No one in my family accepts my condition and when I try to explain it, a huge argument breaks out.

My family never really accepted my condition either. And whenever I tried to explain it to them, it broke something inside me — that strong desire to be understood. No matter how hard I tried, they just couldn't grasp how much of a torture this can be unless they've experienced it themselves. They thought my mental health was deteriorating or that I was exaggerating things psychologically. And maybe, without realizing it, they were gaslighting me.

My advice to you is this: when it comes to tinnitus, no matter who your family or friends are, anyone outside of "our group", the tinnitus community will probably react the same way. You might not like to hear this, but honestly, my advice is: don't bother telling anyone who hasn't lived with tinnitus. There's simply no benefit. Most people just won't understand. Even your closest friends might end up asking stupid questions. Trust me, I know this too well because I've been through it myself.
(2/2) Right now, I continue not because of me, but for my wife and my family. I don't know what can I do to get a little better. I truly want to live of course, but right now it's hard to see the point in any of this. I just go through days and weeks the best that I can, but it's hard when you are being tortured all day 24/7. If I surrender someday, at least I know that I tried as hard as I could.

Hey my friend, I'm really sorry to read what you're going through. I noticed you joined the forum back in February 2017. Has it really been bad all this time? Didn't you have any better or more tolerable periods — times when things felt a bit lighter or closer to baseline? It's been over 8 years now. I've had very severe tinnitus too, for more than a year. I went through suicidal-level days, but also some okay ones. Not many, but still not every day was terrible. I just wonder if you had any of those moments too.
(1/2) Yesterday I should have had a good day. Easy work in the morning, and later I went with my wife to get a coffee and some doughnuts. Then we cooked some dinner and watched a episode of one of my favorite series, The flight of the Conchords. Anyway, I was feeling terrible and so depressed, because of loud T and hearing loss. I hardly enjoyed any of that. I was being tortured. If I can't enjoy some of this things, then I don't see the point in continuing living.
