Where is your escapism

[Avicii]

For those that know don't know I have really really bad Tinnitus if it weren't for it I'm sorry but I'd never be on this site - my escapism is three to four showers a day was one to two but it's gotten so much worse over past couple months the relief of being in the shower away from noise - death I'm I wrong to be scared ??? It's the method I haven't got it worked out - considered hanging know a lovely woods but even going through my mind is how to get up a bloody tree , balance on a bloody branch and loop a rope on the bloody thing all without falling off !!!!

Eh i guess i have videogames and the internet to try and take my mind of my depressive thoughts and disease.
I don't have as much fun as i did when i was younger but it still relieves me a bit.
Oh and music of course, even though the music that i have been listening to for the past year leaves me more furious and agitated instead of relaxed. Still worthy for the adrenaline boost.

Mine was Bipolar but T as come very close to me ending this fucking nightmare.
Got to the point lastnight that I just took my ear phones out as nothing drowned the continue buzzing in my ear and I kept hearing music.
My escapism at the moment is SS and gin and dog stroking!

I usually scroll Reddit or watch YouTube videos but that's even lost its appeal. I come here and read a lot, recently joining has given me something to enjoy but I'm getting closer to my day. Anything I enjoyed doing I don't anymore and I haven't for such a long time. I'm a bit jealous of anyone that can enjoy anything tbh

Playing pool, beers and Youtube

I'be heard that some people with Tintiitus have to have some kind of noise in the background, like white noise, or quiet radio all the time - is that true ? My only escape is sleeping & being in dreams - which is horrible each time I wake up - to my own personal version of a living nightmare ...& then being on here - obvs

Music. Obsessively making a playlist that's been going on for years and will likely never end. I've put my mind to a lot of things over the years that ultimately had no future.

Tinnitus is a killer, that's what led me into severe trouble and the subsequent nightmare. Sorry to hear and I feel your pain
Peace/hugs

Same - it's called anhedonia apparently - kind of different from depression-v. Similar but u don't even have pockets or moments of things you enjoy - but once did- I have it-severely-makes life not worth living for sure

I listen to music pretty much 24/7. Helps drown out the thoughts in my head. Or rather, it helps me wallow in my own misery in a way that is not self-destructive. I also spend a lot of time on the internet.

Yes but then the constant noise becomes tinnitus there's no escape from noise

 

[truthseeker]

Alone at home watching movies or online.

I could alcohol, vape, kratom, melatonin, CBT myself to sleep every night. Kinda surprised my heart didn't explode and that I'm still breathing. If I didn't pass out for the night I'd watch YouTube videos.

Prozac has taken the edge off and makes things not so bad, okay even.

Reading 5 Last Acts keeps me slightly busy lately. I used to read a decent amount. Back in the day I could video game morning until night. Now, if I could actually want to do things, well, that would be nice.

I had a severe reaction to dangerous meds (they're all dangerous) and tinnitus started the process down the road to hell
Peace

Movies, TV shows, youtube and video games. When I'm feeling super anxious I usually play a chill, repetitive game and it helps. Stardew Valley's really good, or Prison Architect
