Dave from Boston

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to say Hi to all the wonderful people here on TT. I have been dealing with tinnitus for years now and it’s a roller coaster for me. Most of the time I can ignore the moderate ringing in my head, but during times of anxiety/stress it likes to really get my attention. Anyways I have been reading many good posts on here for weeks now since my T has ramped up. It can be hard sometimes, but I know I’m not alone.

 

@Davey126 Hi Davey welcome to TT you'll find there is amazing people here.
TT has been a true blessing for me....You'll find great support here

Stay Strong

Do you take anything to settle your Anxiety? Or do you just wing it? If you can control anxiety you'd be better off. I believe it is the root of making T worse? But that's my thought.

 

Hi @MBH yes I am on zoloft (daily) and Ativan (as needed). Also, I am seeing a cbt therapist. I had a very stressful event happen in February that made the tinnitus much louder. Before it was a mild tone that I can easily habituate to. Now it’s a loud high pitch tone. I have H too. I found that a good night sleep helps and to remain calm, but it can be tough at times. I feel like I’m starting to get back on track with my life now. The help here from TT has been amazing.
