What Feelings Do You Get When Your Tinnitus Bothers You?

Worried for the future and also a feeling to protect my healthy ear and to help my "damaged" ear.

 

Scared. Anxious. Panic. Depressed. Frustration. Anger. Worry.

 

If I'm tired, and it won't let me sleep, anxious and a little depressed. If I've had a good night's sleep, probably more annoyed. But to date, my Tinnitus is lower in the morning, and increases during the day ... especially around city noise ... so I'm sure their tied perceived volume as well.

 

I used to get suicidal a lot. I was so close to do it even my tinnitus was mild back then. Now, I have T(yesterday I was in shopping mall and I even heard it there, do the math) and I do nit feel suicidal much. I just get very pissed off and sad sometimes but that is it.

 

when T seems extra loud or bothersome I get busy doing something that I enjoy, go to the gym, talk to a friend on the phone and make plans to do something fun and usually it settles down and I go back into habituation where I dont here it at all. If im having a real bad day I pop a xanax but thats last resort...

 

scared, anxiety, fear of future, depressed, sad, mad, very pissed off, very very pissed off.

 

I just really hate faking a smile when it spikes during a conversation with a friend

 

Anxious scared frustrated angry. Starting to accept it and it seems to quiet down but then it gets loud again and i wonder why. I have stopped doing a lot of things i used to do because I'm afraid it will make it worse.

 

Agreed.

 

-Currently hating my life.

-Why?

-Someone up there is playing some sick psychological joke on me.

-It can't be like this for the rest of my life

-I want my old life back

-Obsessed with any and all possible treatments. But constantly bracing for disappointment.

-Sad. Angry. Was suicidal. Depressed.

-Can't sleep.

-Anxiety.

 

I appreciate the sentiments. This forum is a literal life saver sometimes, let me tell you.

I'm working on the acceptance and reaction thing. I'm a month and a half in since T started. Since I started masking at night, I am sleeping better (my T is really loud, need both a fan and a sound machine on), so psychologically I've progressed since the hell of last month. Professional guidance hasn't helped much though. Doctors here very unempahetic and dismissive. Seeking help via naturopath.

 

Annoyed - because I cant control or ignore it - despite knowing it won't hurt me.
Exhausted - by the end of a bad day.
Sad - whats the point of Monster T !

 

Hopeless, imprisoned, depressed, anxiety, angry, suicidal, miserable, lonely, dark.

 

- Why me
- Please just make it stop
- At least lower a bit
- I can't sleep :/
- Just relax and stop thinking about it
- Sometimes suicidal

 

terrified, sad, hurting, angry, can't handle this.
