    Hey! I don't know if it helps but I'm struggling these days too. I'm just moving forward. I make step and then another step and then repeat. It looks pointless and like a waste, but that's all I can right now. I just hope it's not pointless.

    Hey! You perfectly describe the feeling I have. When you can continue your life but it's colorless and joyless. I think I'm not cut out for that too. This is just against all my live principles. It feels like some highly intelligent creature created this condition with all it's sadism and...

    Bilateral Tinnitus After a Single Band Rehearsal without Hearing Protection

    @DamagedJoe, I completely understand you. This text is similar to what I could have written myself. Today, I reread my diary and came to the conclusion that I have made almost no progress in a month. I am still at rock bottom. But in your text, I see exactly the same emotions that I am feeling...

    When Anxiety Is Worse Than Mild Tinnitus Itself

    Hey @Mark F., Thank you so much for the response. It really means a lot to me because I feel so lost right now. I am worried because I feel like tinnitus will eventually win. It may only get worse over time, and my quality of life might keep declining. It hurts more and more to watch myself...

    Bilateral Tinnitus After a Single Band Rehearsal without Hearing Protection

    Hey! I read your story, and I think your emotional response to the onset of tinnitus is very similar to mine. Unfortunately, I am in the same trap you are in right now, so I cannot help myself or you. I wish I could. But at the very least, both you and I know that there are people out there who...

    When Anxiety Is Worse Than Mild Tinnitus Itself

    Trigger warning: depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and emotional distress. Hey. This is going to be a long and sad story, so maybe grab some tea and snacks. Apologies in advance for any grammatical mistakes. I'm a 31-year-old man, and life has rarely been pleasant for me. Since the age...
