Hi All! Tinnitus Friend Here.

Hi guys!

A week ago after a time of stress and anxiety all of a sudden I hear two whistling tones coupled with two slightly tones. Really loud and cant be masked. This past week has been absolutely terrible of course, im stressed out of my mind and really thought this will be the end of me.

After reading on this board I realize that i doesn't have to be this way. I will try as much as I can to not fight these new sounds in my head, I must make friends with them, no matter how hard it can be. Also to make sure I keep my mind occupied. Dont isolate myself, not self pity, try to just get on with my life. I have a rough time ahead, I know that, I have started taking Sertralin to help me keep my spirits up in the coming weeks as well as sleeping pills as sleep is key now in the beginning.

I keep telling myself that if I was born this way I wouldnt even think about it.

For the sake of my family and friends I will get through this. Thats the only way.
