    Tinnitus Week 2024: What Should Your Neighbor Know About Tinnitus?

    @UKBloke, during my three years with tinnitus and depression, I will be very honest: I wanted to leave this world. You mentioned the suicides. It makes us all so sad. Many of us have been there or are there now. This is real. The problem is that if you do not have tinnitus, you do not know what...

    Suicidal

    I thought about suicide every day for 15 years. The reason I didn't do it was because logically it made no sense. If I killed myself because of my severe tinnitus, I would not gain any moment of, "Wow, am I glad that's over." Killing myself would not have given me any relief that I could...

    Can Tinnitus ACTUALLY Drive You CRAZY?

    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.

    ...and tribulations. The suffering caused by tinnitus and hyperacusis is just too much. It's a wait for something to happen. Either things will get better or worse. The status quo won't last forever. What will break the camel's back? Suicide is the saddest way to to end one's life. Nothing sadder.

    Why Is There No Cure for Tinnitus?

    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.

    What Would Be Your Last Treatment Experiment Before Suicide?

    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.

    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.
