What Feelings Do You Get When Your Tinnitus Bothers You?

If I'm tired, and it won't let me sleep, anxious and a little depressed. If I've had a good night's sleep, probably more annoyed. But to date, my Tinnitus is lower in the morning, and increases during the day ... especially around city noise ... so I'm sure their tied perceived volume as well.
 
I used to get suicidal a lot. I was so close to do it even my tinnitus was mild back then. Now, I have T(yesterday I was in shopping mall and I even heard it there, do the math) and I do nit feel suicidal much. I just get very pissed off and sad sometimes but that is it.
 
when T seems extra loud or bothersome I get busy doing something that I enjoy, go to the gym, talk to a friend on the phone and make plans to do something fun and usually it settles down and I go back into habituation where I dont here it at all. If im having a real bad day I pop a xanax but thats last resort...
 
scared, anxiety, fear of future, depressed, sad, mad, very pissed off, very very pissed off.
 
Anxious scared frustrated angry. Starting to accept it and it seems to quiet down but then it gets loud again and i wonder why. I have stopped doing a lot of things i used to do because I'm afraid it will make it worse.

As the saying goes, "cosi va'l mondo" - such is life.

We all have our crosses to bear. I take this as one of the trials and tribulations of life, and it's one that we can all overcome together and come out stronger for it. How we react is what is important.

-It can't be like this for the rest of my life
You won't.

-I want my old life back
Life is ever-changing - we never really get our old lives back. We just need to live in the here and now.

-Obsessed with any and all possible treatments. But constantly bracing for disappointment.
This is why I seek professional guidance; I obsess way too much and would spend hours online searching this. A T-specialist is helping me.

-Sad. Angry. Was suicidal. Depressed.
Ditto.

-Can't sleep.
I hope you can tonight bud. G'night.

-Anxiety.
 
I appreciate the sentiments. This forum is a literal life saver sometimes, let me tell you.

I'm working on the acceptance and reaction thing. I'm a month and a half in since T started. Since I started masking at night, I am sleeping better (my T is really loud, need both a fan and a sound machine on), so psychologically I've progressed since the hell of last month. Professional guidance hasn't helped much though. Doctors here very unempahetic and dismissive. Seeking help via naturopath.
 
Annoyed - because I cant control or ignore it - despite knowing it won't hurt me.
Exhausted - by the end of a bad day.
Sad - whats the point of Monster T !
 
- Why me
- Please just make it stop
- At least lower a bit
- I can't sleep :/
- Just relax and stop thinking about it
- Sometimes suicidal
