Chit Chat and All That...

[all to gain]

I'm doing ok. Work is kicking my butt, but that's normal, lol. Yourself?

All over the place is the best way to describe how i've been doing. It's as much to do with this goddamn noise as it is my other life circumstances though.

 

[all to gain]

Awful. Just awful

Hope your better.

Sorry to hear that. This thing is a monster.

I am rather up and down for numerous reasons. I need to hold it all together though for the sake of my children.

Hi all to gain, long time...

Living like this as a parent reminds me of that film "Life Is Beautiful" by Roberto Benigni, We doing everything in our power to preserve our children's innocence and happiness despite what's going on internally, pain or stress from tinnitus.

Yeah, you're spot on! I want my kids to have a wonderful childhood, one they will look back on and relish.

To help this process I no longer complain outwardly about this goddamn noise in my head or the ear pain. Nobody likes to see or hear about someone in pain it seems, so I just inwardly suffer when things are bad.

My simple goal in life now is to make it 67 years old, when my children will all be at least 18. I used to want to live to 100, but that's fairytale land for me now.

Hope life is not beating you down too much Daniel.

Thanks for the warm wishes, same to you.

I am emotionally doing better, touch wood. I am doing a salvage job on my existence and having some successes despite my cochlear/brain damage wave length. Yeh! Or fart noise!

Take care, agnostic, atheist, and theist blessings to you and your family,
Chit chat you later.

Er mah Gerd! Jcb is bax! How's everyone?

Hey man, how's things? I'm ok, same old shite you know haha

 

[Jcb]

Drowning in shyte unfortunately. Life is really really tough... Can't wait for the better days. Thanks for asking

Sorry mate, what an absolute fuckery all this is eh. Still no change then?

 

[Jcb]

Has anyone else seen The Old Guard on Netflix? I wasn't expecting much but was pleasently surprised. I swear, Charlize Theron is like a fine wine: The older she gets, the more she kicks ass.

(Not a fan of the super out of place soundtrack though)

It's on my to watch, Charlize suits those type of roles tbh. Hate when a soundtrack is totally off sync with the film, music is meant to add to the experience, thrills, emotions etc not give you a headache and tinnitus ...oh wait......

 

[Jcb]

Awful. Just awful

Hope your better.

Sorry to hear that Danish big big hugs mate not that actually does anything but the thought is there. How are you feeling now?

This really is a beast that just keeps draining you, you are still here whether you think that's a good thing or not. Your kids are lucky to have you and I know you said you don't "complain" about the noise anymore but talking is good and we are here to listen. Bottling all that up can make this thing 1000x more lonely. It's good to chat and have other people who know what you are going through. Big hugs man.

Sorry to hear that Danish big big hugs mate not that actually does anything but the thought is there. How are you feeling now?

It's up and down. Not a whole lot of up, but a lot of down, LOL :/ But I have started a very slow taper of one of my antidepressant, so hopefully that's whats causing most of this discomfort/pain, including a spike in hypercausis... and it will get better with time.

Thanks for the hug and the thought.

So happy to hear to this Daniel, I know you struggle so much. You are a good man, wise and always here with a friendly word for everyone. Big hugs to you as well.

 

[Jcb]

social distancing hugs with this covid and all...

edit: I notice they are not wearing masks and don't seem the recommend 2 metre distance

 

[Jcb]

When you actually feel a bit social for once and want a BBQ but then you remember you live in the UK and this is your summer.... f@#k it let's get to grilling some meat then.

Well from what I read I know a good few go through hell when they taper so it most likely will be that or at least it's contributing to this hell you are in at the moment. I'm sorry mate wish I could say something to help, all I can say is try to ride it out as best as you can and once everything has settled down with the taper things will hopefully improve some. You don't deserve all this crap, nobody does, you are such a nice girl Danish big hugs and as usual we are all here when you need us to help anyway we can.

Sorry it's causing all that. I hope it calms down.

You almost made me teary eyed say all that! Of course! We all need support with this. I know I crashed in June and my lovely TT friends were there.

And no one deserves any of this.

 

[Elmer B Fuddled]

I had 2 days of quiet then yesterday the damn ringing and hissing hit like a brick wall. Thinking back I believe what fired it up was the honey I added to my porridge, which probably wasn't pure but a jar of sugar. Now it's tough to ignore the ringing. Ya dumb ass Elmer!!!

I have on numerous occasions deleted all my profile information and deleted people following me because I had decided to leave the site and disappear and wanted to leave a blank page, but I keep coming back. I obviously have nothing against anyone I have deleted though

I just think sometimes it's good not to be discussing and reading about tinnitus all the time. When, if, a cure or treatment comes we will all know about it soon enough. The constant hope and then shattered hope following the research threads is too much sometimes.

Don't worry jcb, I heard the UK is expecting a heat wave later in the week, a top of 24c


Nice winter day in Melbourne today

Of course I get that, I take big breaks from here as well. I doubt anybody will be offended mate you have to do what's best for you and your mental health.

I think that's the dilemma, I agree about constantly reading about tinnitus can affect your mental health in the long run but it can also help some. It's hard not to think or read about tinnitus when it's there 24/7 but I understand what you are saying. That's why I mainly stay on this little stupid thread now, just post stupid animal pictures, bad dad jokes and awful memes

Just saying if you ever need to talk or rant this site can be a good venting ground.

It looks horrendous there Star I'm sorry so glad I live in the wet miserable UK to be honest.....


Haha who am I kidding it looks fecking glorious there, am not jealous honest yeah we will get one or two days of nice weather then the usual downfall

Hope you and your lovely family are ok and the little ones are keeping you on your toes.

Hopefully it will go back down Elmer, I know sugar, coffee, salt etc can wreak havoc on people's T but they normally go back down to baseline.

Don't beat yourself up, Elmer. Food spikes are pretty much always temporary, at least from what I've read and experienced. And it can be pretty tough to keep track of every little thing that can set tinnitus off.

I get you. When I originally joined Tinnitus Talk was kind of a toxic place to be. Luckily before I decided to completely stay away I made some friends here and for the first 2 years we emailed every year to support each other. I think everyone needs support. I would only check in now and then for other members, get some support, and so on. I try to stay away from certain threads.

So I'm very happy that @Jcb for creating this thread. Met great people and this feels more like a supportive place.
