It hasn't even been all that long but I cannot see a positive end to this. Knowing that there's no cure, knowing that the only treatments out... -
Yup. Another Audiologist commented “if I had to sit there and test all frequencies we would be stuck there all day” The wording, especially the...

There's nothing wrong with venting, there's a lot of times I've wanted to cry out in this forum, but I decided not to because I was afraid people...

Thank you guys. This really is one of the saddest place on the internet with the nicest, kindest people around. I just feel so low. I know that...
-
I don't think I've ever been this depressed. Life seems absolutely meaningless. Nothing to wait for, nothing to enjoy, no hope whatsoever...
-
I agree!! Volume is everything!!
-
I think it's unacceptable and strange to say that the person always has a mental problem, and that mental problem is always before tinnitus. They...

@100Hz Some 100 years from now, the medical profession will admit how callous and barbaric was their treatment of those who were experiencing a...

@LindaS This is a really good post to describe the biggest problem with hyperacusis (how misunderstood it is by those who don't suffer from it)...

So he lost his partner and his career because of this condition and ended up suiciding? Poor guy. He was not weak. None of us who struggle with...

I don't want to suffer more, I don't want to have a risk of failing and getting in a more miserable situation than I'm already am. I don't want my...

You sound ignorant in that department. Killing yourself is in NO WAY easy. All methods you do yourself involve pain and suffering and the risk of...

Here is what I would like to hear from a GP or an ENT upon being diagnosed with Tinnitus, after they take you to a private room, along with your...

Hi @Johan001 @TheDanishGirl From someone who had breast cancer... the ENT should have his license taken away for saying that to a patient...
-
Sometimes I wish everyone in this thread could just meet up and do a gigantic group hug. I'm so sorry for all of you, nobody deserves this.
-
Wish I could enjoy several of these, but I can't due to floaters and other visual disturbances (which is worst in sunshine and looking at the...

This type of rhetoric is beyond frustrating indeed and it is just one more reason (as if we need any more), why severe tinnitus is quite possibly...
-
There's no habituation to something like severe hyperacusis. It impairs your life greatly. In ALL areas, whether you want it or not. Not something...

I'm losing this fight. There's no getting around it. I have nothing left. No friends, no love, no passion/interests... everything has been taken...

Hi @Christiaan, Thank you. I am from Holland indeed, currently in the UK because of the lockdown. Thank you for the update. I really hope there is...

I had a phone call appointment with an ENT today and mentioned I've been suicidal because of the severity of my tinnitus and all I was told was...

Hi all, Now I have to write in this section again. My 6 weeks journey has been with severe ups and downs so far. Mainly downs. Deep downs. As...

Suicide is an inevitable consequence in this modern world. We need to treat it similarly as an environmental killer rather than saying it is a...

Since my severe worsening, I’ve come to a realization. At least in my experience, the early days are full of anxiety. I would try to seek...

Intelligence insulting habituation clowns such as Julian Cowan Hill are part of the reason why nobody takes tinnitus sufferers seriously.

Why do doctors not keep up to date with research? It makes no sense. They are literally stuck in 2003 as research takes 17 years to translate...
-
I was told to go to a psychiatrist as well, but I really don't know how they could help me, because I'm not willing to take any medicine. In my...

I'm at the end of my rope. Life at home is horrible and I'm in no position to move out. I've lost so much because of these damn loud intrusive...

Still having a tough time. I'm unfortunately one of those people who needs a reason for things and I'll probably never get one for my tinnitus and...
-
You have my deepest condolences, as your story is very upsetting (just like so many other stories on here). Being permanently exhausted with no...
-
The problem is for a lot of us there is no “global” or “bigger” picture. Our mental distress is a direct result of the physical/biological damage...
-
I've had my fair share of mental issues before. The two years before getting tinnitus I was making pretty great improvements. Life started making...

They believe that I am going to live on my knees. Being a complete waste of space and time. They are crazy. I am in an enormous level of suffering...

I don't want a semi-life, I don't want a semi-me like @GlennS explains sometimes. I WANT my FULLY ME. My full myself, what I could have done...

@SpiralPath, life sometimes throws us curveballs. Just when we feel on top of the world, a crash can happen. I have had so many ups and downs in... -
SpiralPath replied to the thread When Anxiety Is Worse Than Mild Tinnitus Itself.@Mark F., Thanks for the kind words. I just hope you are right, and that there are better days ahead for all of us. This hope is truly all I have...

I’m so fucking sorry acute. 3 years ago when my tinnitus worsened considerably I had a breakdown and told my mom I just wanted to swallow all my...

lol I have had to spend two days locked in the hospital. They have forced me to say what they want to hear about tinnitus and suicide. Awful...

I'm so close to giving up. Literally everything hurts. This is so unjustified and unfair. Unbelievable. I am so heartbroken and powerless... I...

It's victim blaming essentially.

WTH - ALL people!? How did people like Hazell ever get taken seriously??? I really hope we'll see a bigger patient movement eventually that pushes...

I had such a good life until this shit stole it. I now sit on the suicidal thread and forums. This is such an unfair and horrific ending.
