I know, there are so many things that can cause the ringing. But having it certainly doesn’t help with anxiety, rather the opposite. It drives me crazy sometimes and I just want it to stop. Thanks for sharing, not too much information at all! 🩷

Yeh not sure going cold turkey off HRT was a good idea right now too. I’m sorry it’ll just be temporary. I’ve had distractions today. Looked after my great niece, she’s only 2 so went to feed the ducks then soft play. Tried to focus on something else if I could

Went to the GP again today as the ringing in my ears hasn’t cleared! Hardly slept last night which probably didn’t help either. It was the same doctor who saw Mr when I had the cold virus and obviously since then I’ve been to the hearing clinic for micro suction. He confirmed that my ears are completely clear and healthy. I must admit my hearing is better. He did know about my situation and said this ringing and fuzzy head is all part of bereavement symptoms. He was very empathetic and understood but also told me it would get better but this is all part and parcel of bereavement and how it effects people’s mental health.

Good you got an all clear! Let’s hope he’s right and that it goes away. I can imagine it has to do with us being so tense and overstressed. And weeping so much.
I posted this picture on another board. It shows may of the ways grief hits us. I found it helpful to know I wasn’t going made.
@Titch7674 I hope the ringing and fuzziness clears soon. I feel like I’ve had brain fog for months. Will I ever be myself again I wonder.

Yep stress related tinnitus is actually a thing!! The graphic is so right @RobBeat08. I went back to the house today. Was brave. I also heard one of mum’s funeral sings on the radio for the first time. Talked a lot to my friend today all about mum which was lovely

Oh, my dear, but you are. You are brave every day, waking up and continuing to breathe and exist when your life has been turned upside down.

PS. We all are, really. Ever so brave. We’re trying to survive and reaching out, sharing our stories. That takes courage, even if we don’t feel courageous at the moment.
Hugs to everyone!

Definitely. We’ve all reached out for help. Not everyone does.

Went for my first run since mum died. Slow but who cares. Hoping it helps with my mindset. How are you all doing today?

Well done. It’s good to acknowledge the progress we’re making. Likewise, I rode my bike for the first time, this week. Only a short trip.

I don’t think any of us knows that right now, so you’re not alone. 
3 weeks today since dad passed. I’ve been a bit teary. Back at work and I’ve had some distractions. The plan is to try and relax a bit tomorrow.
I hope I can get to the gym this week as I’m aching. Or a long work.
Well done on the running and cycling.
