Same, I always get told I should have kids, and honestly I'd be a great dad, but kids are a bigger diceroll than liquidating all your assets and going all-in at the casino, what if your kid is a total shitbag or something? That would suck hard.

My parents were extremely hard, and their grandparents were much harder. I think I grew up well, but my parents were extremely strict. The way I was disciplined growing up, could be contested as child abuse in some states. And their parents I hear were even worse. I get that one of the points of parenting is not to avoid being like your parents, but to soften the blow. Either way I'm not taking that risk. People from my family make terrible parents.

That really sucks. It's hard to know how to be a nice kind and caring parent if your parents are going hard on you all the time, you literally have no frame of reference otherwise. I'm lucky, my parents have their flaws but they never really put weird pressure on us to succeed, they just introduced my and my siblings to a bunch of different things and let us figure out what we liked. I still don't want kids though, I feel like my parents, while very proud of being parents, also weren't able to do a lot of things I know they wanted to.
I know they'll never say they regret it but I know I could accomplish a lot if I was childless compared to dealing with another human being I'm basically lording over most my life. I'm not trying to get hung up on any one thing anymore these days. Tinnitus has in a way helped me understand that a lot more, because it's easy to get hung up on.

My parents are honest. They definitely regret the decision. We're well off, so money isn't an object; but children take a massive toll on people's life. 18 years at least of having to deal with an annoying kid that produces nothing. There's a reason 1st worlders don't have many kids. That's because they don't have to. Kids are more trouble than they're worth.

Brilliant idea! Let's give them tinnitus too so they will support a cure!
-> Jastreboff gets tinnitus
->realises TRT is bull
-> becomes Tinnitus Talk research page addict like all of us
>Realizes that he's the reason that we don't have a treatment yet
>Starts regretting screwing sufferers over for the past 30 years.
I honestly think if MPP wasn't here I would have killed myself along time ago. I don't laugh at much nowadays but MPP is the dopamine hit I need.

How do you guys tolerate life?
I just can't get over my regret over letting doctors ruin my life by trying to ''fix'' nonexistant issues and causing chronic facial pain and discomfort, and tinnitus in the process. Every single waking day, no matter what I tell myself, I just can't get over it.
How do you guys go through the day, what keeps you going?
Sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place.

I don't really tolerate it, I endure it. I smoke a lot of weed. It makes time go faster. I never touched booze or drugs before tinnitus, but I've had tinnitus for so long, have been treated with such indifference by the "medical" industry, my friends think I ghosted them, my family thinks I'm nuts, and since my life is ruined (my career I worked hard for I lost awhile ago after T onset), I figured what the hell else do I have? Suicide? I'm too much of a wuss to kill myself. So I numb the pain with weed.

I used to be one of those obnoxious ''Won't ever touch any drugs, alcohol and such, not even caffeine or meds unless absolutely necessary'' kinda people. Can't really recognize myself any more. I'm also too much of a wuss to do it, but I feel like I can't stay alive much longer either.
Well, I haven't tried weed yet, so maybe that's where the secret is.

Every now and then my tinnitus gets so low that it dips below the threshold of perception, meaning I can't hear it. I hope you're not right on a technicality.
