Say Boo to Your Tinnitus!

[Carlos1]

I am leaving this forum.

I don´t plan to be logging until october, when I will probably make a year with tinnitus. I promise to give an update then and it will be when I will write my own success story.

The reason is that I am moving on. This is the next step in my T journey.

Right now I feel totally recovered. Yes, I have T but simply put I do not care.

T put me in bed and made me suicidal for 3 or 4 months. Now I do anything I used to and I do not stop doing anything because of T. I have written several possitive posts lately expressing these things, which I hope will help the newcomers to this noisy neighbourhood.

I want to personally thank the help provided by these people. Guys, you are all key in my recovery.

@Markku @Zimichael @Dr. Nagler @I who love music @Meestijn @meeruf @AnneG @Jade @ShiningStar @carol kane @Stina @billie48 @frohike @LadyDi @Hudson @mick1987 @James White @yonkapin @Aaron @NeoM @daedalus @DezDog @matttipekkka @Jeff M. @Carlos1

For you newcombers you´d better listen up to what these guys say.

If anyone wants to reach me you can send me a private message. Those arrive to my mail so I can come back to have a private conversation.

See you soon.

Best,
Adrian

Thanks for all the positive posts and all the best to your life from T forums. I am sure you will live it positively and abundantly as you had already posted about the fun things you have been doing. Love to see you come back to post your success story. God bless.

Good luck, Adrian!

In a way, you have already written your success story! I wish you calm, quiet days and nights, and I'm glad you're taking the next step in your tinnitus journey.

We'll look forward to hearing from you again in October.

Very best wishes,
Karen

I do not think I am a 100 pc success story yet but I am on the way.

In two days I will be 4 months with tinnitus and I feel good, nothing to worry about.

My T is loud, I can hear it almost every time but I don´t care. There are more things in my life than a stupid noise I cannot do anything about. Do not get me wrong, I would like no having Tinnitus... but I do not even feel like hating it because that is emotionally reacting to it and that is coping. I do not even feel like coping with tinnitus, there is no point on doing that.

Why should I cope with something I cannot control. As Dr. Nagler says: I do not cope with my pants, why should I cope with my tinnitus then?

Anyways, I just wanted to say that I feel good to cheer up those who are doing badly.

Alifalijohn, I have t for 24 year. had a few relapses but the last 10 years have been great. Now it is acting up. I see you just started. Sorry, but lets rehabilitate together. GO!

 

[alifalijohn]

epin..

your posts were the first i ever stumbled upon 2 months ago when i was at the beginning of my t awareness.

I am so happy for you that you are well on your way to habituation.

I too am able to sleep without masking; easily, if i allow myself to relax and crawl into bed when im ready for zzz. I do prefer to sleep with a fan but i know i can just as easily fall asleep without it. i can also sit in a quiet room (as i am now - library) and not be bothered by it whatsoever. the brain is an amazing thing!

had a little glitch last night; with a temporary perceived increased in loudness and new sound. crept up behind me, tapped me on the shoulder and went BOO. scared me i must say, but now that ive had that experience, i know if it happens again, i will be able to settle it down just by turning my focus away from it. i slept just fine afterwards.

anyway good work Epin. its always good when people make the effort to come back with their success stories. Did you actually meet with Dr Nagler???

I have been very scared of my T. Now I am not.

My Tinnitus made me believe things that are not certain:

I thought I was disabled for life.

I thought I would never be able to work again. I thought I would be alone forever. I thought that I would never smile again. I thought I would never could go clubbing again. I thought I could not listen to the music....

I thought so much BS that I started to believe it--> Suffer

Guess what? Everything negative I thought around my T and all my thoughts have been FALSE!

I still can play guitar, get drunk, read, smile, meet people, work, read, write, play football, hook up with chicks, sleep, go clubbing (earplugs) and so many things that I thought I would never do again.

I was very scared about my Tinnitus, Now my tinnitus is scared of me because IT CANNOT CONTROL ME OR DETERMINE WHAT WILL I DO TODAY.

He wants to drive the bus (@Dr. Nagler ´s example) but I am the bus and I am in control of the steering wheel.

So each time that noisy passenger in your bus, the T, comes up to the steering wheel I want you to say BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to it.

No matter the loudness no matter the pitch as we do not get scared (react) of our Tinnitus.

C´mon it is not big deal SHOUT BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to your tinnitus.

SCARE the hell out of it. C´mon I do not see you shouting
Once again say BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to it.

Do not believe the things it wants you to. It is just not true.

As I read in a post from @Zimichael ( guy who has had T since the 50´s) We cannot let tinnitus spoil our lives.
It is just not worth it.

Have a beautiful day you beautiful people!

Old post . LOVE IT , new to Tinnitus this help me a lot

I am new to this forum. My question is do all that succeed(habituate) stop reporting on the forum? Isn't the purpose of a forum is for support and re-enforcement that it will get better? I hope there are still people living well with tinnitus still report on the forum.

Hey Ken!! Welcome!! Glad you joined us here on TT!

YES, there are many of us active here on TT who have habituated to one degree or another!! Myself being one of them !! For some people it is therapeutic to move on from TT once the habituate. Some leave then periodically come back. And others, like me and many others, stick around (maybe it's therapeutic for us!!).

So be encouraged and find encouragement here on TT! You will find great support and wonderful information here. You have a community here of people who "Get It"! Folks who are going through exactly what you are currently, and people who have survived and are living happy, productive lives. People who are happy to share their experiences with T, and ways they journeyed to habituation-land!!

So post often, don't be afraid to ask questions, and spend some time exploring many of the fabulous threads on this wonderful forum!

Best!

Jeff

Mine I was dealing with to a great degree that was until the balance came out of the blue 3 years ago ,but I believe it began 2 days after I visited an Osteopath for sinisitus treatment,totally fine until then,so I'd tell anyone to be aware of who you let treat you on your head area,for issues if you have tinnitus.My advise go to a Cranial therapist,hospital approved,as they know these Cranial Therapist as they send babies and young children to them.
