I can't even put how I'm feeling into words right now.
I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder as well as a pretty serious fear of the dentist due to an unpleasant experience I had as a child.
I've been reading over the site and urghh I have so many of the common fears lists.
I just got a phone call that I need to have all 4 of my teeth taken out and googled everything that can go wrong (stupid move).
This is the worst time I'm jobless and trying but not finding work, my Grandpa is in the hospital, I moved back home, and have to take care of my grandma. Its just too much.
Here are main fears I really just need to rant to someone who may understand but if can help that would be great too!!
1. Pain- I don't have good pain tolerance and have never had surgery before so I have no idea what to expect.
2. Pills- I read they give you some pretty hardcore pain meds, I can't swallow pills and don't think this is the best time to try to learn.
3. Losing Control- I've never had anesthesia before and while I obviously don't want to know what is going on the though of being out of it and not in control scares me. I also have this long running fear of being aware but unable to tell people that I am aware while under.
4. Not Eating- I constantly teeter between being in the normal to underweight BMI category. If I have to live on liquids for a few days and can't even eat my safe foods I don't know what the consequences will be.
I am currently having no pain or other problems with my teeth.
After getting this call I'm shaking and can't stop crying I have no idea how I am going to survive until and including the surgery.
its just too much for me and i'd honestly rather just live with the consequences of not going
I know that's a horrible attitude but I just can't do this.
Sorry if I sound horrible and whiney I just hope you know where I'm coming from thank you for reading this mess.
