You know what gets to me the most? The creepy music that always leads to something shocking.
Yes the intense music always adds to the creepy vibe of a film or emotional music when a sad scene is on. I watched the Nun the other night and it was awful haha nearly turned it off.
I do like The Conjuring films and the first Insidious film, I enjoyed the story.
He does, he's always full of energy... you think the amount of time he runs around trying to catch his tail or licking the patio doors he would be exhausted but nope

That made me laugh
look that those 2 beautiful dogs, you know what's funny I only have to say hello and mine bounces around doing a sprint on all the furniture! He's so so dumb Emma haha but he makes me laugh so much 
That made me laugh
That's why we love them, Jcb. (He's actually as clever as a fox, if the truth be known.) His job is to make you laugh, a lot. He instinctively wants to make you happy and he is very good at his job. I am so happy that you have him, he is lucky and so are you.

Emotionally I'd say he's intelligent everything else..... hmmmm not so much
When I'm having a "emotional" day he's so chill and just sits by me or lays his head on my lap or shoulder, will not leave my side so that's why I say I think he's emotionally intelligent or mature whatever you wanna call it. Once I'm feeling a bit better he's back to licking windows and chasing his tail or just watching the washing machine go round and round

Unpredictable is the right word that comes to my mind with my tinnitus, I had ten mostly really good years with it, then seven years of moderate tinnitus a few days per month. I got spoiled with the first ten and I wanted them back so bad I went down the medication path, and although it did appear to help at first it turned into a disaster.
Now I have had nine months of severe tinnitus, If I could turn the clock back I would never have touched the medication, for others it might work, but it is a case of roll the dice, win or lose......it really is a bloody lottery.
And you are right Jcb, Tinnitus and its unpredictability is definitely hard to handle.
I'm so sorry Star, what a load of absolute s*@t!! It's a mine field, a literal mine field! The fact some things may help others like medication, coloured noises etc but then have a detrimental effect on others is so frustrating, it feels like you are dammed in you do and dammed if you don't.
I think this is why people get so angry and frustrated, it's the not knowing part, if I do this will it help or will it make my T 100x worse! My other little mate TracyJ is the same as you, took meds and it's amped up her noise to hell level, the pain and suffering that this causes is heartbreaking.
Listen I'm a "positive" person but it's gets so hard to keep that frame of mind, so so hard at times. I feel helpless, all I can do is give words of encouragement, post silly pictures and comic strips.
You should be so proud of yourself, regardless of the medication and the affects it's had, you are powering through this, we all are. If I honest there are times when I just think f@#k it what's the point but then something inside tells me to keep going, keep putting them feet in front each other. There is so much beauty and love and experiences in this world, I want to get the chance to feel all that again and I'm hoping we all will one day.
I really liked them, I often look up quotes just to try and give me that oooomph I need haha sometimes they work, sometimes not so much.
Same here, some days I feel like I can take on this and everything but some days I just don't want to get out of bed.
I think T can be so isolating, it's like we have lost some our spark, the light doesn't seem as bright anymore but I'm still on this hellish journey and will find my way back somehow, stay strong Sarah
Not very good at all, Jcb. I called the doctor this morning and he strongly suggested that I take .25 milligrams of the clonazepam to help take the edge off. He thinks it will help me to relax and get a much needed nights sleep.
Still haven't done this yet, I am going to give it the rest of today and tonight and then reassess things in the morning.
Thank-you for thinking of me, Jcb. Where would we all be if not for TT and its caring members?
Oh Emma I'm sorry, what a load of crap this all is. I know in some it helps take the edge off but then in some it doesn't help, there is benefits and negatives with any medication sadly. I would always say listen to your doctor especially with medication but in terms of T they are quite ignorant and I honesty don't think they know the consequences that come as result of taking certain medication while having T.
Wish I could be more help as I'm pretty much anti meds.
Lack of sleep plays havoc with T, it's so frustrating. Have you taken any sleeping aids?
Keep marching on, have a good cry if you have to, scream (with muffs on of course) we got this Emma.
You help more than you know, Jcb. It is simply knowing that any one of us can come here and talk about our day and how we are coping and within a short time another will come and try to comfort us.
I am anti-meds also. Don't know if I mentioned it to you, but the doctor gave me 5 pills in July, no refills, to be used when the situation becomes too much. The bottle sits unopened on my nightstand.
I have some chamomile tea which I will have tonight before bed. No walking today, it is that bad, unfortunately.
Of course, I know that's one of the best things about here tbh, as you said it's the fact somebody will reach out and give some kinds words and some encouragement.
Yes I think you did mention that, you've got some willpower Emma, that's always a great asset. Have a nice cuppa and maybe put some nice tunes on or watch something to try and take your mind of this crappy week you are having. I now I sound like a broken record but we take each day as it comes and hope for a better tomorrow.
Strength comes when we need it most, might not seem like it at times but it will be there, even if it's in the background quietly edging us on.

Thanks for the kind words Jcb , your comic strips and pictures are not silly, they make me smile and laugh as they probably do for a lot of us, we need to try and enjoy life as much as possible. You are also a very compassionate man and your posts are light hearted and fun, heck we all need a bit of that, so I am grateful you post these things.
@emmalee also posts some great photos and her recipe is making its way around Melbourne LOL. I think you will smell all the pumpkin pies cooking from down under next week, I have had to hand emmalee's recipe out to about 7 others so far that attend my granddaughters kinder, everybody wants to give it a try, it is something we never really see here, her kinder teacher even asked for the recipe.
They have been telling Halloween jokes at her kinder, this is two of them I have heard the same jokes all week now so Ill pass them on LOL.
What do they teach in witches school? Spelling.
What do skeletons order at restaurants? Spare ribs.
I am sorry to hear about your mate @TracyJS , it is heartbreaking to hear so many people have had their tinnitus made worse by trying to get relief, but one should never give up hope that things will settle. We must all try and stay positive, and that is what it is all about jcb, hoping somebody will prop us up when we feel low because as you know tinnitus will do that to us all at times, no matter how positive we try and be.
Hugs to all

Thank you Star, glad they help a little. Agree 100 about the need to lean on others, share your thoughts and feelings. I know they are just words but one kind word, a bit of encouragement and hope can help a lot sometimes.
Haha I love that, I'm going to try the recipe soon, I used to love baking, cooking it really chilled me out for some reason, unfortunately not so much these days.
Those Jokes Star
terrible but they made me laugh. That's great, it'll be pumpkin pie overload, should have a competition of whose is the best pie. Some nice Halloween spirit and comfort from the pies, sounds bliss 
Hi, Jcb. I had an okay night, even slept pretty good. The tea always works for me, as long as I take it just before I go to bed. The spike is not worse, perhaps even a bit better. Getting a few solid hours of sleep is most likely the reason. Still no meds, in fact I put them away, out of sight out of mind.
I plan to hang around, no one is getting a break from me, just yet.
Hey, good to know the pumpkin pie recipe is being shared.It is very yummy, guaranteed! Love your jokes, by the way. I am always up for a good laugh, it's the best medicine by far.
I hope you are doing well Star, please know that I am thinking of you.
