I was reading multiple suicide and euthanasia topics here last night, it doesn't look like suicide is a taboo here?

Plenty of people suffer from tinnitus but don't even consider suicide. Having them talk with a professional or someone else that tried to commit suicide can help them mentally deal with the noise. Everyone's ability to deal with the condition is different.

Daily Mail has published a great article on two patients living with hyperacusis, one in Canada and one in the United States. It describes how sounds are overwhelmingly loud for hyperacusis sufferers, causing ice pick or burning pain, and suggests a few mechanisms/underlying causes. It also...

T is at suicide levels after sugar binging 3 days ago :(

I'm trying dude.

Suicide is the cheap way out, sad anyone thinks that suicide cures it all. It doesn't but it does cause families to suffer. Speaking from experience to the loss of a son.

Wait a minute -- suicide was your solution to his tinnitus? Well that's ironic since some people consider suicide "giving up" . . .

The tinnitus population yes...TT is not the tinnitus population.

I'm ready to exhaust all options. Please help.

There are medical journals about people who commit suicide because of horrifying health problems, the journals still suggest "psychological flexibility" as a way to prevent suicide. LMAO

I strongly encourage anyone to try this before writing themselves off. Like many of you, I’ve looked into it, and the surgery itself seems not only low-risk but also entirely reversible if more effective procedures come along in the future. I understand the challenging part is gathering the...

I still fine it very ironic that whites had far higher average suicide rates than slaves, for whom suicide was very rare. And if you doubt this was true, there are numerous sources that will verify it, including an extensive, 170 page thesis, AFRICAN AMERICAN SUFFERING AND SUICIDE UNDER SLAVERY...

I would especially as it seems one side may impact tinnitus on all sides. I could live much better and happier with one natural ear with no tinnitus than two with an endless screech.

Why? Your April postings seem very optimistic...

...bright memory. But I would like to speak out. In fact, I am against such topics, and against such a wide "savoring" on Tinnitus Talk of suicide cases. Yes, people leave, people commit suicide, because what more respectful reason to commit suicide than tinnitus, you can come up with on...

...hyperacusis is mild or moderate, sound therapy and counseling can help greatly to continue with life. The vocal few who are on the verge of suicide from it all can't see the forest for the trees. That's why there are nutcases like @Travis Henry who scream from the rooftops "no sound therapy...

Tinnitus is just a symptom and we can't die from it. So, it's not important for others. The only solutions are waiting for treatments or committing suicide. And if you commit suicide, it's your problem, not the doctor's.

...than that there is no way to know whether people disappearing from the forum are just taking a break, move on, or actually went through with suicide. I don't know whether it would be beneficial for members if we actually knew when someone killed themself, which is the sad reality when someone...

That could be true. It is a historical fact that the suicide rate of slaves was so low as to be virtually non-existent. We voted in our best interests. Due to the inflation caused by the Biden and Harris administrations, a significant number of Americans are going hungry because they cannot...

I believe that unless a suicide note is found, suicide can not be declared as the cause of death, even if it is the most likely cause.

I have typewriter tinnitus too. I did surgery and it didn’t help me. It’s even worse after! It’s so unbearable that I consider assisted suicide. I cannot live with it.

@Allan1967 committed suicide. In Loving Memory of Allan1967

Give your father time, suicide is usually the response one has immediately after discovering that T is permanent. In a few years he will have habituated and the thoughts of suicide will reduce. Suicide sounds easy enough on paper, but it takes a lot more to actually see it come to fruition.

That I have already shared... right here, in fact: www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/why-you-shouldnt-be-afraid-of-suicide-stories.23862/#post-275711 Contrary to the myths that sometimes get circulated on tinnitus boards, suicide is actually higher among those with tinnitus (particularly those with...

Very smart, Jerad: A lady on this Forum said, "I'm not committing suicide; tinnitus is slowly killing me, like any other terminal illness."

I agree. Simple information regarding the expected FDA submission date would be helpful. We would not expect them to speculate on when the FDA approval would take place. They could also set expectations on how long it might take to start seeing the device at the audiologist after the approval...

Things wrong with this article: Title is "10% of women who suffer constant ringing in their ears attempt suicide, study suggests". The second bullet after the title says that in the study there was 900 women with severe tinnitus and 10% reported attempted suicide. This author needs to go back...

I was thinking about that this morning, even before I read your post and I agree. The thought of being disabled after a failed suicide attempt and still having this tinnitus is beyond horrifying.

The only sure bet to stop T is suicide. Not assisted i can do it myself. Before suicide i will try some more things more meds & surgeries . But if all fail for sure i will suicide because with T & H i die every day.

...and also I had a bad cold and there began my severe tinnitus journey. Within a couple of weeks my tinnitus ramped up to what I call "suicide levels". It was absolute torture, even for Tinnitus Talk I think I'd been a very bad case. I also acquired very severe hyperacusis. I soon found myself...

