100 HOGS AGREE posted:my dentist keeps telling me I'm grinding my teeth but if I gotta choose between wearing my teeth down to nubs or not being able to sleep cause I'm wearing a mouth guard I'm gonna choose sleep. I had a dentist recently want to charge me $1700 for one but after I fired him and went to another the night guard I had been using for the past long time is still fine. You can also get them at a drugstore for fairly cheap, just saw a few to choose from tonight in fact. They won't be perfectly custom but eh better then grinding them. I use dto wake up with a sore mouth and loose teeth and don't anymore, its a huge help

An insane mind posted:So reading this thread uhm...boy., is it ok if I say that I have basically become stuck in C-Spam? I switch between a few doomsday threads constantly and shitpost and I can't actually stop. I'm researching every little tidbit about Trump and Brexit and climate change deniers obsessively and it's making me feel paralyzed. me too actually but replace "research" with "scrollin and trumpin"

Tungsten posted:oh god what if i'm not anxious enough during my anxiety consult its turtles all the way down turtles with anxiety but seriously, your comment strikes home. Like I'm telling myself I'm not seriously affected and am taking resources away from someone who REALLY needs them. Its pernicious

Louisgod posted:I'm really saddened by all of the misinformation, or lack of information, about tinnitus both online and offline. I posted about my recent experiences in the COVID thread and how I've learned tons of useful tips and tricks to help with my recent spat of tinnitus, and I had four separate goons PM me saying they suffer from tinnitus and asked for advice as well. Most western PCPs will prescribe random poo poo to help with symptoms then refer folks to an ENT, who then run a hearing test and in the end say there's nothing they can do and they have to live with it, which is patently wrong. I joined a Facebook tinnitus support group and the number of people who are insanely depressed and have had their lives ruined is too many to count, with many drinking every night until they pass out as a means for relief. Then you get the ones who are so desperate that they delve into conspiratorial territory of blaming 5G, wi-fi and/or vaccines for their onset of tinnitus. I have not had good results from ENTs, they always seem to look at whatever, shrug and say "nothing can be done". But my tinnitus never went through one of them, I was sent straight to a hearing clinic, they found I had mild hearing loss due to having lived so long, and suggested maybe I could consider hearing aids. Not sure if that would help with the constant ringing but at least I'm able to easily tune it out

Then again, my anxiety consult kind of went the same way as an ENT visit this time, since it is a program that only sees you for a single visit, then recommend a bunch of web sites you can go to to work on mindfulness and CBT. Which, fair, but I can google too and already had so

Cuttlefush posted:also if you have tinnitus and have never tried the back of head ear clap thing, google that phrase and try it I have and there is little to no relief from it, sadly. Thanks for the links to the pubmed articles and appreciate the effortpost!

Prescott posted:Meditation/Mindfulness has been the most useful tool psychology ever offered me. It can be hard as a material atheist not to side-eye all the spiritual and pseudo-religious baggage people bring of it but there’s a lot of scientific, even neurological evidence to its efficacy, which convinced me as a staunchly material early twentysomething. If I catch myself in time it can turn a full-blown panic attack into merely an unbearable acrid anxiety, or an acrid anxiety into merely a cold pit in my chest. And on my good days I use it to make the most of what few they are. For me, the very model of a material atheist, being an academic in science, I bounced off mindfulness meditation until incorporating some of the Buddhist background oddly. It didn't make sense to me removed from it's fuller context for whatever reason. And whatever, it works, and most of the philosophy doesn't demand you accept things like reincarnation or the pure land of Amitaba Buddha (although I think they have more practical lessons in a non woo direction too, in a Zen tradition).

would it make sense to start a thread in the Goon Doctor about tinnitus, really drill down into it? I've noticed mine much more the past couple of days. Noise cancelling headphones really seem to set it off since I'm basically just left with it.

StashAugustine posted:Had an insomnia attack last night and have felt tense and upset most of the day. I've been able to keep most of the mental problems down, mostly by recognizing that I'm having a physical episode that's making it hard to think clearly and that ive beaten it before and just need to wait it out again, but still sucks that I'm having trouble sleeping and dealing with these symptoms. Got a bit of an upset stomach and my heart feels fast and heavy, plus my whole body feels tense and tired. I don't know exactly why this came back right now- there's a few minor things here and there but nothing worse than the usual baseline. I was just reading an article in WaPo about early heart attack signs and now everything seems to be a potential heart attack symptom now so I'm hair triggered to be alarmist but maybe consider getting that checked? I am not an MD and am not giving medical advice btw

StashAugustine posted:Yeah I was scared of that a while back, but I got checked out the day after an attack a while back and didn't have anything noticed. I'm also in acceptable shape in my late 20s so it feels pretty unlikely. I felt better when I went out for dinner with some of my siblings in town, so if it isn't purely psychological then it's something transient. But yeah I'm always not sure when worrying about something is hypochondriac anxiety and when ignoring it is complacency ok good good, just checking

Pajser posted:its not numbing me anymore and im afraid these days im going to do something truly stupid If you can, maybe consider checking yourself in for a short bit of inpatient care? Will prevent you from doing something truly stupid and they will get the ball rolling on helping you work out whatever is at the root of your rage issue. Also therapy, but if you are really on that edge as you say, I wouldn't wait myself.
