What about someone like me who not only has Tinnitus, but over 30+ other symptoms, including a tremor inside my body that feels as if every single cell (and we have billions of them) is vibrating constantly like you've had a billion electric toothbrushes implanted into your body?. It invades your every waking moment, and if you do manage to get to sleep, the only time you don't feel it, you get woken up again not long after by what feels like someone shaking the bed and screaming into both ears at once.
Doctors look at me gone out, get it wrong, like 'you say it feels as if your head is buzzing' or 'does it feel like palpitations?' no my duck, it does not, and by the umpteenth attempt at explaining it, you manage to get referred on to the relevant departments but then get told the waiting time is two and a half months, when you're already at the point where another two and a half hours is inconceivable.
I know I can't manage much more of this, no amount of talking about it, waiting six months for 'therapy' or positive thinking will stop this will it. If most medics responses to it are anything to go by, I'd just get a very perplexed look from someone used to people with depression or OCD, not a severe, persisting, worsening physical illness.
There's also the very real possibility for me that this is progressive, and will only get worse.
I bet I could counter any argument suggesting that a life like mine is worth living.
