wayyy tmi but I haven’t been to the dentist in well over a year (parents stopped being able to legally compel me as a minor and no fucking way would I make myself) and I was just thinking I should look into scheduling an appointment to make sure I don’t have cavities or whatever because Ive spent a lot of time recently fixated on being extremely anxious about that for no particular reason but I’m literally crying just thinking about going. this is great!

#literally why am I so scared of the dentist? it’s deeply deeply unpleasant and uncomfortable but I’ve literally never had a cavity #even when at my most mentally ill when oral hygiene was like at the bottom of the list of priorities I never had any serious actual problems #but I spend literally insane amounts of time almost throwing up out of anxiety over my fucking teeth and not having had a check up #certainly isn’t helping. when I do eventually go in (and I think the place I was going to fucking shut down so like. good luck me!) I will #be an actual wreck for a week or more beforehand. nonzero chance I’ll literally brush my teeth LESS because I’m paralyzed with fear at the #reminder of the dentist. yay!!!!!#no clue if/how to tag this. lmk if I should change something.#medical #speaking #text
