About two years ago, some MRI technicians gave me faulty headphones and blew my ears out. Everything sounds kinda muffled now, loud sounds hurt, my ears won’t stop ringing, and there isn’t any treatment that works for me. BPD has always made it hard for me to deal with any kind of stress, and the discomfort from the tinnitus and the lack of pleasure from music or asmr is more than I can handle. 

I am NOT looking for treatment for my symptoms; I have already spoken with world-class experts, and they can’t help me. What I’m looking for is tips on staving off tantrums and screaming fits and meltdowns. I worry that if I don’t find a way to manage the pain and the stress soon enough, I’m going to get violent.
