Hey
I think that's the hardest part. You feel so alone and worst of all no one empathises with you, I actually had one of my best friends call me a coward.
All of the sudden Ive been thrown into a life where I need to ask people not to slam doors around me, I'm wearing ear muffs and I feel like the guy from 'There's something about Mary'.
So I understand man.
In my mind I have convinced myself that so much as going to visit a friend is just too much of a risk.
Perhaps if I lived in LA we could go down to the library and play some chess haha.
Unfortunately I live in Melbourne, Australia.
I was thinking about reaching out to a support group or something, somewhere where I can just talk to people with tinittus and maybe even get some advice.
All the best with your struggle, I'm trying to to see it as just another test, a difficult one but a test all the same.
Good luck.
