PART 1 : The Beginning
O.k.
I am 22 years of age and have not seen the dentist since middle school. It has probably been more than 10 years. I live in the united states.
I am extremely scared, nervous, depressed, and regretful that I have not seen the dentist in so long. I have lurked on this forum for a couple days with tears running down my face. I have been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and even having a blood test made me freak out.
I know that soon I will have to go through cavity fillings, wisdom teeth extraction, and other things that I can't really comprehend unless I start crying. I feel lost and really emotional to the point where I just don't care anymore. My first dental appointment is either next Friday or next Tuesday and I feel so lost. I don't know what to do, how to cope, or how I will feel during it. My mom is trying to reassure me everything will be okay but it's hard to do when I have never had a surgery or other things happen to me like that.
I know I will be super emotional and nervous. I will end up crying at the appointment I can already feel it.
UPDATE #1

I tried to have my mom switch the appointments so I could get the earlier date, which was tomorrow, but all they could do was push the later date one day forward, which is next tuesday. I just wanted to get this done and over with.
