Thank you guys a lot for your posts.
This noise in my head. I know this may sound crazy, but I don't know if it is sound or not. And it's not exactly like a ringing, it's just like this ever present baseline grind. Sometimes it's most definately worse than other times, if I am stressed, pre-occupied or pre-panic attack it gets overwhelming. It's also very very tiring.
It seems like though, the more I progress in therapy, the quieter it gets (making me think it is more emotional than physiological), until finally, it just went away for a few moments and that silence was stark against the previous noise.
And it was like I told my T, it may have even just been about listening.
I mean I could be finally simply allowing myself to hear things other than the din in my head - nice things like birds and the wind. I don't know, but I can say that I have never really heard it (or felt it) before - Just how nice a bird can sound a winter's day.
