I have been watching Julian Cowan Hill on youtube a lot lately. Mostly during the early mornings when I can't sleep. I am also intent on ending this thread on a positive note. His recommendations for body-based therapies and practices have inspired me to schedule an appointment with a...

That's how I feel now. I don't place the same value on things anymore, I'm not thinking weeks or months out anymore. I'm only dealing with what is currently staring me in the face., thinking like a mountain climber they say. I'll probably try melatonin to help me sleep although I've heard there...

I have not lost all those aspects. And I am promising myself not to do so. My wife is a rock and she is saving me. What I mean by being alone is during those long nights where she is sound asleep and I am not.

Yes, I do wear earplugs now. Was there a specific turning point or technique you used to improve your life? I have spent the day distracting myself with work / friends but night is a different matter. I can't distract myself 24-7. What can I do when I am alone? I called a crisis helpline twice...

What does it mean when your T is behaving? Is it not noticeable? My wife tells me to get out of my head, focus on others. This is something I've never done before and may be an opportunity. What are some coping machanisms you've developed?

Thank you Emma. I won't be leaving this community. I already feel connected after just one day.

Thank you Glynis. Though we are separated by an ocean, I can feel your love and am grateful for it. I feel like love will be the thing that gets me through. I just need to come to terms with this new state, that is the hardest thing. How long did it take for you to accept these changes? How did...

Had lunch with work colleagues and first time we had a genuine conversation. I feel somehow more bold in how I relate to people. I feel more empathy. I feel I can connect on a deeper level. The old me was very quick to judge, to pick sides, to have strong reactions to things. The new me speaks...

Thank you Ed209. I have always been a home body, usually doing solitary things like tv watching or working on my computer (I'm a software engineer). I know I need to branch out now and try new things. I will PM you with updates. I'm guessing people start feeling better because of coping...

It is a grieving period. I am in grieving. I feel nothing now, no joy. I need help.

It happened with accidental exposure to very loud sounds during a concert. Does it get better with time? I feel like I have to work for the rest of my days now just to recapture some semblance of my old life. I'm sorry if I sound so negative. This has devastated me. Seeing people at work, doing...

Thank you all for your kind words. I'm trying not to have any illusions about my condition. I have been practicing breathing techniques and they helped me sleep better last night. In fact this morning at my apartment, I actually quieted the noise. But riding the subway and coming to work brought...

I had a great life--loved my job, loving wife, great family. Now I feel like everything has changed in an instant. I'm having trouble sleeping for the noise, my appetite is gone. The things that used to interest me I don't care about anymore. I'm in shambles. My wife doesn't understand the...
