Suicidal because of severe tinnitus

As the title says really. Got hearing loss and tinnitus after having microsuction on my left ear last May. Lost two stone in weight in two months, still can barely eat, haven't eaten a meal since last May. Been house bound since July, the tinnitus has really ramped up since about September, it's a hissing and extremely loud droning like a vehicle engine, this never stops and the only relief I get is the few hours sleep a night, I can hear it every where. I'm on mirtazapine reluctantly, supposed to give you an appetite but hasn't with me, I'm barely eating and can't function even struggle with getting washed etc. All this and my partner has serious health issues too. I've been feeling suicidal for months and not seen any improvements in the situation. I spend most of my time in bed, just can't see a good way out of this. Can't even sit down as it makes me feel queasy and restless. I'm so ready to go but not sure how to do it. Sorry just so desperate.

Hi there Texarkana67,
We're so sorry to read that you're still suffering from this tinnitus, and extend our considerable sympathies.
Because you're feeling low, we wanted to flag a link to our Mental Health resources.
You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well. And the hearing aids sound like a potential help?
Fingers crossed that something helps soon. Flowers
