Hello, It's Me... Bob

[RCS-canada]

Hello to all. I have had t for five months now. Doing my best to cope. Like many others here I went through a terrible first few months with this condition, I came very close to suicide as a fact. Thank goodness for the love of my wife of almost 40 years, she has been my rock. I have found you all to be so supportive to one another and helpful, with such educated knowledge of this affliction. It has brought tears to my eyes more than once.

What made my journey to this point so much harder, is that this was caused by someone else, a malicious hateful act. I am now on anti-depressants and anxiety meds, which help immensely. Being in this forum has also helped me so much. I thank you all for being suck loving caring people. The world needs more of you.

I am very shy, and not so educated, my wife also had to assist me to get on this forum, so forgive me if I don't understand how to reply, or continue a thread.

I will however be hovering around here for a long time to come.

And hopefully I can reach out to help others as well. Cheers to you all

Hi... Welcome...

Sorry to know your dire situation.
So glad that you have a loving wife to support you.
Try to habituate and co-exist peacefully with your tinnitus.
Please hang in there.
God bless !

Hello bill. Yes I have had some fading in the first few months. It is still with me, but much lower than the first two months. Of course I hope it leaves me completely but I have reconciled to t being a part of my life. I have read a lot of your responses to others bill, and I have to say, you seem to be a special person. You offer such positive and encouraging support to others. Thank you for taking the time to reach out to me, it means the world . Also thank you for the link.

Hello robhing . Thank you for the nice welcome. It is much appreciated. I am feeling more and more comfortable around this forum. You all seem so loving and supportive of each other it warms my heart, truly. I'm an atheist however, so I can't identify with any god, but your sentiment is really appreciated . Hope your t is manageable ? I'm learning how to deal with it day by day.

I'm an atheist however

You're going to get along famously with Jazzer then...

Welcome to the forum! I'm sorry to hear your tinnitus started with a malicious act by another person. Truly another challenge in overcoming such an adversity. Your manner and demeanor however tell me you're up to the task. -- All the Best!

Thank you for the welcome lane, and also for the kind words. Yes a person on a motorcycle with a very loud exhaust reved the motor up very high right as I was beside the bike in my car, I've been ringing ever since. I hope your condition is manageable. Hope the hear more free m you on this forum. Cheers
