Broken life because of T and H ???
Seems to be a good job, especially for those who got T !
And do you enjoy your work ?
- two edged sword. There is of course a lot of pressure. My T reminds me now that there are also other things in life I have maybe forgotten. When there is stress and the T spikes I stand up and go for a walk (if possible of course) so its like my stresslevel meter. Do I like my T for that functionality? hell no! Dont want to sound ungrateful.
This is good for you !
In my current office, there is not a lot of noise, unless my colleague opens the window wide open and there is the traffic jam... And damn motorbikes and other trucks with very high-pitched brakes !
So Tinnitus didn't affect your professionnal life ?
Well I have no choice. If I dont work I become a homeless man with T. Yes I'm pretty sure it was noise induced. Years of playing in bands and seeing live musicThis is very good if you can enjoy your work !
Do you know how you got T ?
Same here bro, I reduced my work hours by about 30%, I make less money but it's worth it for me. Still no fun ;(
It is very stressful, or at least it definitely was. I've been phoning it in, like I said, basically showing up and going through the motions. The job seems meaningless to me at the moment.Hello !
Your work seems very stressful... :-/
Sorry that you got T...
Regarding your job, do you manage it well or would you like to change ?
And do you have relaxation methods ?
That's terrible that you are worrying about your relationship and feel like a poor partner! My goodness, you sound like you are being very hard on yourself, you are only two months into the tinnitus and it's a big shock when it hits. You have my sympathies with regard to work as well - I think work stress due to competing with bastards may have been a factor in mine too.
I'm not a guy, but I am empathic especially to nice folk who just got T themselves and already post to help others. For me the first few months were just shock and self focus. Tinnitus can be very difficult for others to understand. It seems to be one of these odd conditions where reactions between individuals vary wildly maybe partly based on intrinsic sound sensitivity. My partner has had tinnitus himself since he was very young, so could not understand why it hit me so hard. But I think now he has just accepted it as a quirk of me and is being quite supportive- he says well you were always very sound sensitive and I was not. Statistics show that husbands are six times more likely to leave their wives when illness hits than vice versa, but I rather get the impression that things are bit different when the couple is younger. Sometimes young women are judgy yes, but often I think it's that young men can be quite hard on themselves for not being the "strong man" they perceive their girlfriend needs, when actually their partner doesn't need someone perfect with no weaknesses. Maybe your partner just needs time to get her head round what's happened and to understand how hard tinnitus can be. Some people show their partners online info on tinnitus. On the other hand sometimes illness shows up folk lacking in empathy.
