If anyone remembers all the dental work I needed done uhhhhhhh three years ago and never went back and ran away forever…I’m finally going back to a dentist on Thursday to restart the process and face my deep and utter abiding terror. And I also scheduled my COVID and flu vaccines for a couple hours later. And my psych appointment to restart meds.
I figured get it all done in one day, have my miserable immune reaction on Friday that I seem to always get with Moderna COVID shots, and then flee directly into the weekend and never be a person again except when I’m on and off crying. It’s going to be so kind to future me to get these things done and I can do it no matter how much I feel like I am constantly about to Actually Physically Die.
#you can see why I’m restarting meds#my brain is constantly convincing me that my teeth are about to actually finish rotting out of my mouth and I probably have an abscess#already that is going to give me a jaw or heart infection#which is VERY unlikely#and that my dog is deeply sick and I should rehome her and give her to someone who’ll take proper care of her and isn’t me#yadda yadda#it’s been fucking miserable#the only good part is 1) I’m going to get the worst part over with (starting the process) and#2) even if I completely flee and refuse to go back I’ll have one dental cleaning at least helping with plaque buildup and stuff#this is so fucking EMBARRASSING it’s all so EMBARASSING#it shouldn’t be this hard for me and I know it’s irrational#I’m just so scared because it’s so triggering for me for NO REASON and#I KNOW that this time when we get to the multiple fillings and at least one root canal and also my impacted wisdom teeth that it’ll be#different and I won’t go un-numb or if I do again they’ll have better checks in place for when I panic lie to their faces#but it doesn’t help#and I’m so sure they’re gonna tell me I need three or more root canals because I’ve waited way way too long#and I STILL can’t consistently keep up with brushing and flossing#which is the most embarassing and shameful thing in the world and I KNOW#but I’m scared shitless of all of it and it’s all a sensory nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!#anyway I’m not going to be okay later this week and I’m not particularly okay now#so if I’m not around online much#that’s why#but I’m happy news Aoife and I are having some lovely walks this week and she’s very cute and snuggly and we played tug a lot of times yest#*yesterday and she also stayed sniffing a bush while a bike went past two feet away#instead of getting startled and needing to hop or bark at it and then calm down#I’m so proud of her#and I wouldn’t be able to do this at all without my very kind partner who spearheaded scheduling the dentist (and researching places)#after my jaw pain nervous breakdown last week#health#personal

My shop is now live! :) Currently it's digital commissions only, any physical items will be added much later. Feel free to take advantage of the prices as they're now, as I'll have to raise them in May due to my living circumstances needing to change!
Here's some quick examples of what you can currently find in the shop:
Please consider reblogging if you can! This would help a lot to spread the word! :)
#online shop#decided to open it a little early because of so many looming expenses#not just the move itself and that I need to get a lot of furniture and stuff#also Bats needs a dental asap which will cost who knows how much after the recent raise in vet fees#and my savings keep dwindling </3#so every help is much appreciated!#be it reblogs or actual purchases#time to get to workkkkkk!!#pet portrait#digital#commission#commissions#oc#not my oc

sawyer was sick over the weekend so we got some blood tests done and it turns out she is diabetic, she stayed at the vet a couple of nights, it was really strange to be alone in my room those nights. i spend more time with her than anybody. then we were supposed to pick her up thursday morning and they said to come in the evening instead because her glucose was v low. the vet asked me to find a glucose sensor to bring with me that evening, it was a public holiday so i had to find a pharmacy that was actually open. when we went to get her we waited 90 minutes and the sensor was being weird so they said come back later. finally brought her back home at 11pm and the sensor still wasn't working, had to go buy another sensor and bring her back this morning to switch them out, had to leave her there for a few hours so they could switch them and make sure the new one worked, then come back in the afternoon. i've had like no sleep at all this week, its a miracle i kept my eyes open to get training to give her insulin. she's so much better since she came home, even though she's not stabilised yet she very clearly feels heaps better ❤ it was such a relief to have her sleeping on my bed again last night. i was still up all night because i felt like i needed to keep an eye on her because i didn't have the monitor. we'll be in and out a lot over the next couple of weeks while they fine tune her dosage and monitor her levels.
#i want to know when i get a break#had planed to use this week to catch up on the prof development course i enrolled in months ago that started the day before nonna passed#i hoped it would be a chance to really apply my mind to something because i feel like my brain is utterly degenerated#after the time i took off this week for this i won't be able to do any of it before it closes i'll just have to download the modules#and read them in my own time without doing any activities/participating in discussions#have to keep canceling my dental check up because things keep coming up#i've also spent the last few weeks trying to link my online tax account to my government services account but it says all my info is wrong#no matter what i give them#what do i need to do#my life updates are so miserable. i delete so many of the posts i start because they just depress me#i deleted two earlier this week#feel like i need to get something out so i keep coming back to try#i still haven't asked hr about whether we have that counselling service thing because i keep forgetting bc i always have so much to catch u#on#i'll try to remember to do it next week#tp

Absolutely criminal that vision insurance is separate from medical..
#dental too but that's a complaint for another day#gonna get an occlusion contact lens but my options are either get a black costume lens from a shady online seller ($30)..#or special order one that looks normal from an optician ($???.?? but likely several hundred bc it's considered a prosthetic)#i hope I'm wrong though lol

as any new experiences are about to approach all of you in this fall season, whether it’s work, studies or anything else, make sure to tune and check in with yourself to not forget your being as a human with needs and wants. daily reminders for your emotional, physical and mental well being will pay off more than anything, especially more than letting yourself slip away.

