Heya everyone,
I want to start by saying thank you to everyone who has commented on my posts, especially the earlier ones. They meant so much to me that I have printed them all out and re-read them every day and it gives me strength to start the day positively. I no longer want to kill myself. The thought's are still there, but I am able, for the most part of the day, to push them away and ignore them. I check this forum every day, multiple times a day and I feel like you are all my family and I would do anything to help you live a more stressfree, and a less anxiety driven life. Without having your support, I don't know what would have happened to me. It was such a relief to read your stories and your posts almost literally were as if you had peered inside my mind and copied my thoughts. It was strange to read things where I thought "I think exactly the same" even when I'd never talked about it myself. My tinnitus is just as bad as it was at the beginning and I'm still getting anxious about it, but not as much as before, i think! I still wake up each morning and wish for it to be gone, and it isnt. And yes, I do feel sad about that, but now I realise that there's nothing much I can do about it, so just get on with my day as best I can. Tinnitus doesn't physically stop you from doing anything, only emotionally. I'm going to take a break from this chat for a few days, just to see how I go by myself. I'll be back though, as I love you all. Again, many thanks for all the help and advice, Love Nina
