Long story short my parents are antivaxxers and told me I’m signing my life away by getting my second covid dose tomorrow. They’re narcissistic conservative parents who have given me tinnitus from all the stress of them telling me I’m going to die within a year. I didn’t have anxiety for 3 years straight but my parents made it come back and worse than ever before. The tinnitus has not gone away in what feels like a lifetime but has only been a week. I break down crying randomly, question if I’m turning into a monster, but I understand I have (to an extent) some power over the anxiety. I’m in my last year of University and will be moving away from this toxic environment soon after. Happier days are ahead and I intend to see it through. 

*anyone with anxiety/stress induced tinnitus I’d love to hear how you cope with it!
