Collective Mass Suicide

What a brilliant idea ... i like it ...

 

Omg yeah!! I was layin in bed thinkin if there any movies regarding tinnitus... And they should so do one cause then everyone watching will be like oh wow thats terrible and cause more awareness!!!

 

What if they made a movie where the main character had tinnitus and the movie was shot from his/her perspective and during the whole movie you would hear the sound he/she heard. Trouble is, the audience would most likely leave before the end!

 

Lmao---- not funny but yeah a lil cause people dont understand what its like and if they heard that sound they would get right up and walk the hell out!!! Wish it was that easy for us...

 

Yes, i have simmilar idea. I wrote one book (postapocalyptic novell) and i will write shorter novel about man and his psycho problems, after T onset. I started with this before Christmas, but now i have not energy to continue, because i am switched to search job mode and depressed, because i dont find job yet :/ Anyway, very good idea.

 

Yes, and looks like Tartu is niece town with niece blondhaired girl

 

Yeah someone script it out and send it
In!!! You never know..

 

I just love that comment ... so very droll ...

 

Yo, @Per, I think you may consider replying to this thread since clearly many people are concerned about you, and that would be a nice way to relieve some of that concern.

 

Totally agree alibee!! What's up @Per???

 

By the way, even before I got T, I once was thinking about people taking their lives and other depressing stuff. I came up with an idea that whoever decides to commit suicide should go to a parachute training ground and sigh up for a jump. I guess, falling from 800 meters (that's the usual height for the first jump, if I'm not mistaken) is the best place and time to decide, whether you want to live or not.

 

That was actually a pitch for a docudrama I made in Sheridan documentary class four years ago. It didn't get the green light because, at the time, I didn't have any contacts in the medical field who would be willing to participate. Back then, before my T was an issue, I planned on putting the main character through a hell in order to amp up the drama. Now that it's actually happened, it's in no way dramatic, just terrifying.

 

Anyone heard from @Per ???? Kinda worried!

 

indeed, jeff...

 

I'll probably be in if it gets any worse.

 

I don't want to read this stuff.
I know it is bad but if you get to this stage, please see someone for help.

 

I think most people dont understand things they havent experienced. For example middle class people in Europe don't understand what it's like to be poor. Single people don't understand how hard it is to be a mother. People with legs don't understand what its like to be without them, etc. etc. etc. Human's ability to understand is mostly linked to their experience and therefore we can't expect others to understand that.
Having said that, when I read about tinnitus online the words describing it were "paralyzing", "agonizing", "debilitating". In the light of this I dont really see how others don't understand it, especially when considering how many scientists are working for it.

 

Thanks I thought I was past middle age..... here in Texas we climb bell towers with high power rifles to get the worlds attention, but I know that isn't the answer.... and T will definitely make you a stronger person, all I want to know is what will we all do when its silenced..?.. will we truly appreciate the gift or forget about the pain and move on to a new one... just a question I have for my self.. any insight..?

 

How old are you then? For me middle age starts with 45... anything under 40 is still pretty young Years of paying taxes ahead.
Honestly from my own opinion I think most people will forget having tinnitus quite fast and move on Of course depends on how much it has changed you... if it has cahnged a personsä' life in some way they will probably appreciate it better
Life is a sequence of problems anyway so it would be quite hard to forget pain i think. Nobody said it was supposed to be easy.

 

If this awful noise went away tomorrrow, i would never, never, never, ever forget what i'm going through right now!!! and i think the memory of it would stay with me for the rest of my life!!

 

I am 48, and just retired ... so I will pay some taxes but the system is designed to go after the wealth or working middle class...... but I agree in human nature two weeks after silence and we will forget, well I think I will always remember, the time I was so close to ending it all... it happens I guess to everyone and thank god the window closes fast....... where is Tartu..?

 

yeah forgetting is one of God's miracles, otherwisethere would be no humans. It is in Estonia ( a small country south of Finland and north of Latvia).

 

I knew this days was coming eventually, when it became too loud and intrusive to just ignore. I just never thought it would come this soon.

 

Oh, O.K... but ya... we seem to forget how lucky we really are.. maybe it helps get on with life after we grieve a death... all I know T was a wake up call for me...

 

This was his last post.
Hopefully he only decided staying away for a while.

 

Really hope this guy is ok has Mark or any of the admins any contact details to try and contact him with?Just a little concerned for this guy.

 

Aaron just wanted to say that your story is extremely inspiring ...wish you all the best
Stay Strong

There is an Indian movie on tinnitus called sound track ...it didn't do well and bombed in the box office .....people just didn't understand what was going on

 

I really wish there was more awareness too - not sure I'd off myself for it though.
But to be fair, look at it rationally from a non-sufferers perspective.

-T is non-fatal and 90% of "sufferers" are unaffected.
-Many diseases e.g. Cancer affect large amounts of the population, are potentially fatal and remain uncured

Now what's worth more fundraising/raising awareness, to your average Joe? Honestly I wish T got 1/100th of the attention and funds other conditions did, but shit happens.

 

I am concerned too and messaged him awhile back. Never heard anything.
