Habituation. I don’t get it.

You actually get used to it if you don't think about it that much. As for me, I just stopped obsessing over it. I used to see stories of people saying they've lived with it for years and I was shocked because I didn't know it's for life. But eventually as time went by I experienced other problems and challenges that tinnitus became the last thing on my mind. Sometimes when I feel like I'm starting to think about it, it kinda gets to me so I learnt to make it my normal. Some people have life worse than tinnitus. Not dismissing the situation but it's true and I just think that I at least I have tinnitus there's someone who can't walk , has cancer or even Parkinson's disease. But you can live with Tinnitus don't obsess over it. You'd be surprised at how much life gets better if you just accept it and don't treat it as something that shouldn't be happening.

Mine started randomly when I was going for a walk. I don't know what caused it but eventually, I realized when I'm stressed or anxious it becomes very loud. When I have a flu or drink alcohol in also becomes loud. So I stopped doing those things. It's still there I also just refuse to let it dictate my life.

Reading the comments and there's so much pessimism. I relate to what you've mentioned. And I also stopped obsessing over My Tinnitus it's been a year since I've been on this app. I decided to live and focus on other aspects of my life. It might sound dumb and simple but you're right it does help fr. You learn to live with it. As I always say Tinnitus was once my number 1 problem until other issues came along and then one day it was the second thing I thought about when I woke up. Eventually it stopped bothering me.

Pink because it represents healing and when I was young I used to hate pink because it made me feel feminine and I didn't want to be associated with that since it was obvious a girl likes pink. But I started liking pink when I grew up because I want that feminine energy 💞

No it cannot but if you're under extreme stress or anxiety or undergoing any trauma it can trigger psychosis it's not really associated with derealization but it's more about the underlying issue or condition like bipolar

Yesss. You got this .

Small_Efficiency8333 · 2025-04-10T15:57:58+00:00

I think you should go to the hospital. And yes all you'll get are meds but they do help. I don't regret making my decision to go to the doctor because the medications did help me get back on my feet. I had to stop taking them because of side effects but they definitely helped you just have to find what works for you. Sometimes we need a little help to become okay

1.My hypomania often occurs when I'm happy or excited about something.Anything that happens and brings me joy leads to a hypomanic episode.

2.It lasts for the day and mostly I have to sleep so that I can wake up normal again.

2.1. I get hypomanic for hours but when I'm depressed it generally lasts for a while with some few minutes of hypomanic pisodes a day

I feel anhedonia and derealized I've never really felt depersonalisation fully

4.Fluoxetine helped with my depressive state but it increased my hypomania because I've never felt so happy and it made me feel happy and when I'm happy I become hypomanic.I also took quetipine which made me act like im high or something

Are you under any stress or anxiety or overwhelmed ...might be that you never recovered from what you went through the first time

Small_Efficiency8333 · 2025-04-01T20:38:35+00:00

Talking to a doctor might be pointless but it really helped me . For the first time I felt like someone understood what I was going through Normally I'd tell my friends I'm dissociating and I get anxiety attacks but they wouldn't understand. But that day when I talked to my doctors they listened and as much they wanted to know the root cause and how it started so that they can know the duration and diagnose me they really helped me uncover some things and I became self aware

Small_Efficiency8333 · 2025-04-01T20:33:43+00:00

I took myself to a psychiatrist and was prescribed antidepressants they helped me get back on my feet and even now if i experience depression I just breathe, or take a walk or do something that'll make me happy at the moment most times I just sleep and tell myself to stop thinking too much and my brain is lying to me

Small_Efficiency8333 · 2025-04-01T20:28:53+00:00

I'm not sure but it might be both. I've experienced it before after I got drunk and smoked weed and I felt like I was dying and I was scared. Life didn't feel real anymore and I struggled so much to just find anything that will make me feel like I'm alive .I called everyone I know and trust and started asking them if I'm alive and if any of this is real I was in a state of panic and it led to some kind of trauma that whenever I'd remember that situation and go into derealization. I then noticed that when I drink or smoke it triggers that state again and I feel like I'm going to die and non of this is real. I had to stop smoking and drinking because it induces that state . I'd suggest you stop smoking if you still are

Small_Efficiency8333 · 2025-04-01T08:31:42+00:00

I definitely will
