I am planning to take my own life because the tinnitus has become too much to handle.
Hey, please don’t go through with this. I hear you. I struggle with T as well, and even though it’s exhausting, there is light at the end of the tunnel. It gets better, it just takes a bit of time.
You have the strength to overcome this. Life is about so much more than this illness. Don’t let it defeat you! It’s possible to be happy and lead a rewarding life even with these symptoms.
Whether you’re my brother or sister, taking your own life would just be throwing away everything your life could have become. I’ve been through some really dark times, especially at 21 when medical problems had me stuck in bed and weighing only 140 lbs at 6ft tall. I was in that state until I was 23, when I finally started infusions that helped me recover. After that, I struggled with massive anxiety and lost my father. Now at 26, I’m still wondering what’s next, but looking back, I would have deeply regretted ending it and never getting the chance to get better. It would have left people heartbroken, even if they eventually moved on. I would have lost the chance to connect with people and grow. Keep going, not just for everyone else, but for yourself.
