Day 1 Journal
Wow, what do I say? I think this is a great program for me and others. I love the fact that we can help each other.
I have started a new church last year and I was loving it. It is non denominational and I was doing a bible study and just enjoyed it so much. I was learning about faith and going in the right direction. Then I became ill with hyperacusis and tinnitus. Hyperacusis is extreme sensitivity to sound in which the sound of water is bothersome and even the rustling of a plastic bag. Driving, shopping showering, I mean everything hurt. It hurts to hear. My whole life was put on hold as well as being frustrated and scared. Tinnitus is ringing in the ears or noised that u hear can change moment by moment. I saw I was slowly losing my faith as time has gone on. It's been 7 months now. I dabbled in the bible here and there but recently just completely stopped. I want to believe that I can be heeled and get through this, but my negative thoughts and words have taken over. I am beginning to see I cannot do this without God. But I need support and help to get there. I no longer go to church because it's way to loud. I basically am housebound and just go to dr appointments.
I am hoping to get to know some people that can be supportive in this journey through Christian Oasis.

That must be so very difficult.
How old is this house you're living in? Or where you or are you around asbestos?
