What would you do if your house burned down? Experiencing tinnitus can seem like your house has been set on fire and razed to the ground. All that’s left of your life as you knew it is smoking embers and damp ash. It can feel – and look – like devastation.
Such a good analogy of the house burning down - I felt such loss, grief, and stress, like my entire internal home was in ashes. It came with the onset of a chronic disease, terminal illness of my dad, continuing work stress, and hyperacusis.
Your message of working through challenging emotions, acceptance, and rebuilding is so important and meaningful. Viewing it as an opportunity to make changes for a better life is truly uplifting.
I’m rebuilding my life in so many ways, but I think practicing self-care and compassion; learning how to process emotions; and managing stress, anxiety and overthinking are important for me.
