@Jazzer I get your point loud and clear Dave, I truly do. I know the more severe sufferers may not move on, struggle more, lose everything, feel like they are not listened to. I know we need push them to the forefront as they are not really represented. I'm in my own hell trust me I fucking get it mate, I get it!!
What I don't get is when people get on their high horse and spout about "integrity" blah blah blah and telling it "how it is" but in the same breath feel the need to tear down people who are trying to help, I get that some with mild/moderate may not have the foggiest as to what people go through, they may be naive, find it strange why they just can't move on. We can educate them where it's needed but in a way where they not ganged up on which I see so many times in here. Now in this instance it wasn't needed at all in my opinion especially as Martin directed the post at me when I was feeling shitty and worthless about myself.
I know I say it a lot but it's all about balance, why should somebody who has come through this regardless of whether their tinnitus is loud or not and tries to give some hope and encouragement in a nice, non patronising way be told that they "lack understanding" or they are telling "fairy stories" that part I don't get as it's a fact not fiction especially for that individual.
If anybody gets through this, however they can that's bloody amazing, if their advice helps one person how is that bad?
I'm not going to fall out with you mate, I know you are a good guy with a big heart, the main thing that pissed me off was your reply to Emma, it was totally uncalled for and a shitty thing to do.
I'll be blunt, I've noticed over the last 6 months your attitude has changed especially from when I first joined, you seem more aggressive and angry. I hope you are ok buddy, I really do.
It's been a pleasure getting you know you all I mean that, take it easy people
Nowadays I watch cats on YouTube...