People love to pay a monthly premium for insurance and not know how to use it. God bless, you are all so stupid
#no your medical insurance is not dental insurance#it would be sosososo nice if they were the same thing#and sometimes they are#but often they are not#you should familiarize yourself with your coverage#and you should absolutely find out if the dentist you booked online bc it’s nearby is actually in network#you should also do this more than 2 hours before the appointment#I have opinions

Wonderful news, after a month of flossing almost every day, my gums are finally no longer bleeding every time I floss!! 😃
#speculation nation#which online says it should only take a week or two. but! i have gingivitis.#so a month is kinda expected BUT ALSO im genuinely happy that i do seem to be making progress#i hate flossing. but my dentist was like 'if you dont improve your dental habits you Will be losing teeth'#so like okayyyyyy ive been flossing most days and i got a tooth paste for shitty gums and ive been using a fluoride rinse#and the gum pockets aka how deep my gums go next to my teeth are still pretty deep#but stopping bleeding when i floss is the first sign of improvement. i will get healthier gums!!!#just need to keep the habit up. i swear i will show up to my next dentist appointment and get such a good grade#they'll congratulate me and tell me i did such a good job and then probably give me invisalign. and/or a tooth cap lol#both are things they mentioned at the last appointment. for things to do after i improved my gum health.#tooth cap for my tooth that is like a third just filling. bc i broke the tooth years back eating a sour patch kid lol#one of my molars. one of the four prong things just done broke off. prong is the wrong word but ya kno#anyways i have marvelously terrible dental health despite having been pretty good about brushing for a few years now#such is my lot in life. it's genetics. oh well it's getting better and that's what matters.

looking up/calling several dental offices to figure out who can help while in a lot of pain and running on very little sleep is a -1000/10 experience
#the list online to show which places are covered by my insurance is not as helpful as one might think it would be#the lovely combo of severe anxiety I’ve been dealing with this year + preexisting dental phobia is GREAT#god must truly hate me to do this to me this week

I do not like having to go to the DMV… I do not like it at all.
#pardon my insanity#this has been a week of facing things that I do not like#large and busy airports (kudos to CVG for getting me through TSA real fast and making that part nearly pain-free though)#all the *escalators* in said airport#(I get severe vertigo on escalators… I do not like them -especially going down)#(this was actually the first time I’ve managed to get on a downward escalator since before Covid lockdowns)#went to the dentist for something a little more invasive than a typical checkup less than two hours after getting home Monday…#…the dentist made the airport seem like a cake walk#(usually not fearful of the dentist… but that’s the first time I’ve had to have novocaine shot in my cheeks and that was weird)#and then the DMV was such a pain yesterday (and online instructions prior to were different than there so I had to leave and come back)#…DMV successfully made Monday’s dental procedure feel easy!#and now tomorrow I have to wrangle my cat who is terrified of the vet *back* there because five weeks and her ear infection won’t go away#and listen to her hyperventilate and try to dig her way out of the carrier the whole drive up (which scares the ever-loving crap out of me)#she does that on Gabapentin too -it’s that bad

americans online make a joke about britain without being classist challenge
#not about anything in particular dw. just see a lot of jokes online about our teeth and our food when like. there's reasons for that shit yk#dental care isn't covered by the nhs. fish and chip shops first appealed to the working class. wetherspoons appeals to the working class#colloquialisms people make fun of usually stem from the north which has typically in the past few decades been more working class#idk dude. just think twice about who you're insulting sometimes#the elite can be mocked all you like. tea can be mocked. weather can be mocked#maybe drop the british working class stereotype from your online comedy routine#albatross rambles

the nhs is free at the point of use for all 🥰🥰🥰🥰 what? you have teeth? fuck you. nah fuck you for real get out 👊😤
#a couple of weeks ago I called 3 or 4 dental practices and none of them were accepting nhs patients lol not even children#got mugged off by a private dentist that made me pay in advance online then they cancelled my appointment like a week before#and told me to ring them so I did and asked for a refund they said I had to go there and do a paper form 😭

I would love to have an actual swim suit for the first time in 7 years, but it has been impossible to find a swimsuit that will both give me support and keep my boobs from popping out if I try to do anything but sunbathe
#One-pieces? No support whatsoever and have to fit the proportions of my whole body#Bikini tops? Held together with dental floss and have no coverage#Could I just have one built like a bra and not like a big necklace made of tissue paper?#Even the ones with underwire and padding have no back to them only string#The tankinis I've found aren't much better and usually don't have support#I'm also trying to find both winter boots and dress shoes right now#Don't get me started on trying to find extra wide women's shoes ESPECIALLY when they're not uber basic sneakers#At least shoes I'm more willing to buy online I am NOT buying a swimsuit without trying it on
