You don't need to feel guilty about the way you feel, markneil.
When I had my TBI, my GP told me I would have been better off losing both my legs. Just because our injury is largely "invisible," doesn't mean it isn't devastating, difficult and utterly life altering.
As for the blasted ringing, sure it's not immediately, physically lethal, but it can take an enormous toll on one's psychological health.
Although I have damage that makes it difficult for me to ignore/filter sounds, I am pretty good at pushing the tinnitus out of my mind. Still, my ears RINGGGGG 24/7 and there's noway to ignore, completely, something that persistent and annoying.
Heck, it's like being locked in a closet with Paris Hilton, Justin Beiber, Honey Boo Boo, Don Cherry (goggle him, Yanks),Donald Trump and Al Gore. Noway are you coming out of there 100% sane.
