My tinnitus is awful tonight. It won't let either.

Usually if I play some of my favorite masking album it will break up the tones but not tonight. It just gradually got louder before I laid down. It was tolerable all day and now it's blasting away. I want to take something but my son still sleeps in the bed and its not safe.

I'm exhausted. Trying to remain calm. Tell myself it's just a bad night but this really makes me depressed.

My husband and son are asleep and I feel absolutely tortured. I tried showering and drinking magnesium to calm it and no dice. I hope I fall asleep soon otherwise it's going to be one crappy day.

Imagine showering at one in the morning.

Really need encouraging words right now. Thank you.
 
Bad nights come and go, been there, it is very likely go down again...I had one particular night where it was so loud I just could not imagine it going back down but it did gradually...your little one is gorgeous and I can tell you're an awesome mum x
 
@Candy thank you, I'm trying. Everyday is just a different kind of torture. I keep telling myself its just ringing, it sucks but I can see my way through it to the calmer days. @BuzzyBee it's okay today, not horrible but the not as low as I like it. I did eventually fall asleep around almost 3am but woke up at 5am and fell back asleep again. My son woke up at 10:30 ish and that signaled the end of sleep. I think my ears are still angry at me for driving with the windows down on our vacation for way too long.
