I am a former musician, drinker and pothead. But all that is over. I had a stroke and brain aneurysm in 2019 but lived. My life has been nightmarish and done downhill since then.
I developed chronic 24/7 Tinnitus in 09/19..my ears shrill constantly....I had just sort of rehabilitated until last Monday i suffered another random acoustic trauma in my left ear, confirmed by an ent. The Tinnitus is shrill and unbearable now. I cannot listen to music at All and sounds are painful. A whistle on a game on TV is extremely painful. I probably hear 8-10 different times between my two ears. I sleep about 3-4 hours before Valium wears off.
I was diagnosed and have progressive cidp in 20. Ivig treatment failed and none exists for me. My legs are becoming numb and it's extremely painful. I will be immobilized eventually.
I attempted church and finding something that way but have found no solace and I cannot even endure a service anyway with my ears.
The last two ltr I was in were Narcissist...and I was used m, cheated on and dumped last spring. I have been heartbroken and alone ever since while the other person is as happy as can be with me gone.
People in my life are shallow and promise an ear but become annoyed quickly and a "friend" earlier today hurt me deeply with a mean comment back on text after I told them I was suffering badly from Tinnitus, cidp and bipolar. I may be schizophrenic.
I am an academic and am a very good writer but the Tinnitus has destroyed my ability to concentrate
I am allergic to all animals and pets severely and this not only makes me isolated but ppl think I am evil because I dislike dogs. No...I'm just totally allergic. Cats are worse.
Weed is illegal where I live and I am on chemo and biological meds for psoriatic illness.
Weed used to help me cope but I can't smoke it anymore as I get immediate painful infection in my ears , worsening my Tinnitus
I have left social media and upon returning and asking to be friends again most say they were not aware I was gone.
I could go on, but I'm isolated and bipolar and the only thing I can do is play an online game I like constantly, like a job.
Ctb is always on my mind 24/7. Drugs would be ideal. I enjoy opioids but have no clue where to get them or decent edibles. Synthetic Delta 8 seems to make me psychotic. I do want to hurt myself. I don't want to hurt others but I have thought about it especially ppl connected to my ex.
I don't want to ctb anywhere near my home or living few relatives. I would have to do significant planning but I have given up on the idea that I will ever be happy in this life.
I do not have children so no one depends on me in any way.
I am tired fortunately.that is the best part of my day. I am currently intentionally taking acetomenophine at will. Can't drink on chemo cause I just puke it up. .
My "friends* are cruel , evil people and I have finally given up and will not communicate with them.
Not sure what else to say right now but I will check back. I have severe memory loss and issues from cidp and forget what I do And may forget I wrote this. I have bipolar, panic attack, major depression, and probably schizophrenia but I can't take meds because they all flare up my hands and feet. I also had to stop GABA for this reason so there is nothing to help my nerve pain, which can only get worse.
My back really hurts so I need to lay down but thank you for reading and I will check back.
