide. Having them talk with a professional or someone else that tried to commit suicide can help them mentally deal with the noise. Everyone's ability to deal with the condition is different.

Maybe it's a cultural thing? For instance the highest suicide rate in the World among men is in Russia. Yet, although Russia has many problems, its standard of living will be much higher than much of Africa. Yet Russia tops the rankings (for men). "In much of the world, suicide is stigmatized...

Suicide is never the answer, but it makes it so there is no longer anything that needs to be answered which is honestly better than all the answers in the world.

I'm trying dude.

...These conditions are so horrendous and even more so because we receive zero understanding from the medical community. 8 months ago, assisted suicide was a topic that wasn't of much concern or interest to me. Today, with my intense worsening and suffering, I am happy and relieved to know that...

When I first developed hyperacusis (at a catastrophic level along with catastrophic tinnitus), it took many months for the hyperacusis to diminish. I don't know if this was due to the treatments I tried or if it might have diminished on its own. Crossing my fingers that at least the hyperacusis...

I was thinking about that this morning, even before I read your post and I agree. The thought of being disabled after a failed suicide attempt and still having this tinnitus is beyond horrifying.

Suicide is the cheap way out, sad anyone thinks that suicide cures it all. It doesn't but it does cause families to suffer. Speaking from experience to the loss of a son.

I don't really understand what you hope to achieve by making such statements.

...subset of the tinnitus population, so it’s hard to say with certainty. Here’s what we know about Kent and the timeline of his unfortunate suicide: Owner of the noisiest restaurant chain (Texas Roadhouse) in existence Contracts COVID-19 in November 2020 Develops severe tinnitus from COVID-19...

Every seventeen minutes, someone in the United States commits suicide. Each day approximately 86 Americans commit suicide, and 1,500 people attempt suicide. Suicide is the nation's eighth leading cause of death. For those 15-24 years of age, suicide is the third leading cause of death. More...

Yes! My tinnitus got worse from the COVID-19 vaccine. Ten months later and it’s still at suicide levels.

...I know of that can fix that. That's not a defeatist statement, it's exactly where we are February 24, 2024. Could tinnitus lead people to suicide? Oh yeah, for sure. At the one and only tinnitus support meetup I attended many years ago in Portland, there were two people in attendance who had...

True, but the rate of suicide in the tinnitus population is no greater than the rate of suicide in the general population. The rate if suicide ideation may be greater, but not the suicide rate itself. Dr. Stephen Nagler

Why assisted suicide ? If one wants to suicide can do it alone. There are countless options for not assisted acute suicide.

I was reading multiple suicide and euthanasia topics here last night, it doesn't look like suicide is a taboo here?

I still fine it very ironic that whites had far higher average suicide rates than slaves, for whom suicide was very rare. And if you doubt this was true, there are numerous sources that will verify it, including an extensive, 170 page thesis, AFRICAN AMERICAN SUFFERING AND SUICIDE UNDER SLAVERY...

...than that there is no way to know whether people disappearing from the forum are just taking a break, move on, or actually went through with suicide. I don't know whether it would be beneficial for members if we actually knew when someone killed themself, which is the sad reality when someone...

I'm no stranger to these feelings. Even before tinnitus. Trust me, I can relate and understand with complete hopelessness, lack of self worth and wanting to end suffering. I have some experience with this (I am also not religious). Right now I am suffering extreme grief from a significant loss...

Tinnitus is just a symptom and we can't die from it. So, it's not important for others. The only solutions are waiting for treatments or committing suicide. And if you commit suicide, it's your problem, not the doctor's.

There are medical journals about people who commit suicide because of horrifying health problems, the journals still suggest "psychological flexibility" as a way to prevent suicide. LMAO

I wanted to come back to this thread and thank you guys for talking me out of suicide a few weeks back. Not sure how it’s possible but it seems I started improving drastically after a very loud unexpected sound exposure (yea I know that sounds crazy). I have since started sound therapy. Thank...

Tinnitus can be a truly awful debilitating condition when it is severe. Severity will have a different meaning to different people with this condition. Those who say it's just a noise and cannot hurt or kill you have never endured severe unrelenting tinnitus. Tinnitus has the ability to sap all...

This is heartbreaking, Elmer. I'm very sorry.

Google catch the bus suicide. Catch the bus is a phrase meaning committing suicide. Widely used on the internet these days.

