I just can't live like this anymore. My tinnitus is awful today, my head is buzzing, my ear is vibrating. This is torture I can't get used to this. I had so much planned for my life but tinnitus stole it all away. I was going to college to become a nurse, but now I don't know how I'll be able to handle all of the work and studying. I had a 4.0 GPA and such potential. I wanted to marry my amazing boyfriend in a few years and eventually have children. But this has all been ruined. I'm a ghost of my former self.
I wanted to be strong and beat this but I just can't anymore. No one understands. My dad has Meniere's so he also experiences T but says he never thinks about it and that mine can't possibly be as bad as his and mine will go away. My mom and boyfriend think it's just my anxiety playing tricks on me and that everyone has some tinnitus. If I do poorly in college my parents would never understand and I would be wasting their money and I already have.
I was already extremely depressed and anxious before this bout of extreme T and oh the irony that I got it from taking a week of lexapro. I just can't handle this pain every second is almost unbearable and now the T seems to get worse and worse. I can feel it and I even heard it over the shower today.
I don't see it ever getting better for me.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help me. I hope there's a cure one day no one deserves this. I'll try and hang on for a few more days and see what my doctors say but I'm not sure after that.
