    From Suicide Back to Normal Life Thanks to Habituation

    Hello guys! I have been quietly reading Tinnitus Talk for many months and just decided to sign up to share my story. My horror story started in June 2023 after attending rock concert (I never was a concert lover, just attended 3-4 in my life). At one point, I noticed that high frequency tones...

    Voluntary Assisted Dying / Euthanasia for Tinnitus Patients (Pegasos Swiss Association, Switzerland)

    Besides Gaby Olthuis, does anyone know of anyone else who underwent euthanasia or doctor-assisted suicide because of tinnitus? Is there a list of forum members who have committed suicide? I’ve seen threads opened for some, but there are those who passed away without a thread.

    Assisted Suicide and Tinnitus

    Hello, I am French and I ask you to forgive my bad language. I am 25 and I research information on assisted suicide for people with tinnitus. In France the subject is taboo because we are a country quite backward. Otorhinolaryngologists do not even know the anti-epileptics or any...

    Tinnitus and Suicide

    Heya, When I first got tinnitus 4 months ago I was definitely set on suicide. Even had worked out when and how and where to do it (NYE 2013). The thought itself was awful but the relief from that same thought was also liberating because I didn't have to hold on for much longer. I believed that...

    Thank you @MindOverMatter. I will try to reframe things in my mind after a good night's sleep. I'm just especially depressed right now because it's the 24-month mark and some bad stuff happened last week that I wrote about in the suicide thread. :( Anyway, I appreciate your kindness very much.

    @tomytl, Tinnitus sufferers I’ve been following and trusting for a long time also warn others against these frauds. A similar market has developed in my country as well. They prey on people on the brink of suicide, viewing them only as a source of money.

    Suicidal

    ...If you're not sleeping, you're in a very dangerous place. Get sleep aids, start a tea and breathing routine, and walk until you can't. Nearly every suicide is severely sleep-deprived. I'm at my worst when sleep is gone. I've tried it all. Do whatever you can to sleep. That's absolutely vital.

    Are you the same one who said they spent a month drafting suicide notes? If you're mild, you haven't seen anything, yet. Tinnitus has no limit. I suggest using hearing protection, avoiding loud noise, and even use double hearing protection if in doubt. This isn't something to play around with.