You won't see it now, but 12 months from now you will wonder how you even considered suicide. Life will again be beautiful. Hang in there.

European politicians are driving the Eurozone to an economic suicide by purchasing expensive American oil and gas, or by purchasing Russian oil from third countries at a hefty price. The middle men are making a ton of money while Europe is on the way to go bankrupt. Russia to cut oil output in...

I'm serious. I am planning on collecting suicide reports of tinnitus sufferers. There's several people here who preach habituation, mock people who are suffering with severe tinnitus and bash people who make a distinction between mild/moderate and severe tinnitus. But, those people don't seem...

Don't worry, we can soon overdose on Xenon pills and either cause a massive neurological shutdown and die or survive and shut down tinnitus.

Benzos can be a bitch to get off from. Are you seeing a psychiatrist? If not, I would recommend you find a good one that can advise on how to taper properly to minimize the withdrawal effects. He might temporarily switch you to an AD while tapering the benzo.

Well, bud, if there ever is a jeopardy game for tinnitus sufferers, you just upped my game. T sucks

Wait a minute -- suicide was your solution to his tinnitus? Well that's ironic since some people consider suicide "giving up" . . .

...bright memory. But I would like to speak out. In fact, I am against such topics, and against such a wide "savoring" on Tinnitus Talk of suicide cases. Yes, people leave, people commit suicide, because what more respectful reason to commit suicide than tinnitus, you can come up with on...

It's so damn difficult to not be contemplating suicide with hyperacusis. It's actually insane how quickly the mind goes to shit from this. Like, my suicidal thoughts haven't been this bad since high school when I was being bullied severely. And I already deal with horrible unmedicated...

The tinnitus population yes...TT is not the tinnitus population.

I had both on suicide level, very severe.

1. I posted questions about the application for “voluntary assisted dying” not the broad term “suicide”. 2. No, some information cannot be found online, that’s why I’m asking here and people who have applied know what I am talking about. 3. I haven’t jumped on anyone’s throat. I have asked for...

...take if the pain reached an advanced stage, great—I’d be happy to risk a bit of normality. But there isn’t. And neuralgia isn’t called the suicide disease because it’s a catchy slogan. Yes, unfortunately, I’ve always been an anxious person—this is not the condition for us. I’ve seen from...

H and T at suicide levels. Worst they have ever been. My ears feel fatigued all the time and all the tinnitus tones are higher...

...and also I had a bad cold and there began my severe tinnitus journey. Within a couple of weeks my tinnitus ramped up to what I call "suicide levels". It was absolute torture, even for Tinnitus Talk I think I'd been a very bad case. I also acquired very severe hyperacusis. I soon found myself...

This is the problem with forums. @2049v may read your post, and it won't help him mentally at all. I know it didn't me and took me down a very dark hole. Your reality may not be his. All I'm trying to say is that tinnitus can improve, especially during the early stages, and that you should give...

Give your father time, suicide is usually the response one has immediately after discovering that T is permanent. In a few years he will have habituated and the thoughts of suicide will reduce. Suicide sounds easy enough on paper, but it takes a lot more to actually see it come to fruition.

RIP Joe. I wish I could follow you. I am also very suicidal. I try to stay alive every day for another day. But my tinnitus is so catastrophic, it is unbearable for me. I am close to considering assisted suicide. It is pure hell every day, every night.

...getting worse indefinitely. My 23rd birthday is in a little over a week. I spent almost all of age 22 suffering from this. How many years of my life are going to be wasted? How many are going to spent miserable, crying all day, isolated from the world and contemplating suicide? Will I ever be...

No, but heavy duty marine rope cost $0.05/ft :LOL:

I believe that unless a suicide note is found, suicide can not be declared as the cause of death, even if it is the most likely cause.

Things wrong with this article: Title is "10% of women who suffer constant ringing in their ears attempt suicide, study suggests". The second bullet after the title says that in the study there was 900 women with severe tinnitus and 10% reported attempted suicide. This author needs to go back...

@Brian P, seriously dude, if someone told me I’d be in a suicide thread 1 year ago I’d laugh at their face.

That I have already shared... right here, in fact: www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/why-you-shouldnt-be-afraid-of-suicide-stories.23862/#post-275711 Contrary to the myths that sometimes get circulated on tinnitus boards, suicide is actually higher among those with tinnitus (particularly those with...
