Hello. I have been chronically ill for over a year now. The first half of it all i did was lay down in bed and wait to die. Literally. I still had school at the time though and it was literal hell. The pain i had to endure to sit in that classroom was awful. I tried to keep a low profile and since i am mostly in the background anyways it was easy to do just that.
But fast forward to now and my social life (which was mainly just school) is absolutely Nonexistent. I do school from home (not online school). I work from home. And i go outside only when i absolutely have to. I still live with my parents and siblings obviously but even then, i don’t see them most of the day.
And you know what? It feels absolutely Great. I don’t have to over-explain myself every single time. I don’t have to listen to insensitive comments or pathetic attempts at helping me. If i flare i deal with it the way i always do and if i don’t then i just do what i can. I love my hobbies (the ones i can still pursue). I love my books. I love my computer. I love doing my exercises. And i love doing it all alone. I am even thinking about getting my own place soon. I genuinely LOVE being alone. Being alone was the best thing that ever happened to me. Because of it i can function so much better.
Some people say, that they like being alone but not lonely. And i am lonely. In the sense that, I know, all the people i am acquainted with- will never know or understand. Will never see or feel or hear the world like i do. But it doesn’t bother me anymore.

Also doxylaminsuccinat doesnt always directly interfere with tinnitus. But i and alot of people have spikes from medication and medication can always make tinnitus worse. So be careful when trying it okay? Everyone’s different so you might not know how your body will react
