    Habituate Me!

    I appreciate your time and thoughts on this. I guess the problem for me is the escalation of the T through the day on bad days. I can feel ok with the quiet morning but for whatever reason by late afternoon it's so much louder. Is it my interpretation or does the volume actually go from 20db to...

    Habituate Me!

    Thanks music, My T gets so loud I don't know how to react. I try and accept it and keep moving but it builds intensity to where I reach for any meds that keeps my sanity. It's not an answer but hopefully the anti depressant meds will allow me to be strong enough to get stabilized so that I can...

    @Kathi Thank you for your help. You are an inspiration as well as so many here. I'm trying. I Have a shrink and a therapist and with anxiety exercises and anti depressants I am moving in the right direction. You are a blessing.

    @BobDigi Thanks Bob. That's great advise. I still struggle with using making. I'm hating wearing earbuds for white noise and crickets so I'm looking at streaming healing aids. Do you mask at times or just go with it? Sometimes my T cycles and when it starts up again I panic for my earbuds.

    Habituate Me!

    Come on all you habituators! I've read the success stories, which is great and many on TT point to TRT or CBT as the way to go, but somebody has had to have an experience in this they can detail a little for us. Shouldn't there be some kind of outline we can all look to put together by TT peeps...

    @RaZaH Keeping busy is harder to do being semi retired but your right. Whenever I am busy my mind drifts away from T. How do you do music? When I work on my material my T revolts after an hour, even at low volume. Grrrrr

    Habituate Me!

    any ideas on how to actually get habituated are appreciated. Is there a process that helps when T is screaming and sucking the energy and happiness you used to know? people talk of CBT and TRT but never discuss parts of the process other than live your life and make your life what you want it...
