We can only pray that someday Tinnitus and other ear related symptoms are not "treated" like in medieval times. It amazes me that only treatments they offer is therapy and anti-depressants. This is not depression, or mental issue. Do you heal broken bones with anti-depressants or therapy?

Happy anniversary T. Has it been 9 years already!?! Still no cures I see. lol
Checking in…hope everyone is doing well 
Is gabapentin safe for tinnitus? My psychiatrist really wants me to take it right now because I'm so severely anxious but I'm scared of worsening even more
This reactivity is killing me. I can't believe it only started because I paid attention to my TTTS again and built up anxiety. I really hope it gets better.
The thing causing me the most issues rn is dysacusis. I keep getting more distortions over my fan and it gives me a lot of anxiety. Does this usually improve?
Today we drove past a construction site when i was talking to my mom in the car. I held my fingers in my ear while we drove past the site since they were using jackhammer right next to the car and responded to her question. I was like "wow that was loud talking with the fingers in the ears" i know that occulision effect can make it louder but there is no way that can actually be damaging right?
I am not as anxious about the incident anymore but im very irritated since its very hard to not hear it and im also for some weird reason im very sleepy.
imagine doing something so silly that running into a wardrobe could ruin ur entire week... -.-

Okay I lied. 1 more post. THE Penny cat laying in me earlier while I watched Bob Ross to try and calm down 
Okay last post for now. Sorry I haven't replied to everyone, I read all of your messages and appreciate every one, I'm just too overwhelmed to reply a lot of times. Thank you everyone, seriously.
Also, random, but how do you react to posts now?? I only see the like option but sometimes I wanna use a different reaction. I'm not used to the updated site yet lol
Thanks for the words of encouragement everyone. It means more than you know. I turn 25 in a little less than a month and hope I'll be feeling better by then. I was a scared 22 year old when I first got T. Now I'm a scared near 25 year old… lol
I just want someone to help me. But nobody can help with this and I can't help myself
I genuinely can't get through this. It's worse and worse every day. I don't know what to do. I can't do it I really can't
Well the spike from last incident is here and very loudly, trying to stay calm but very hard. Funny how life was doing really good for 2 weeks and then a idiot incident running into a wardrobe door sets me back to having panic and high anxiety again. Always feels like 1 step forward and 2 steps back with this condition.... Just hoping the spike wont be permanent.
I've been under a lot of stress over the last few days, and now I'm getting a feeling of ear fullness in my right ear, accompanied by a very strong reactivity to everything. It's so bad I can't focus on anything. What am I supposed to do in this situation?
Can severe anxiety cause a spike/cause new tones to appear? And can those said tones go away again once anxiety settles or am I fucked forever now with a new perma worsening from my anxiety?
Damn those cars and tucks. I was walking down a pedestrian street a truck wanted to drive past and honked right in my ear. Got really anxious and angry. Now my ears are screaming louder than ever (it seems… I hope it's just my alerted nervous system giving fodder to the tinnitus).
Havent been in here much since ive been having some really great weeks. Today it was a loud sound. I had 2 wardrobe doors open next to eachother and by accident when going in smacked one of them with my shoulder so they banged against eachother making a very loud sound. Measured to 109-111 DB and it was right next to my ear :/ Hope i wont spike.
Had orientation for college on Monday and had to sit in a gym. Luckily, I was somewhat accommodated and they let me stay outside until it actually began (the announcer was rallying up the students before hand) and I got to leave a little before it ended to avoid the cheering as they called each major. It was such a long and loud day but so far i'm feeling okay! 
The more I freak out, the worse my T gets (or seems). And then I freak out more. And then it gets worse. I threw up 3 times today from anxiety. I'm worried I won't get thru this this time
Another eeeeeeeexciting day day with T. Here we go.
I've been crying on and off all day with some severe panic attacks. Woke up in a cold sweat due to anxiety as well. I don't know what to do 
My OCD about my T is killing me

Hey! You perfectly describe the feeling I have. When you can continue your life but it's colorless and joyless. I think I'm not cut out for that too. This is just against all my live principles. It feels like some highly intelligent creature created this condition with all it's sadism and cleverness in order to punish us and see we suffer. This condition is too evilly smart.
I miss all of my friends from here, you all always encouraged me to keep going when I didn't think I could. I really need that right now. IDK how to do this all over again.
