I hope it gets better for you brother.

@PennyCat dont beat yourself up. It is nearly impossibke NOT to fixate upon it. Continue to stay busy whenever possible and keep a reasonable masking noise handy. Hopefully youll see real habituation in the near future.

My unofficial opinion with the clonazepam is to try and take it closer to bed time and not if your already deep into an anxiety attack. Benzos are a great last resort and you can really minimize side effects if taken sparingly. For what it's worth meditation (Mostly controlled breathing) helped...

Cheers!

Sorry your struggling so much at the moment PennyCat. Wish I could do more then just pray for you. I do hope the terrible spike your going though calms soon.

Find an outlet asap. Do something. Anything to distract yourself from obsessing. Otherwise you will only continue to spiral. Try meditation and light masking before sleep. And when you wake get moving immediately. Clean. Walk. Watch cat videos on YouTube. Anything but sitting with destructive...

Wash Rinse Repeat It's how it goes with this condition. You will manage as before I believe. It can certainly be soul crushing when you feel like your starting from scratch agian. But generally you will manage. And even though it seems rough now. It doesn't usually take as long as the first...

T is extremely efficient at checking it. Glad you had some good days tho.

It certainly is.

@kingsfan I feel like I've been lucky so far that my t has mostly stayed constant. Even though it's insanely loud I cope pretty well overall. I know I'm playing with fire doing some of these activities but I'd rather take some risk then fold completely.

Trying keep you on your toes I guess. Stupid azz T!

@DamagedJoe @kingsfan Maybe my fatty liver will take me out. Lol. In the mean time I'll just sit on the side of my bed with that numb stalled out brain feeling...

My denomination uses the Organ and I cannot stand the sound of it. Needless to say I have become mostly inactive this past year.

God forbid we live a little. Hope it settles quick.

Feeling this today as well. Some of these spikes are certainly intense enough to break through past resolve. I pray we find the physical and emotional energy to fight on. You are not alone friend. We deserve peace

Possibly. Although I had my generalized anxiety and depression nearly completely under control before tinnitus onset. Ever since few of those methods work anymore.

T just can't let you have a Lil fun. I'm having new tires put on the motorcycle Tuesday and wr will see what a bad idea that is. Haha. The weather is nicer and I hate having the bike rot away in a corner of the garage.

Definitely "Raaaaaaaaaagh". I never know how to congratulate someone on these big occasions. So lest just go with FUCK TINNITUS! But seriously. Hope your coping reasonably well. Big Hugs!

I always wonder how musicians such as Ozzy Osbourne, Eric Clapton, Chris Martin, Neil Young, Phil Collins and I'm sure a few others continue to have successful careers in the industry while also dealing with this condition. At what point do you start not giving a f**k?

Gotta find yourself an introvert. Girl who likes to read. Lol

@Tryn2BHopeful I love that for you. I live for my kids! They a great motivator to fight on.

@MindOverMatter @Tryn2BHopeful Thank you for your hopeful comments. Not having a lick of silence since 2020 has been hell. At times I'll feel like I've got this condition managed nicely and then one of these awful spikes can leave you wanting to just throw in the towel. Something has to give. I...

Sorry to hear your spiking. I believe it will settle. If I may? What kind of factory do you work in?

"You Just Do".. I couldn't say it better myself. God knows how we can manage to keep it together with tinnitus that makes onset look laughable. I can only attribute this to time served.. hope your day finds you distracted in more pleasurable activities. :)

Sorry to hear your still homebound my friend. But glad to hear you have gotten a break from the pain. Small improvements are better then none I suppose. Be well.

It's crazy... I don't think I would have made it long in this life if I had it this severe early on. But who knows.

I hope that's the case. Even lower then base line would be great. Lol.

Curious how you gauge it as less intrusive even though it has worsened? When my T worsened and became unmaskable it became incredibly intrusive yet I became subjectively less emotionally reactive.

Long time no see. Hope that mean good things on your end.
