Poll: Are You Happy?

Of course its most likely not going to go away. I also have noise-induced tinnitus and it shall probably be with me forever or until an effective treatment is found. However my point is that slowly we will get used to it and will stop seeing it as smth unbearable. Sure adjustments have to be made, but that doesn't mean that one should be unhappy Life is about being flexible and getting used to different situations. Also these adjustments shouldn't be seen as "letting T control your life" but more as you taking care of your health and wellbeing.

 

Hmm. Am I happy? Not there yet. Still having some depression because of T.
I try living day by day and make the best out of it.
On the long run hoping for habituation.
We must be patient. It will take time getting used to it.

 

epin, i absolutely hope you did not see my comment as an attack versus you personally!!!! i am really happy for YOU if it is true what you say!!!!!more than happy for you! so ok ,i believe you and try to change my own attitude a bit!!!good good look my friend for the future!

 

I have mild T but I cannot say I'm happy, I still experience T related anxiety especially in the mornings and I have huge concentration problems ar work. If I could overcone concentration problems than I would be much closer to being relatively happy again

 

Hello everyone!
I got my tinnitus some days ago so I'm quite new to this whole thing. The little ringing sound in my ear when I try to get some sleep after a long day at school, yeah, it's annoying. I do not know what the future awaits for me, I do not know if my tinnitus will fully disappear (which will be a miracle) or if it will worsen or get better.

Either way, i know that it is not that dangerous or harmful.
I know that I cannot keep living in a shadow where I am scared of doing things in my life just because of this condition.

I know I am not the only one with T, and I know that some people have worse T than I have so I respect those people a lot, you are amazing!!

I just came here to remind you all that, even though we have this condition, doesn't mean we can't enjoy life like any other human without T, let's take care of our ears and try to live peacefully with this condition! It will get better as time goes ! Keep your heads up

Let's all also remind ourselves, that this condition also helped us become a stronger version of ourselves.
This condition has caused many problems, for school in my case, but for any person's daily life too, but it has helped us become stronger.

 

Why did it increase?
