Hello and blessings. Asking for prayer for continued strength and healing. Last July I developed tinnitus and what I thought would be a simple, temporary thing has actually turned into my new life. It’s been almost a year and the ringing in my head hasn’t stopped even after seeing countless doctors and racking up thousands in medical bills. The only thing the doctors keep telling me is that “I’ll have to live with it.” I’ve recently began counseling to help with cognitive behavioral therapy to get my mind to adjust to it, but finding my peace again and my desire to do fun things takes a lot of effort as I’m always distracted by the noise. I find myself becoming more distant. There’s never a quiet moment any more and those moments were the times that I truly cherished and needed as someone who enjoys spending time by myself as much as with other people. The ringing is 24/7 and sometimes I feel as if it’s an alarm from my body that something is missing and the longer I wait to correct it, I may even be losing time off my life. I’ve made great strides in coming to terms with accepting that my body is going to change as I get older and I know God would never challenge me with something I can’t handle, but if there is a way to make the constant ringing stop, I’d be eternally grateful and I pray that it finds me soon. If there isn’t a way, I pray for the patience and courage to learn to live with this in a way that it isn’t distracting and disturbing to my inner peace so I can, at least, feel whole and somewhat normal again. Asking in humility, in Jesus’ precious name and I thank you in advance for lifting me up in prayer.
