    RIP Joe. I wish I could follow you. I am also very suicidal. I try to stay alive every day for another day. But my tinnitus is so catastrophic, it is unbearable for me. I am close to considering assisted suicide. It is pure hell every day, every night.

    It's an assisted suicide place in Switzerland. Anyone can go from around the world, however, so it's available to anyone who can travel there. If you live in Switzerland, the assisted suicide takes place at your home. If you're from abroad, you travel to their flat/facility.

    I am sorry to learn that you feel that way but the research shows what it shows. Without wanting to trivialize what you feel, thinking about suicide is much more common that committing suicide (thank goodness). Your emotional state may suggest you should discuss this further with your doctor.

    Suicidal Tinnitus — Fact or Fiction?

    Human beings are such that suicidal ideation is not uncommon. Committing one is. The brain must be messed up for a person to commit suicide, meaning a person has to have major depression... Nobody commits suicide only because of tinnitus.
