Hi folks,
it's Fish reporting in with another post, that will shed some light on a question many newcomers always ask.
I have tinnitus, now what am I going to do? This a questions that many have asked and will always ask.
The first thing that I would do is try to understand WHY tinnitus has come into our lives. This is not an easy thing to do but folks, tinnitus will not just come for no reason.
Tinnitus usually comes because of the following reasons:
1.Loud sounds/music
2.Medications
3.Stress
4.TMJ
5.Illness
I would for sure try to understand WHY this is happening. We cannot 100% pinpoint at times, but its worth a try. I knew WHY my tinnitus came into my life, It was because of an illness that almost took my life and then followed up with rock concerts.
Now that the tinnitus is here, how are we going to deal with it? Tinnitus will make you adjust your life. There is no other way. We need to find a strategy that will work for US and work for the TINNITUS. We have to come up with a game plan.
Folks, just because tinnitus has come, we shall not just stick up the white flag and yell "I GIVE UP".
Coming up with a plan will take lots of time and lots of effort. I highly suggest that you do it yourself or get together with people that love you and work on a game plan.
This game plan does not need to be complex at all, it can be simple things that will make a good impact on your life and on the lives of those that love you.
As an example: If you use to go to bars and socialize there, maybe you can go to a beautiful setting in a garden with natural/tranquil sounds and enjoy your time there. This is a shift from an old setting to a new one.
As an example: if you use to go to the gym and do dance cardio classes, maybe you can start doing mindful yoga in a quiet place.
ALL of us need to make adjustments with tinnitus, it's unfortunate but it has to be done. My post is to let you know that we CAN make the adjustments and we CAN still live our lives. It takes time to get use to our new lives but IF we work on the adjustments, then it is all possible.
Every day can bring new hope. Every small step forward/every small victory, eventually adds up to a HUGE gain in our lives. It's not an overnight success.
One of my favorite phrases "Rome was not built in a day". Folks our lives POST tinnitus takes LOTS of time and adjusting. It's those baby steps each day that slowly get things going again.
This post simply tells us, that we NEED a new game plan for our lives. Life can still be a blessing and need to always be thankful for it.
An adjustment that must be made, is to for sure avoid stress and negative people and situations. This is a major adjustment that needs to be made. Avoiding loud sounds and places must also be made.
I got tinnitus over 30 years ago and I was a wild child and lived my life to the edge and fullest. I was humbled by tinnitus and my other health issues. I made plenty of adjustments in my life and now it is paying off. You can do the same and make the needed adjustments that will help you live a good life with your tinnitus.
Don't ever think for one second, that you can't do this. YOU CAN DO THIS!
Make those adjustments, keep moving forward and NEVER GIVE UP!
PS-Come up with a game plan, stick to it. It can be hard at first trying new things, but you can do this. I do this daily and try to improve my life and my outlook on life. In the end we are simply trying to not make our tinnitus worst and make our lives better....
