I just learnt a sore tooth of mine is caused by my tooth root never fully closing (due to getting braces and shifting my teeth around). Now at 30 I need a root canal.
I’ve never even had a cavity before. I’m legit terrified. Teeth are the one thing that are much worse than nails on chalkboard for me.
How was your experience been? Any words of advice or words of encouragement? I could use it :(
Good choice on DS9 haha. My imagination is hard to control so I might have to be on something because the sounds, smells, and vibrations all blend together and cause me absolute terror haha
When it comes to those thoughts a wise woman once told me let the bear eat you. Just let the anxiety wash over you and know you will come out the other side.
What does it mean to let anxiety wash over you in this context? Like accept and embrace it and be all “fuck yeah I’m anxious! I’m Awesome Noisy Xtreme Iguana Outstanding Uvula Supercool!!!”?
Kinda it’s kind of like you have this fear and your mind is racing with what if’s. By letting it yourself accept that your anxious and that’s okay lets your limbic system run through the fear hormones. You’ve already generated but doesn’t create more. It takes a little bit of time for that feeling to go away. So try not too go down the spiral of its not working i must be doing it wrong. It’s kinda like giving yourself a hug and the anxiety washes away.
