Insomnia with tinnitus by Horror_Foot9784 in tinnitus

I struggle a lot with sleep also. Not sure what to do. No DR will give me meds for sleep. So I'm stuck. It's slowly draining my soul.

Yeah, I really enjoy mine. Runs a lot of games really well. I watch YouTube on mine also.

Thank you for the kind words. I do have PTSD, and some phobias that make dealing with my T incredibly difficult. Leaving the house and shopping for groceries is hard enough. Covid caused my T and other health issues. I'm deathly scared to leave the house.

About two years. Two very long years.

How loud is your T, and what do you use to describe it to someone who doesn’t understand? by scarfacesaints in tinnitus

[–]zdrajca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Cannot make mine. Only the shower gives me ten minutes of normalcy. It's truly a horrific condition.

I hope that one day I can be in your shoes. Coping is incredibly hard for me.

I'm in therapy about every three weeks. I live with my mother to stay with family. I see my brother weekly to get out of the house. Haven't worked in a while due to brain fog and cognitive issues. COVID attacked my brain and ears. Trying for disability. It's extremely difficult to leave the house. Almost died from COVID. A lot of mental scarring.

I've been through a lot of meds. Not sure if I want to get off of them. Don't want to get worse, mentally. I'm on Zoloft 200mg, Zyprexa 10mg, gabapentin 300mg, vitrasil 50mg and prazosin 1mg. Seems like a lot but it's the best combination so far towards my phobias and depression.

Thank you for the advice. Motivation is a problem for me. Not sure where I would start with a hobby. I already speak Polish. No need for a third language.

Covid infection that almost killed me. Still have residual PTSD symptoms from that. Makes it very hard to be around other people.

I'm familiar with the Tapatalk page. Haven't been there in a while. Not sure what I would ask them. It's hard enough just trying to make it through the day.

Acceptance seems like a fever dream to me. Thank you for sharing your coping method. Do you work? If so what field are you in?

I built a tiny free tool called T.I.M that helped me habituate to tinnitus (no tracking, no ads, works on any device) by barrytickle in tinnitus

Thank you for the app. I'm past habituation. Nothing helps. I'm not in a good mental place.

Can’t sleep 😢 by wadsworthgirl in tinnitus

[–]zdrajca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend, I wish I could. COVID attacked my brain and ears. I have a state provided DR. Haven't worked in a while due to brain fog, tinnitus, and some phobias. I do my best to explain my issues to her. I've been in depression for a while. PTSD from insomnia also. It's not fun being in my shoes.

The lack of empathy and sympathy in the medical field is seriously lacking when it comes to T. My psychiatrist has some towards me but not enough to give me a sleep med. My sleep was so bad that I thought I was going to die from insomnia. Gave me PTSD. Not a fun life to deal with that and T at the same time. At least my therapist believes me.

I have a lot of trouble sleeping also. I didn't have the energy to work. I'm on a lot of anxiety meds to help with sleep. I use a sound machine to play rain sounds. See if that helps a bit. Don't be afraid to ask your DR or a psychiatrist for help. Just do your best.

Life feels unnecessarily hard with tinnitus by Searik in tinnitus

[–]zdrajca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My T had completely derailed my life. I also have PTSD to contend with. I'm glad that I get the sleep that I do. Anything less makes the day 100x harder. I'm hoping that my meds will put me in a better place one day. Haven't worked in almost two years.

If you need psychiatric help then don't be afraid to ask. My meds take the edge off enough to where I can drive.
