Woke Up to Screaming Tinnitus

I've not posted on this forum over the Summer, as I was feeling better about my tinnitus and was trying to avoid reading forums. I had managed to not be anxious over my tinnitus, which has been very loud for a long time now. Felt like I had maybe habituated at last and was feeling happier, even put on an extra few pounds in weight.

But this morning I woke up to screaming tinnitus, like on another level, from another planet. Proper blasting away with extra high pitch sounds and I woke up sweating like I had a fever. The anxiety kicked in really badly and I feel out of sorts today.

Will this torture ever end. Just when I was doing better. Feeling negative and emotional again and then I read about the folk from this forum who have lost their lives. So sad and it makes me feel overwhelmed again. Seems like there is a fine line between feeling ok and feeling helpless. Lasting habituation doesn't feel like a reality or possibility at the moment.

I can only be thankful for having had days where I felt better and hope good days return.

 

I try to think about something positive or helping, but I have no tip. I just can say that I understand and that if you need to talk, even if it's just to vent, you can come into mp ok?

Take care!

 

@Tweaker ,
Try not get down hearted and let anxiety take hold.
You could have a virus in your system or sinuses playing up.
Try keep relaxing sound on around you and have your ears checked if not settling.

Thanks guys. Yes I know I need to try to remain positive. As we all know, it aint easy when the noise levels ramp up to extremes. I can't believe how much noise our brains can make.
If only there was something that could tame this beast. One day hopefully, so that we dont lose more poor souls to this aweful condition.

 

Good line!
I hope that you're setback is a temporary one. Sending good thoughts your way!

I woke up to screaming tinnitus in the middle of last night, but was able calm down somewhat, and get back to sleep. I have sleep problems that have something to do with adrenaline and cortisol. I can relate to the other points of your post. Hope you feel better soon.