Yes! My tinnitus got worse from the COVID-19 vaccine. Ten months later and it’s still at suicide levels.

Well, you can get some indication of that via this post (which shares the links to the Korean study on tinnitus related-suicide): www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/why-you-shouldnt-be-afraid-of-suicide-stories.23862/#post-275711

...Especially in the beginning. I've had tinnitus for decades, so that fear that it will always be with me at very loud levels and could lead to suicide has resided. It has not disappeared, but it is almost never present. If it hasn't happened after all this time, I can let go of it. It goes...

Suicide is never the answer, but it makes it so there is no longer anything that needs to be answered which is honestly better than all the answers in the world.

...https://journals.lww.com/thehearingjournal/Fulltext/2016/07000/Suicidal_Ideation_Among_Patients_with_Chronic.6.aspx In particular, see Suicide Ideation rates in US :) - over 50 years old: 2.7% - adults: 3.9% - tinnitus sufferers: 16% Wouldn't you say that a jump from 2-3% to 16% in suicide...

I suspect (i'm not really sure), that people with T that commit suicide, is mostly related with the effect of drugs like benzos. Actually, the moments when I was contemplating if life was going to be worth it if I had tinnitus were BEFORE I started getting help with therapy and medications...

Not sure where you are located so here is a list of international suicide hotlines: http://www.suicide.org/international-suicide-hotlines.html

That was not very friendly.

I'm serious. I am planning on collecting suicide reports of tinnitus sufferers. There's several people here who preach habituation, mock people who are suffering with severe tinnitus and bash people who make a distinction between mild/moderate and severe tinnitus. But, those people don't seem...

...compassionate use for these treatments. It takes wayyyy too long for these things to become widely available. A lot of us are on the brink of suicide and don't have the willpower to wait for a wide release because they've already been waiting for years or even decades. It's ridiculous that...

Anti Suicide people are like zealots that don't understand our suffering. Recognition of volition shatters the mechanistic materialistic world view. Denial of it puts me in a scenario where I have no control and my suicide was determined by the cosmos.

Benzos can be a bitch to get off from. Are you seeing a psychiatrist? If not, I would recommend you find a good one that can advise on how to taper properly to minimize the withdrawal effects. He might temporarily switch you to an AD while tapering the benzo.

Yes, anxiety, OCD, tinnitus, and benzodiazepine withdrawal—I’m facing the fight of my life. I’ve seen others here, far more well-adjusted than me, struggle to get through it, which makes me terrified. I have so many tones. :/ Praying for you.

Google catch the bus suicide. Catch the bus is a phrase meaning committing suicide. Widely used on the internet these days.

From sane.org (5 myths about suicide): Suicide is a big issue. While it only accounts for a small percentage of deaths (around 1.9%), more people lose their lives to suicide than to road accidents, industrial accidents, and homicides combined. Around 2800 Australians take their own life each...

Hi @Bam, I hope you're doing better today. -- I wrote a fairly lengthy post on another forum a couple years ago touching on suicide. Here's a link if you'd be interested in checking it out. -- Thoughts on Suicide — A Dream Experience

While tinnitus can break you down, both mentally and physically to the point where suicide starts to become a viable solution, the idea that it could drive someone to commit domestic homicide seems pretty far-fetched, however. I sense there might be more to this story than we're being led to...

1 day closer to inevitable suicide. I wish I could engage in my hobbies to distract myself but I just can't anymore. My illness took all of my hobbies and all of my life away. I've really stopped caring about anything and I'm just not going to guilt myself into not committing suicide anymore.

...still hanging in there! What kind of weird/painful symptoms are you having? Hyperacusis can cause all kinds of weird symptoms, as I'm sure many of us here can attest to! Are you thinking of going to the ER because of the symptoms or because you're feeling on the brink of suicide? Sending hugs!

We should meet to make the suicide plan together. It’s pathetic but surely we will reach better conclusions together. Personally, I would make sure everyone knew my suicide was because of Tinnitus. Nothing more nothing less.

...as a weapon to try and invalidate the hardships and suffering of others while calling them 'crybabies'. Say that to families and friends of suicide victims who had this kind of manipulative guilt-shaming rubbish repeated to them. Don't forget to record yourself for our entertainment. I would...

What? Who in this thread did that. @Mathieulh wrote their a VERY BAD choice for suicide.

@gameover, I feel the exact same way. I never thought much about death or suicide pre-tinnitus. I felt like life was pretty good. But now, I'm constantly thinking about what could possibly kill me sooner or what can I do less of today to reduce my chances of living longer... because now I have a...

Because men are evil now and don't deserve sympathy. Especially white, heterosexual, cis gender, middle class, tax paying, two armed, horn honking, hair combed men.
