Hey Holly! Always here for you girl. How are you?? I just had to go to the eye doctor yesterday as I was experiencing double vision...thought it was maybe because of the new medication, but he does not think so... suxz getting old...lol
New glasses.. but still I get the double vision. Just have to take breaks in between reading....How are you Holly??
Voting is kind of addictive, hitting the vote button is so satisfying. I feel like I'm actually doing something that might help.
I hope we can keep that spirit up and focus on other projects as a community after the competition! :)
And emojis! Plus, I want other reactions than just Like. If someone is having a crappy day and posts that as a status, I want to be able to Hug or something else supportive.
My mother was walking our terrier the other morning when another dog, maybe a bulldog/pit, attacked them. The leash twisted around her leg and tripped her. Winnie is fine b/c my mom intervened, but it cost her. Surgery Friday =/. Least walking Winnie in the morning will help me with my T a lil bit.
I wonder if there is a group of people in another forum getting each other to vote. They have made a dangerous enemy! TT folk want a cure.
Maybe I'm a bit of a killjoy but I hate April fools and rarely find pranks funny. 95% of the time I cringe when companies do something.
Everybody in my country must sort/recycle their waste/garbage, and all danish households got this small green bucket a little while ago, that is only for food waste. Yesterday a danish fashion magazine had an acrticle that stated that this bucket was the IT-item for spring/summer, and I actually feel for it!! And then I had a good laugh......the fashion world is crazy enough, so it could have been for real.
I like that this magazine had the balls to take piss on the very industry that they represent. It was quite humorous.
I often find it interesting that people who engage in behaviour we find abhorrent in real life often make for people we find captivating in fiction. Take Don, for example. He's a serial cheater who hides things from his loved ones. You wouldn't want to be with him in real life, bu in fiction, we find him a captivating protagonist.
Flawed people can be the most interesting, we realise with age. I think Don’s bad behaviour is meant to be a function of his inner turmoil as he’s also portrayed as kind/moral and remorseful.
I find it very sad seeing birds in cages. Just went to a work friends for dinner and they had a little sad parrot all alone in a tiny cage.
About 7 years ago, my employer wanted us to have a team day out at the local zoo. My team couldn't possibly understand that I didn't want to go to the animal prison. I absolutely hate zoos for this reason.
One of my old flatmates went to the same zoo on MDMA. He said he could feel the animals' sadness. Fuuuuuuck that.
On the way home from work I was wondering if I would sacrifice a limb to cure my tinnitus. I decided I would be willing to sacrifice one arm
I compare mine to what I’d like to lose the most...T, depression or obsessive compulsive disorder. Having the 3 just feed each other.
Was just woken up with a completely new tone in my right ear, after about 20 minutes it went away. All those old feelings of panic returned.
Possibly fleeting t...or an LED light bulb. I thought I had a new tone from an LED bulb last week. Glad it's gone!
It hasn't returned but when it happened I started sweating and shaking, I felt like physically getting up and running away from it. Tinnitus is such a tormentor, nothing scares me more tbh.
I agree. It's scary because it's so unknown. I'm hoping with time I'll learn what to expect and always be cautious in noisy surroundings.
Dieting is so hard, I peaked too early for my wedding and now I can't maintain my weight loss till July.
Are you on any drugs? Some can be killer for weight gain. My fast metabolism is gone since nortriptyline for pain
Holly you can do this! And I am sure you are a beautiful lady inside and out. :) I'd love to see your wedding pics.
Just made oatmeal with dates and golden syrup, quite delicious. Overnight oats are also fun but I prefer it hot I think.
In other news I just finished quite a good documentary about a man that lived peacefully with bears until unfortunately they eat him :(
Most definitely not. I've seen a lot of people say he was probably gay and in denial. I think that's a possible source for his displeasure with his place in human society.
Check out this video on YouTube called bear sits next to guy https://youtu.be/rbE53XUtVw0 . For what it's worth I'm a firm believer in letting nature be. They're called 'wild' animals for a reason.
Guys I legitimately just had my worst ear related experience since getting tinnitus, I just cried on the phone to my partner for 10 minutes.
@New Guy thanks for checking, everything is fine, no spike! I feel a bit embarrassed I was so hysterical tbh :( it really scared me. Never again!!
Does anyone else get a spike after exercising? Lifting weights/circuit training makes mine goes nuts afterwards. V frustrating..
I get very sore ears in cold weather. Damn I miss the days I had normal ears. I'm 50% mad 50% sad this is now my life :(
I don't get sore ears but wind noise is absolutely unbearable. It just sounds so damaging even if I'm just walking lol.
I wish I knew how much noise I can tolerate without my tinnitus getting worse so I can just get on with my life.
And I have had the some thought, that if I get to old age I will say fuck it and go to loud events all the time......even if T gets worse I will only have to endure it a shorter time period.
I feel you. I ventured out and decided to listen to music/sing a bit last night. It wasn't even for 30 minutes and my volume was at 3-4 bars, but my T was screaming after.... Can we not even enjoy life? :(
I wish voluntary euthanasia was easily accessible. It would bring me a lot of comfort to know there was a way out should it get unbearable.
Yup. The finality of the euthanasia option would work well for me in this instance. I can probably manage what I have now for the rest of my life, but a sudden surge to the hell that Bam or dpdx describes is more pain than I could live with.
Interesting... I’m glad you’re doing better :). Let’s hope neuromod releases their device sooner than expected!
My spike has gone away, back to baseline. It's crazy how even a slight increase can make it appear SO much louder.
It's only taken me 2 years to figure this out but stress related spikes (so far) always go away after approx 3 days.
To answer your question. I do believe that all God's promises are true and can be claimed by Christians; however they are all CONDITIONAL on how we are living our lives ( see Deut. 28). I hope this helps you understand!
I'm getting really into smoothies (earmuffs are a must for blenders btw) tonight I had dates, banana, almond milk, cacao powder and ice.
Is there anything more scary than those like 10 second random bursts where your tinnitus goes SUPER LOUD then goes back to baseline
I've seen a few people on this forum say their partner left them. It's pretty terrible. This condition is one of the worst things I could imagine.
I feel like if my girlfriend dumps me, I will need to meet someone on a tinnitus dating site. "I enjoy peaceful mornings, campfires, rain and fans. I also enjoy bi-modal stimulation and would like to have someone to share my time sitting still with a thing stuck to my tongue".
Didn't wash my hands in a crowded public toilet because the hand dryer was so fucking loud I had to get out of there.
You not down with the earmuffs outside life? I have decided I will wear earmuffs at in the street and public spaces except work for a while and see how I get on.
Great you found it on Spotify - just posted about that in the Episode 1 thread in the Podcast category here on TT.
The last two nights my tinnitus has been very mild, I would say a 50% reduction. Nothing has changed in my life or health...
Oh also I hope it doesn't sound like I'm minimizing mild tinnitus, it can be just as debilitating for some. I've just had it a while now so I am coping better.
I've noticed the t in my head gets louder before a quiet spell as well. I wonder why it works like that?
I find like 90% of all online Tinnitus articles to be terrible "although not life threatening tinnitus can be bothersome"
@SugarMagnolia - so true that there are "fates worse then death" - there are many illnesses and conditions, severe T with H included, where I would certaintly prefer death. Death is not something I am to scared of......suffering endlessly is!
Absolute nonsense. "Although not life threatening, tinnitus can ruin your ability to sleep and concentrate for life, akin to Chinese audio torture. In addition, it is a known cause for suicide".
