Hello forum!
Got home from a stressful last month of art school a while ago... thought I had a bacterial stomach infection with how much my bowels had changed in that last month. Talked to my doctor then, and discovered it's most likely stress-induced IBS.
IBS!!!!
Medicated for a genetic anxiety disorder and depression since forever, my body reacting to stress this way is a first.
Thought the trouble was finally over when I finished my program and moved out of student housing, back to my hometown... boy oh boy, the lighting in my childhood bathroom is certainly great. Opened my mouth to discover one of my fillings totally cracked. Absolutely devastated.
Been at the bf's this last week to catch up and de-stress, my body had other plans. More IBS, now with accompanying midnight nausea. Fought it off for a few nights, actually threw up one night... been eased with gravol since. Tooth getting worse.
I have an appointment tomorrow. My tooth is metallic tasting and sensitive as ever right now. Infection maybe according to internet? I hope to god it's not too bad and I can leave the office with a simple procedure planned within the week.
Sedation dentistry has been a godsend, I'm so so so fucking grateful I have that option. Going to ask them to really up the laughing gas for me this time around. When it comes time for a procedure that is... I'm going in tomorrow without sedation for a checkup... my brain is an absolute wreck right now. I hope to god it will go smoothly.
Of course on top of this I start my period today too... that always makes me emotionally touchy. Hope hope hope I wont stress bawl at the dentist tomorrow.
Or have too much stress gas.
Or get too stress nauseous.
Or god forbid have a bout of constipation-diarrhea.
I cant wait for this to just be over. Dont know what food I'll be able to even get down before I go in for a procedure. Stress is absolutely ruthless.
