Me: °~*~°

My Brain: is it anxiety or is it a heart attack?!?

"Cracking of my knuckles, against my neck. My jaw, leaking matter."

[itwasntaphase]

Strange Sensations I crave:

1: taking my spine out and wringing it real good so it cracks every area and helps the pain (fuck scoliosis)

2: taking my eyes out and putting them into a glass of cold water (refreshing for dry eye)

3: Take my skin off and give it a very good scrubbing and moisturizing (no more itchy eczema)

4: taking my brain out and deep cleaning it then soaking it in an ice bath (I'm convinced this would cure my migraines)

5: Scratching behind my eyes (they are often itchy)

7: eating my many pica cravings without it causing issues (i.e. sand, foaming soap, decorative bar soap)

8: taking my muscles apart and soaking each one in a warm bath and then giving it a deep massage (bye bye achy body)

9: Pulling my sinuses out and rinsing them thoroughly (I think it would help my allergies)

10: removing my bottom jaw to give me a break from my TMJ for a while (self-explanatory)

Please reblog this and add yours so I know I'm not crazy in wanting these things. My therapist says these are symptoms from my OCD so that's fun.

I noticed a while ago that I was having some sort of muscular dysfunction with my jaw and unconsciously wrenching it open, sometimes at weird angles, while both awake and asleep. I have no idea why, it's like inverse TMJ and was causing downstream problems. it might just be a response to jaw and mouth crowding, which I have very badly. I can breathe fine and don't snore though, so I don't think airway issues are the cause. while my jaw was hanging open for long periods my teeth would move around slightly so that I'd wake up with a weird bite, too. which is common for collagen disorder people, the teeth thing

anyway after mulling this over I just started putting an ace bandage or a headband or a Korean jaw compression mask on my head and mandible when I go to sleep. and that both helps a lot and seems to squish edema out of my lower face and neck while I sleep, so win-win, and prevents my mouth from drying out at night (which is real bad for yojr teeth). just lying here in my weird mummy wraps and devices and thought I would mention it

Almost cried at Olive Garden yesterday

(cw eating issues/TMJ)

I rarely go out to eat, but my client wanted to go. I almost didn't order anything since pasta and soup are a pain to eat with a mask, and everything else was too chewy/large/crunchy, etc. (Even salad was out since the greens are too thin for me to chew right now 😩)

I asked the server if I could get the spinach dip and substitute the flatbread crisps for something softer. She didn't get it so I said I have TMJ, and she suggested I use the bread sticks. I was a bit deflated since that bread is really chewy, but planned on just taking it home and eating it with a spoon or wrapping a slice of bread in a moist paper towel and microwaving it (sad TMJ hack, lol).

But the server came out with a big smile, saying that she'd worked there for 14 years, and had never seen the cook like this. She'd told him what I said, and he cut up the flatbread into small pieces and focused on cooking it just enough to be as soft as possible so I wouldn't have to open my mouth too wide or chew too much.

It seems so fucking silly, but that little bit of kindness almost had me tearing up in front of my client.

I was a bartender for 6 years, and I know how annoying/inconvenient it can be when customers ask for unusual things.

But I am so grateful to all the servers, cooks, etc. that take a couple minutes to make existing in this world just a little less shitty 🖤🙏

PSA to get a nighttime mouthguard if you grind your teeth or clench your jaw. Mine causes me so much pain, but I wore my night guard for the first time last night and holy crap I woke up and my jaw didn't hurt.

sucked his dick again and my jaw has been sore for 48 hours its a sad state of affairs
