How Can You Change the Mindset on Good Days?

Hello, dear users.

After 4 months in I've got three (!) good days on this week. Today it's so soft, I thought in the morning it was gone.

My question is: even on good days I'm still worrying about the future, about tomorrow.

"Will it be loud again?" "Or am I lucky and it's fading?"

All these questions make good days to moderate days. Are there some tricks to not mind-wander?

 

You have to give the healing process time. You are only 4 months in and you're asking too much of yourself and your brain to adjust to tinnitus so quickly. Click on my "started threads" and read my article: Tinnitus, A Personal View. There are other posts in the list that will help you understand more about tinnitus and the habituation process. It cannot be rushed, just take each day at a time and count yourself "lucky" that you are having good days as things could be a lot worse!

you're fucking right, Michael.. i am lucky!

thanks for the response, i will read it.

 

I realize English is not your first language but please do not "swear"as it's not necessary. Another thing, I advise you not to use headphones even at low volume.

I'm sorry for that. Yes, since T onset i had never used headphones again.

 

Haha I loled at you using the F word and refering to Michael.

Good to hear that you had some better days. Let's hope that it is your recovery (I think it is). Did it just happen out of nowhere or is it getting gradually better by the month?

 

He was not referring to me specifically @Applejuice when he used the F word. He is not English and doesn't realize it is only people of a certain "class" use profanity. Anyone that has been brought up correctly and has good manners and respect, would never use such language especially in writing. Whilst I applaud @Aschenherz in wanting to write and speak English, I also want him to understand, people judge us by the language we use which says a lot about a person's character.

Well yeah with referring I meant quoting/talking to. I'm not a native speaker myself (which you probably already noticed). But seeing him swearing while quoting you makes me smile because of your inevitable reply, which you delivered eventually.

Got to enjoy the little things in life right?

 

Hey visit my thread I just posted. It works for worrying thoughts. Help you control the thoughts and not let the mind wander https://www.tinnitustalk.com/thread...th-anxiety-tinnitus-associated-anxiety.22257/

 

You write very good English @Applejuice and I thought you were a native speaker. Whilst I enjoy a joke and a laugh when it's in good taste, it does not include the use of bad language which I abhor. I am not a prude, I just don't use bad language during verbal conversation or write it or seeing someone else writing it.

I don't know what caused it. It changes Day by Day. When i have these good days i can do whatever i want and T doesn't bother me at all. When i have bad days it's good to do lot of things on this day.

Also it's totally random, when it happend. This week it was on Monday, Friday and Sunday. And i'm so glad, that i have 3 mild Days this week. I know that this is rarely and i should consider myself lucky. As i read my first post again and the answer of michael it seems, that i blame the 3 days and want have the whole week or something else.

Honestly, Applejuice, it was getting better, as i did not visit the forum every day. I'm thankful for these people here but when u read here, the focus is on the T. Your T. Their T. It's consuming.

 

Aschenherz,

This forum helped me a lot when I was in a pretty bad mood last year. Thanks a lot to the members, specially to senior members for posting some encouraging posts when they see new sufferers are struggling with daily life. That being said, I decided to stay away from this forum once I had read enough. I am pretty sure that decision played a major role in my recovery.

BTW, judging by the behavior of your tinnitus, it will most probably fade away as time goes by.
