Life Isn’t Fair...

[Jazzer]

Dear Tinnitus Talk friends,
This cropped up in my Facebook mail today.

I do realise exactly how tough our lives have become, I truly do,
and I also realise that this little word of advice is of very little help;
but I haven't so far found a real alternative, although I will never stop looking for one.

Very best wishes to everybody here,

Love

Dave

MEDITATION IS THE GREATEST AID TO LIVING WITH TINNITUS THAT I HAVE FOUND.

"The important thing to remember is that the purpose of meditation isn't to train your mind to run away from something. Instead, meditation helps you to observe something in a detached manner, free of emotion." from "Living With Tinnitus: A Practical Guide to Understanding, Treating, and Coping with Tinnitus" by Laura Cole."

There are just two simple techniques to learn

- a baby mouth
- tummy breathing

Hi my soul friend @Jazzer!!

For me through hypnosis I gradually started to find the inner "noise" or rather treat it without that fear. It took time for me to think of it or feel it to be just like any other outside noise. Chimes. Birds. Cars driving down the street.
It helped to a great degree in my life.

But on days like today with three construction sites on my small street....too many trucks and trucks and trucks and awful intrusive noise from it all...it gets to me. That isn't usual non fearful noise unfortunately. So my head is exploding with the inner noise. Sundays are great though because there isn't any construction noise at all!!

Anyways...just blabbing.

@glynis today I reread @Jazzer's thread and your reply and it gave me strength to face other things in my life right now. Thank you. And I hope this will be okay for you. Sigh...so sorry.

Yes meditation turned me around Star.
I managed to leave despair and panic behind me, and generally I do pretty well, particularly bearing in mind the massive change in my life style.
I always try and promote "M" because I know it makes a big difference.
I get the impression that very few members on here practice it.
Nobody seems to give it much credibility.
There are techniques to learn, as you know, but they are pretty simple and straightforward I think.
Perhaps people don't consistently persevere.
Everybody wants something that will turn the sounds off, which it doesn't do.
But it can "turn the anguish down!"
Very late now Star, and I must turn it,
but lovely to talk to you, as always,
Dave
