@PortugalTheMan My case has been slowly deteriorating over the last months, and I'm listening to this symphony on maximum volume 24/7. Sometimes it's very intrusive, but I've mostly habituated and usually don't take any meds. Sometimes I use melatonin, and very scarcely I use Hydroxyzine to sleep, but most often than not, I'm able to sleep without either of them.
Eventually you will sort of get sick of crying and you will become more numb to the T annoying you. I think you don't have to see this numbing as being bad because it allows you to think about other things and make more progress from there. I use melatonin 3mg sublingual pills often & sometimes plant based pills that contain valerian. You can also try some tea for sleeping in the evening. I recommend atl 2h b4 bed.
I don't want to go off-topic, but I admire your strength @Stacken77 It takes a lot of mental gymnastics & resilience to remain that chill, and that says a lot about your character. Thanks for sharing your story!
Well, in my case, it took quit some time until I was out of the mental anguish phase. I think it started to change when I combined a holistic approach by using supplements like probiotics (which seems to work well for mood according to science), healthy diet, exercise (daily on the rowing machine for example) and just do stuff to keep your mind of your T
like several meet ups with friends during the week, a walk in the park, and watching shows (especially comedy!). Those things really helped in my situation. You can always try some of those things and see if it works for you
