PolarBear Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 You continue to repeat yourself. You tell the same story, over and over and over again. When are you going to stop and try doing something different? Link to comment

PolarBear Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Well it's your choice, tinkerbell. You can keep going on the way you are and not getting anywhere or you can do something different and hopefully get over this thing. I guarantee you're not going to get to a better place by ruminating and constantly repeating yourself. Link to comment

PolarBear Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 We've already told you what you can do to start making things right. Do you want us to tell you again? Link to comment
tinkerbell Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Just let it be there ( that's the hardest thing ever without me getting anxiety over it Link to comment
Caramoole Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 You have to expect the anxiety for a while. There isn't a pain-free or easy way out. Link to comment
PolarBear Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yup, it's not easy. It's downright hard. Your mind will continually (for a while) tell you to do one thing, while you need to do another. It's not easy fighting with your own brain. But, it can be done. The fact is you are fixated on the ringing in your ears and fixated on reading about it and getting it. That's what you need to leave alone. You have to refuse to get into mental debates over it and going over it in your head, again and again. When thoughts about the ringing pop up, leave them alone. Refocus onto something else. Also, don't pepper other people with comments and stories about the ringing in your ears. All of those things are compulsions, which only serve to keep you trapped right where you are. Link to comment
tinkerbell Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 It's the only thing I can do God I never thought I be like this over this story I haven't cry so much and been so scared in my life it's only coz she said she had it for life I didn't have this **** noises before I readit its like I've turned in to noises in my ear ( I will try the other day I had the cd payer on all day and it helpx Link to comment

Guest Himmel Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 You focus is on a noise in your ears. If I focus on my ears right now I Can hear a ring to. But when I stop focusing I dont notice. You hear it because your ocd makes you. Try and Think of our Big toe for 2 minutes. What do you notice? How does it feel? Probably it feels bigger, maybe some pain or anything. Did you feel something i the other toes or Else where while thinking? Probably not, maybe the rigning also Went away for a short while. So the ringing is because you try so hard to hear it even if you wont. And all people have a noise/ring now and then for 1 hour to days and then it go away. Maybe you listen to a loud noise. So start to Think of another part of the body or just accept the ring and then it goes away. Himmel Link to comment

Guest Stu. Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Tinkerbell the ringing in your ears is tinnitus, I have it, its caused by being exposed to loud noise, I used to listen to loud music through headphones, when I found out I had it I lost the plot, but you get over it and eventually you get so used to it you genuinely don't hear it anymore, how old are you?

Chipre Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I have ringing sounds too even though I don't listen to loud music. But I have blepharospasm which is worse and won't calm down Link to comment

PolarBear Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 And you're repeating yourself again. You keep telling the same story, over and over. You are fixated on that event. You need to let it go. Link to comment

Caramoole Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Tinkerbell the ringing in your ears is tinnitus :no: The "ringing" in Tinkerbells ears is almost certainly normal, noticed because she's listening in and carrying out compulsions because of OCD. Link to comment

Caramoole Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Sadly Tinkerbell it's going to bother you as long as you keep doing the compulsions.....every time you write that same message down here is a compulsion, every time you ask for reassurance either on the forums or by PM-ing someone or asking your Family is a compulsion. You've got to try and resist that....I know it's really hard but you've got to try Link to comment
tinkerbell Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 I know its so hard when I read that stroy that lady said she had it for life thst ring now I think the same sorry iam so upset Link to comment
