Zora

that's sad to hear. Couldn't u do anything against it?

Did you get an audiometry or is just a personal opinion?

Just a personal opinion. I have to lean towards the person who is talking. like a granny. When someone is having a presentation I have to sit in the first row.

I had the same thoughts, but I went to the audiologist and I go the same audiometry results as 3 years ago. No change.

that really sucks... but you made thr right choice

Stay in and watch movies with friends! You don't need to be bored with T zora.

Hey :) yes,I really like your attitude towards having T :) I am doing good, yes. What about you?

Wooo glad to hear you're are doing good! It sounds like you're making progress :) Ye I think attitude is key, I just accept I have T and try not to let it change things too much for me - Don't get me wrong though, I still have my occasional moments like getting annoyed at motorcyclists as they roar past my ear haha

Also, T could be worse. At least it's not contagious making us all socially feared! I had to habituate quickly, as my depression was effecting my parents too. *Big Hug*

Don't blame on yourself. It never helps. Life happens, you were not consciously trying to get T. Stop giving emotional meaning to the T and anything related to it.

I can relate,I didn't cause my T but I partly blame myself for the utter mess I'm in now.I stare at myself in the mirror with utter disgust at myself,I hate myself.I feel I was given chances and I managed to fuck everyone up and now I deserve every bit of suffering I'm going through now.Its hard to accept it and K doubt I ever will:(

What's done is done and you can't reverse the past. I've beat myself up for the same stuff and it doesn't help.

thank you @bill 112 and thank you @John G ! do you have Derealization as well?

More like a spaced out feeling. Hard to concentrate. T and H. I know the ETD probably causes these symptoms.

Although I have never really read up about that derealization thing. I may have it also haha

@Zora <ine's quite mild and always has been. I've been playing soccer (football!) TOO.

@daniel1111 do you also play matches? how do you deal with the referees whistle?

@Zora yes I do, the whistle doesn't seem to be a problem for me. i just looked up the spl of those whistls and it seems like you'd need one going off right next to your ear for a full 30seconds+ to cause any damage. that just doesn't happen.

Be patient. Three months is very short time.

Woo hoo! Killin' it gurl!

Eating healthy and Excercise is great!

Okay, maybe a mood stabilizer would help?

Maybe..do you have experiences with some?

I recommend SSRI's. I use Paxil; amazing for my anxiety. They take 2-4 weeks to kick in though; you'll want something immediate in the meantime like Klonopin or a non-serotonin supplement like L-Theanine.

It's a good idea...and will help.

Yes, TT is very addictive. One has to keep the balance to get knowledge and support without becoming more obsessed about T.

@just1morething maaate! i dont understand what your saying? Are making fun of me again? Are you asking me to skype with you? Hah sorry but I really dont get it. I do speak english as I had English for 8 years in school, and spent 1 year abroad in Australia. SomI definitely speak good english but I still dont understand what you want from me :D

@Zora, I'm new to Skype and was just seeing who would try it with me that has T. I don't want anything from you Zora. I'm not making fun of you lol. Skype voice I meant.

Sure we can try it

Most likely, your T will soften after awhile and slowly ease it's way out of your life. It probably won't totally leave, so prepare for that. You're young enough to bounce back and see a treatment, so don't despair and think this is for life. As JimH commented, seek out an AD and don't give up! I know you don't have to much belief in God, but it might be time to start? Can't hurt. Stay cool!

Thank you @Sailboardman I hope so..what kind of treatment? Actually I have 0 belief. And I cant force it. I already tried. I will :) you too, thanks

There are so many researchers working on finding a treatment or cure, someone has to hit on one eventually.

Though I understand it could be hard to come to terms with something like that he might need a friendly and supportative (and lil' bit persistent but gentle) nudge perhaps? ;)

absolutely!! I will do that :D thank you

I wish you both the best of luck in this adventure <3

I think there's a lot of people here that qualify to that request,what's your problem?.

I think my T is not that bad. I mean its horrible, but in comparison to other people I think my T is mild and I should be happy. But my mind is on constant high alert. and I cannot calm my unconscious mind down. I tried meditating and craniosacral therapy. Nothing helps

what Im tryna say is my anxiety is really fkng strong. and thats what I cant calm down although atm I am laying in my warm bed, being totally relaxed but my subconscious mind is not! should I make a thread for that?

Yes I read it. Great for him, but didnt work for me. Did it work for you?

Not as a magic cure, but It is helpful to me if I keep doing it everytime I feel bothered.

Right but it's mormons that believe in eternal sexual relations and procreation. I thought that's what you were trying to reference.

So what religion are you then may I ask? I had a jk after my sentence.

Protestant Christian(Amillennial Calvinist-Baptist)

I dont want to take meds. it doesnt help longterm.

Yeah I didn't either, till it destroyed my health, and I had nothing left. And now I'm doing great with a drug that is safe and effective "longterm". Maybe taking pride in your ability to make it without them will become less important as you reach the end of your rope.
But hey, I hope you can get better without them.

Could be worse, you could have tinnitus and depression.:-) I haven't figured out a good coping method with tinnitus yet either and that is depressing.

You are not alone. We are all in this together.

opt for getting drunk and then find somebody to love! };-)

You'll find a different side of yourself. A more restful side that can chill on your own.

That will do it!
