Oh, I see, your point wasn't about it being First. Your point was that it might not be a treatment...

I'm on a major mission. I'm the Yuri Gagarin of tinnitustalk.

I know exactly how you feel as many others do as well, I am sorry we all have to go through this.

 

[Jack Straw]

Stay strong Derp! Neuromod will provide relief to many of us including you. Please hang on so you can give it a try!

It's all done in moderation.

The way I see it, this is like saying that that you shoot yourself in the head in moderation. The fact that you are doing it means that you are not safe.

Wouldn't you say that your exposure is similar to that of the people I quoted in the first post on
https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/learn-from-others-mistakes.29437/

In any case, of course not everyone regrets taking this risk, and if you do it in moderation you reduce the probability. But given how horrible T is, the risk you are taking seems mind numbingly high (and not comparable to your reward for exposing yourself to such a risk).

To those of you who gave me encouraging and comforting words, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! <3

To those of you who took this thread as an opportunity to give me advice I've heard thousands of times before (I've been at this almost five years guys, come on) and/or to toot your own horn (you know EXACTLY who you are) then shame on you.

@derpytia for some reason I have always been drawn to your posts and words. There is something special about you and even though people may not always reply - your words do something to make their lives better.

Thank you for being you.....

I'm trying so hard to keep going I really really am. I even have days where I can call them "good" days even though the tinnitus bothers me. And then there's days like today that start out good and I'm doing stuff to try and better my situations despite how hopeless/pointless it seems and by the end of the day im tired, worn out, and my tinnitus is so loud it's screaming and I just cry and cry even though I'm so tired.

I'm so tired. I want to die but I want to live so badly at the same time. Nobody in my world understands me. People aren't careful around me and my ears, I have too many things to do to try and keep living in this godforsaken world. I'm trying to do what I can to help this site and its staff and I feel like I'm not doing enough fast enough and well enough.

I'm so tired and sad and worn out and I need a hug. I want my life to matter and not be the pointless, shitty mess that it's been the past four and a half years.

HUG. I am so so so sorry to hear you are suffering so much. Are you on any kind of medications or supplements for depression? If so, what are they or what have you tried? I'm just curious because I was wondering if something could help you.
