I have tinnitus and real bad anxiety & depression. My depression is so bad that I've been having suicidal thoughts. My GP recommended me to take antidepressants and we can talk about it on our next appointment.

For those who have tinnitus, does antidepressants worsen it? Which antidepressants are ok to use with tinnitus (I'll try to talk about diff options with my doctor)?

Edit (forgot some info): My initial intent for going to the GP is to have my ears checked. I have an appointment with an audiologist this Saturday so I would have clarity about my T.

I'm getting anxious again. I just had a muffling spike on my right ear. It disappeared pretty quickly around 15 seconds but the scariest part is that it started again after 2 mins for another few seconds. I still here a slight dinggg sound without the muffling. Another tone of cicadas or similar to that can be heard too.

My GP visit is scheduled on the 28th. I'm trying to see if I can get urgent meeting this Monday. I'm too scared to sleep fearing something may happen.

Someone please help me calm down or cope. I have terrible anxiety issues and im having hard time breathing as I type this.

After a cold, I've been aware I have tinnitus, especially after when my brother played his electric guitar on speakers at home.

At first, I didn't mind since I thought it's temporary. The problem is it's only in my right ear (I think (?) could have a lower tone on my left one). The first sound was like a bunch of crickets more noticeable at night.

Now 2 weeks has passed I just woke up with a tone much noticeable it sounds like a constant dingggg sound with a headache. So basically I have 2 tones, the sound of crickets are still present. I set an appointment with a GP this May 28.

I want to cry so bad. I'm having panic attacks (I have bad anxiety problems). This might be due to using headphones and earphones for a long time, I used to use it to cope with mental health problems especially during covid.

I feel so terrible. I hope this is just a spike. I feel so bad right now, I hate tinnitus.

Can someone help me with coping mechanisms? I'm shaking a lot as I type this

Forgive me for messing up my english, it's not my first language and I'm panicking so much rn.

Edit: I forgot to mention that my right ear became sensitive to loud and high pitched noise recently
