Is There a Phone Support Service for Tinnitus Sufferers?

Is there a phone support service for tinnitus sufferers?

 

The UK tinnitus organization BTA has phone helpline.

Helpline:
0800 018 0527 free of charge - from within the UK only
0114 250 9922 national rate within the UK
+44 (0)114 250 9922 outside the UK

Monday-Friday 9am - 5pm

 

I tried calling but it kept ringing

 

There's at least three members whose T and H increased after long phonecalls, bad idea ;-)

 

I am in Canada. Feel suicidal over t. Need help. Feel I have no control over anything in my life.

 

From the ATA's website:

If you are in a crisis situation: Or if you are thinking of harming yourself, please call 800-784-2433 or 800-273-8255.​

 

That's the same as 1-800-SUICIDE.

Those generic suicide hotlines don't know CRAP how to help tinnitus people...

 

@SeekIngAlpha ,
Sorry to hear your in a bad way with your tinnitus and the unwanted emotions are really hard for you.
The anxiety and stress can build up to a point we don't know how handle it and has no where to go.
Try to remain calm and lots of deep breaths coming from your stomach making it rise.
The tinnitus sound can be mental torture as it invades our lives and impact on all of the day not knowing what to do to get some peace.
Try keep sound on low around you and the tv even if you can only stand it on really low.
You need support and go to a safe place like AnE if your life is in danger .

The build up of emotions needs a escape route so try go for a walk,crying is a natural release and medication to calm you down will help.
Make sure your doctor knows how you feel and he can support you too and put in place talking therapy and medication or crisis support.
You are not going crazy it's just a lot to cope with .........lots of love glynis

 

I've been there and will likely be there again. go to a psychiatrist and Cognitive therapist , it took me a few to get the right ones but they helped a bit.

Canada has some suicide hotlines

Get off the T sites there are to many negatives when you are down. Do some cleaning , do the laundry.

Reading through some of your posts it seems you had your tinnitus go into remission through meditation. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/after-11-years-tinnitus-almost-gone.11326/#post-139836

While some of us aren't so lucky, for you it could well go into remission again. Have you tried repeating the same techniques that helped your tinnitus go into remission a year ago?
