We were invited to a birthday party/friends reunion this weekend.@aura, wanna tell us about your issues...? Ears plus migraine...?
My husband, my best friend and another friend of ours celebrated their birthdays together.
I guess the long day at work and the fact that we had to drive for 2 hours was too much for me and my ears.
When we arrived all our friends were already there, having fun, laughing and singing. When I heard the music I panicked and burst into tears. I went to my room and cried myself to sleep.
I didn't even say hello to my friends that night. That's when I took that picture.
My tinnitus was screaming and I felt like I didn't fit in there anymore and that my life as I knew it was over.
I decided with my husband that we should leave home the next day and not to try doing something similar before I get to feel better.
So the next day we packed everything and decided since we were already there to go for a walk before saying hello AND goodbye to our friends.
That was the best thing to do.
That trip really made me feel better after a long, long time.
The weather was sunny, the birds were singing, the butterflies were flying... I almost forgot about all my problems.
After the relaxing trip, we decided to stay there after all. It was a good decision, because very slowly, step by step, i managed to feel better.
I talked, laughed and played games with my friends, we had a Halloween party and I remembered how it feels to be "normal" again.
They understood that I'm having problems and kept the volume low
My husband also had a great time and he totally deserved it. All he does is working and listening to me complaining all day long...
Anyway now I'm back home, my tinnitus is bugging me as always but at least I had 2 beautiful days...
I'll just leave some photos that speak for themselves.
