I thought I'd make a journal to keep my posts together. I'm going to use it to vent out my feelings and worries. So, you've be forewarned.
Yesterday I did something I'd never thought I'd do and I made an appointment at a dentist. The practice I've chosen looks good, and I've got an appointment on October 18th I'm trying not to think about it so much but I can't relax. I need a way to take my mind off it. I feel nauseous and nervous all the time. I felt shaky all day. Anyone got any tips on trying to calm down? I can't spend the next two and a half weeks like this.
This will be the first time that I've gone to a dentist since I was about 5 or 6 years old and I'm now 21. I've only been twice in my life before. I remember that he was nice, and I never had any problems, but I feel so anxious and worried about going to see one after 15 years of not seeing one. Pair that with a family who doesn't care about their teeth, and I am extremely worried that I'm going to end up with no teeth by the time I'm 22. I've got it in my head that my teeth are going to be the worse they've ever seen. But I know they won't be. I take care of the best I can and they're clean, and I never have any major problems. The only thing that's worrying me is my wisdom teeth, they are coming in, two have slightly come through, and one is trying to come through on the bottom, but they make my whole head hurt. I've been trying to make myself go to one since I was about 18 but my mental health got worse in the past three years, but I've got to the point where I know I need to go to one.
I'm terrified that I'm going to made to feel embarrassed because of the state my teeth are in, and I have no idea what's going to happen.
Sorry if it's a bit incoherent
