My family is going to Japan next Tuesday for a week except me… for now.

I’m not sure whether I should go along.

I want to stay home and study because I will be having my A Levels next year (somewhat like AP and IB), and I haven’t been studying much this year as I dropped out of school for half a year due to some personal problems.

If I do not go on a vacation, I could stay home and study and go for my weekly therapy (maybe two times next week). But if I go on a vacation, my mother said that I could still bring my books along and stay in the hotel room and study on my own. But the thing is that I hate traveling, I have tinnitus I hate the high pressure in the plane and the noise, and my anxiety increases when I am in a foreign country, the unfamiliarity. So does it make sense to study in other country while my family are out? The thing is, if I do not go, my mother would be upset. I, on the other hand, am upset that she doesn’t seem to understand that I have to study.

I am not the type of teenager to likes to have fun and such. I am the introvert, thinking type. I hate going out, shopping and crowds. But I live in a tropical country and it would be nice to go somewhere cold for a while. I also think that my therapist would get angry if I skipped any session next week (I didn’t get to see her this week). I do not know exactly why I feel that way but when I told her that I do not want to go away, she said that she wanted to go. Would she be jealous, angry?

What are your thoughts?

Thank you.

Back in February, I got an ear infection due to getting altitude sickness on a ski trip. Ever since I’ve had a constant ringing in my ears. I went to my doctor and he said to give it time but it still hasn’t gone away. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

I am suffering from tinnitus for 6 years.. and my probale cause is "tinnitus due to stress". Any body who can suggest me how to completely overcome this particular condition.

Any home remedies??

I feel so bad for her. She cant hear at all out of that ear. Its been non stop for a week. Her a docs appointment isn’t until tuesday. What can she do to help it. What could it mean. Think it may have happened from a friends loud Stereo in the car. No one else though was bothered by it. i didn’t think it was that loud and i have excellent hearing. What will happen? Will this go on for ever? does it go away?

that was a typo

Everyday it keeps getting worst and worst, and i feel like im going to go crazy if it doesn’t get any better. If anyone knows of a medication or a really good doctor that can cure it, can you please help me?

I’m 20, I just got back these blood results, and my doctor referred me to an endocrinologist. he said that I have low cortisol, low progesterone, unusually low testosterone, and elevated TSH?

my symptoms are sudden weight gain (that stopped, but won’t come off), anxiety, tinnitus, brain fog, exhaustion, infrequent period (starting last Dec.) and a few others

thanks !
