Hello :),
I really need some advice :(, my latest worry i have caused myself! i was obsessed with breast cancer and finally got through that a few weeks ago, i was doing well but could feel my mind wondering for something to worry about.
For some reason it fixated on my ears and i become worried i would develop tinnitus, well! 2 weeks ago my ear rang and then stopped! (this is normal for me) but then i kept thinking omg what if i could still hear a ringing? and i could but only slightly, i knew it was my mind just looking for something to fixate itself on, and i tried to push it away but as always it won!! i became a bit obsessed with looking for a ringing sound which to be honest i could only hear if i concentrated on it.
It didnt effect me to much last week but it did make me increasingly anxious, this week has been terrible i have a high pitched squeal n my left ear that wont leave! i know i have created this symptom and am so mad with myself!! i cant even watch tv without it bothering me. :lac:
I am now a anxious wreck and feel like i am going to go crazy!! the mind is soo powerful!! is ringing in the ear a common symptom with anxiety? and if my anxety levels reduce will the ringing queiten down? I am thinking it is all pyschological because i developed the symptom after i was worried about it.
I know anxiety heightens your senses, i think this slight ringing has always been there but because i am fixated on it, it sounds ridiculously loud! i have had this with my eyes before, i had snow vision and was fixated on it and i thought that would drive me mad, i dont know how i overcame this but i did and now i dont give it a 2nd thought.
Just need some advice :weep: i feel hopeless its always something!! xx
