I tell people on here it's all about keeping calm and looking past the tinnitus. It's harder done than said.
Example: I've been doing great, actually started the habituation process. That doesn't mean you won't have bad days. I'm having one today. It will make you feel that all the progress you've made is gone. I felt like crying today. Just emotions coming up.
But I'll be darned if i'm going to let T rule my life. Tomorrow is a new day. I read where these people have had T for years and constantly struggle. No disrespect...but I'm not going to be one. I will keep fighting until it doesn't bother me anymore.
It can be done, millions of people do it. Days like these will make you doubt yourself. But I reached out and shared with a couple friends that suffer and it was great. I habituated for 20 yrs until a change of my SSRI brought on my T at a new level.
It can be done, but you have to dig deep and challenge yourself. Being scared of what you eat, drink, take etc... is worse than the T. Keep walking forward, even when you have a bad day.
Don't pay attention to the doom and gloom on here. There's usually more going on below the surface with those people. Get on the right meds, get counseling and it doesn't have to he someone who specializes in T. Just having someone to listen and give feedback will go a long way. Eat good and exercise. And remember tomorrow's another day. God Bless you all.
