Well on the “bright side” I’m no longer freaking out about my normal T because my PT is back/acting up and now I have to deal with that and look into whether I have another stenosis that needs surgery. I want to die.- PennyCat

I keep thinking I'm hearing some faint whooshing from my PT again (which I had 2 surgeries for), and my right ear feels full. I can't tell if it's actually happening or if it's because I'm so hyper aware of all sounds and sensations. It seems unlikely it would randomly get worse at the exact...- PennyCat

@BrOKeN_1 Thank you. I’m trying my best. I’ve seen improvement with my dysacusis before and I think the anxiety stirred it up, so that’s my biggest barrier right now. My therapist thinks I need more intensive help right now. I’m probably going to be seeing an OCD specialist. My OCD about my T is...- PennyCat

I should’ve clarified I believe this is a spike 100% caused by anxiety. There was no noise exposure. I started fixating on my T again, and the longer I’ve stayed fixated the worse the T has gotten- PennyCat

Can spikes last a month (or more) and eventually subside? I think I’m seeing slight improvement as my anxiety slowly comes down, but I don’t want to jinx it. Hopefully it will continue to improve.- PennyCat

I genuinely don’t know what to do anymore. I reached habituation and then the rug was pulled from under my feet and now I’m worse off than I’ve ever been. I keep getting new tones because my nervous system is shot. I can’t calm down, can’t stop obsessing, researching, crying.- PennyCat

I didn’t stay away very long. I don’t know how to get through this. The distortions are driving me crazy. Clonazepam made it temporarily louder. Vomiting daily. Crying all the time. I’m so scared- PennyCat

@BrOKeN_1 Thanks for the insight, I really appreciate it. I haven’t been able to pick it up yet because my pharmacy and their warehouse are apparently out of stock, so I have to try to find a different pharmacy that has it and then wait for my psychiatrist to send in a prescription there. The...- PennyCat

I’m going to try to stay off of here for a little while. I know anxiety is not the cause of my tinnitus but it sure as hell is making it sound 10x worse right now. I need to stop fixating and calm my nervous system down because I’m in a really bad place. I’ll check back in at some point...- PennyCat

Along with the gabapentin, I got prescribed clonazepam today. I’m scared due to risks of both, however they are only for me to take as needed when my anxiety is severe, not consistently/daily. So I think I’ll be okay. Don’t comment anything suggesting otherwise lol, thanks- PennyCat

@DimLeb It’s not ‘just’ anxiety. It’s so severe and debilitating, I can’t stop vomiting multiple times a day and crying all day. Nothing is helping. If I don’t have the support of medication I don’t think I’ll be here much longer- PennyCat
