    Find an outlet asap. Do something. Anything to distract yourself from obsessing. Otherwise you will only continue to spiral. Try meditation and light masking before sleep. And when you wake get moving immediately. Clean. Walk. Watch cat videos on YouTube. Anything but sitting with destructive...

    Chronic Tinnitus After Eardrum Perforation and Tympanoplasty

    Even though my tinnitus did not develop under the same circumstances, I can deeply sympathize with your feeling of joy being drained.

    Amusement Parks are hazardous. Even with ear plugs I'm probably gonna pay for today's festivities. Just wanna live a little before I die.

    Setback After Progress: Struggling with Sleep and Louder Tinnitus

    Success is understanding that there will be days that completely overwhelm you. This is the irony of living with a chronic condition. Spikes are extremely common and can certainly take a toll. Be patient. You are making progress. Spikes are simply a part of that journey forward.
