      Hi all!

      I'm curious to know if anyone else is like this, but ever since I "got" tinnitus, I'm turning into a bit of a hypochondriac. I always think that I have something (and when I do I feel like it's the worst possible thing) , and now, I feel like everything wrong with me is going to be permanent now?

      For example, I have some sort of eye infection right now and in the back of my mind I'm just thinking, "Is this gonna be forever too!?!?!"

      Has anyone else's thoughts changed like this?

      Hello Alyssalee

      Yep its called OCD I live with it every day, everything is always the " Worse case " and I'm unlucky enough to have it. I totally understand how you feel.

      But the good news is that it will fade over time, as you realize that these things are not as bad as they seem to be.


      Good Luck
