Lack of support

I’ve had tinnitus for the better part of a decade now and I’m flabbergasted at how there’s no support groups or even how unprepared therapists are for dealing with it. I suffer big time from it… every day is a struggle. I don’t think unaliveing myself is the solution but I think about it every single day, multiple times a day. I feel like if we could get together and talk to each other about our experiences it would do nothing but help. At the least we could share practices or therapies that have helped us, but at the most we could hold each other accountable for making it through another week. Every days a challenge, I truly see the world as a much darker place through this awful condition. Just looking for help in any way possible.

▲ 3 r/tinnitus

I’ve had tinnitus for 7 years now. It has always been mild. It was scary at first but it was my own fault. Being in a band and working in the trades with no ear protection. I learned to live with it and get some sleep with very mild medication…

A week ago Tuesday someone slammed a large metal dumpster down outside at my work, I was walking away towards the work truck and didn’t see any of it happening. I heard it scrap the pavement and felt great pain in both ears. Ever since then the tinnitus has been insanely loud. I went to hospital and they gave me one dose of steroids to see if it would help. It did nothing from what I can tell. Now I’m on heavy sleeping medication just to get sleep at night and I’m suicidal most days. If this truly is what the rest of my life is now I’m not sure I want to live it.

Im willing to try anything, any advice you have, any drugs no matter the risk. It feels like it’s life or death. I know our brains should habituate but it’s been two weeks of living hell with no sign of it getting better. Any vitamins I could take? Any sound therapy’s that have helped you guys? Absolutely anything would be greatly appreciated… it feels like it’s life or death. I try all my normal hobbies but nothing can be enjoyed through this anymore.

TLDR: It’s super loud and I’ll try anything to try and regain my sanity. Any advice, medications, vitamins, therapy’s would help.

▲ 13 r/Clayface

I will start by saying clay face is my favourite rogues gallery villain of all time. I want to start a discussion on where how far this movie will take his origins story and any theories or similarities you can see to other stories.

I can’t help but see a similarity between Joaquin phoenix’s joker and clayface. They are both men that have lived through shitty circumstances, although the jokers is much worse than clayface’s traditional original story. I feel that may be bolstered for this movie. We will be made to feel how a sane man can be driven to kill.

I do believe he will be offered “experimental treatment” for a reduced sentence. That’s where the powers will come from. I think the scene above will be the end of the movies second act. After the face wipe scene our protagonist will panic and seek medical attention. They will surgically remove the skin covering his mouth, eyes and nose. This will leave him

In extreme pain and mangled.

The third act will be him overcoming extreme pain while shaping his face. It will look monstrous for the whole third act of the movie, maybe he’ll be pursued by the law after breaking out of the hospital. There will be a confrontation of sorts where he will take his own life rather than fight or risk another’s, showing deep regret for his past actions. I think this maybe be in the form of him being chased to the cliff side of Arkham asylum and jumping.

The last scene will be wrapping up loose ends in the story line as life goes on without him. But reminiscent of the end of Nolan’s Batman he will be seen by viewers, only in the background with a perfect face. Signalling the perfection of his shapeshifting powers and leaving an opening for a sequel.
