So, am I actually retarded?
| Sorry for making this thread. I've just been really stressed out and this was my main way of coping with my hypersensitivity and calming down.
| The only other way I deal with stress is nicotine, and cancer does not seem fun, so I don't want to smoke a pack a day just to cope with existence. It would also make me feel like shit, so, yeah, fuck that.
| I guess tldr:
My headset is broken and now I'm sad because music and podcasts is one of the few things that help me stay sane.
| Damn gurl can u order one online rn? I have the same problem. The left earpiece for my headset is busted and it's driving me insane. So now i use an old one that i still have but literally it's so old that the wires are poking through. Sorry you have to go through this gurl.

I could if I had money, but it takes months for things to be delivered here right now because of COVID, and shipping has become insanely expensive because of Brexit. The only alternative I have would be my earbuds, but they're the $0.5 type earbuds that have no sounds quality, no isolation and fall out constantly. Sound isolation is part of what makes having a headset so important for me, so, yeah. I'm sorry to hear you're in a similar situation.
| I'm gonna try to borrow a headset from a family member or something. I'm not sure if I can though. Everyone only has one headset, and the only person with a good one is my dad, who almost never lets others use his stuff, even if he doesn't use it himself. I actually think he might have multiple headsets, or at least a headset and some high quality earbuds, but, yeah. I guess I'll just hope for the best.
| Best of luck to u OP. U can continue to vent here or maybe let us know if things get better. *shoulderpats*

Thanks. I'm pretty sure the issue is temporarily resolved for now, so I was literally just freaking out over nothing.
| No you're perfectly cognitively able.

| My cord to my headset stopped function properly. Like, tons of static and only sounds in one ear and shit, and I might get a fucking panic attack from it. I get very easily overwhelmed with stimuli, like sounds and shit, so not being able to block out shit like that whenever I need it drives me crazy, and I can often get very in my head and depressed when I'm forced to be alone with my thoughts. I don't know what to do. The thought of living everyday life without that is fucked.
