      The way I see it, this is like saying that that you shoot yourself in the head in moderation. The fact that you are doing it means that you are not safe.

      Wouldn't you say that your exposure is similar to that of the people I quoted in the first post on
      https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/learn-from-others-mistakes.29437/

      In any case, of course not everyone regrets taking this risk, and if you do it in moderation you reduce the probability. But given how horrible T is, the risk you are taking seems mind numbingly high (and not comparable to your reward for exposing yourself to such a risk).

      To those of you who gave me encouraging and comforting words, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! <3

      To those of you who took this thread as an opportunity to give me advice I've heard thousands of times before (I've been at this almost five years guys, come on) and/or to toot your own horn (you know EXACTLY who you are) then shame on you.

      @derpytia for some reason I have always been drawn to your posts and words. There is something special about you and even though people may not always reply - your words do something to make their lives better.

      Thank you for being you.....

      HUG. I am so so so sorry to hear you are suffering so much. Are you on any kind of medications or supplements for depression? If so, what are they or what have you tried? I'm just curious because I was wondering if something could help you. :(
