I'm Freaking Out and Searching for Tinnitus Every Moment

[JSalvatore]

I feel I can't breathe properly, I'm searching for my T every moment and I can't stop doing it, I'm really freaking out and really frustrated.

I developed a morse code beeping a week ago, it's low in volume but I'm freaking out so hard that I I'm probably imagining it rather than hearing it. I don't know what to do.

Just came back home from university and considering taking a klonopin I have laying around there.

Sleep, go out in nature with friends...I heard peculiar sounds a couple of times, then they left...try to relax and you will get back to baseline, what you describe is obsessive behaviour...as your awareness shifts onto something else you'll do less monitoring, hence you won't notice the nuances of your sounds. To stop monitoring you need to relax and "behave as if" to get distracted, which will give u breaks from monitoring. If you think you're imaging it then it's probably your anxiety or at worst a faint sound...either way not loud t.

I've had a few new sounds that went...honestly nothing beats the all pervasive scream I get in my head...even if the zaps I used to get were peculiar.

I've had the morse code/radio tuner sounds for months now. Just like with regular T try to distract yourself because you NEED to get your mind off of it. I think it is has a very strange affect because it literally sounds like something is transmitting so your mind keeps picking up on it.

If you have to search for it, it's not that bad. If you chill out, it might actually go away. I've had T for over a year now. It's super loud. There's no searching for it and I can pretty much not pay much attention to it. At first, I wanted to die and that was when it wasn't very loud. Now, I can live my life. Don't get me wrong. I still freak out some times and I would do almost anything to get rid of it, but I'm not freaking out about it most if the time. It doesn't seem possible but yet in time your brain learns to accept it. You'll be ok. Just stop thinking about it.

I'm sorry about your situation, it seems that the morse code has increased your anxiety. I am going through a rough patch myself with anxiety and i am fighting it with exercise and nature and smiling, even though I don't feel like smiling. Don't obsess over this, the more you do, the more it can bother you.

Talk it out with a friend or a loved one, you can pull through this

Bit out of the blue, but just wanted to let you know I was having a severe panic attack and your comment calmed me down. I have this morse code tinnitus for a week now on top of my high pitched tinnitus that I'm almost habiuated to. And I thought I was lost. I thought there was no way I could habituate to it until I read this. The way you describe that it feels like something is being "transmitted" makes me certain you're experiencing the same thing I am. Bit of a relief and a reminder that I need to stay strong.

Update:
I haven't heard the morse code for about a month. The solution was to take my mind out of it, got into my studies and aced an exam (yay), fortunately the sound got quieter when days passed and it's been a while since it dissapeared. Sorry I haven't been around to update sooner.
