Keep on Keepin' on...

I haven't posted here in a while. I've been busy lately.... in a good way though. For one, I'm working as many hours as my work will allow so that I can afford all of my new expenses. Shopping?? Traveling?? hahaha -- definitely not. I get to spend my extra money on health and dental insurance, copays for therapy sessions, root canals, and making payments on my student loans. Gosh I love being an adult! I can't complain too much though because things, overall, have gotten better in my life lately. 

My psychiatrist explained to me that I am, indeed, suffering from air hunger, which is stemming from anxiety. Although it is still hard to convince myself that I'm actually creating my breathing problem, it makes me feel a little better that there is a specific label for my symptoms. Also, my therapist taught me some really cool exercises to fight anxiety and they seem to be working.... most of the time ("works 60% of the time, all the time"-- name that movie).  AND on top all that, it looks like I am going to be able to have iv sedation and sleep my way through my dental procedures. The down side-- it's going to cost an arm and a leg-- but its worth it for my sanity. I can make payments :)

I don't think anyone is actually reading my blog, but I will continue to write. Someone is bound to stumble upon it, and I like sharing my opinions and feelings for anyone who cares to hear them.

Sad Day...

My right back bottom molar officially cracked and my tooth is falling out in pieces. AHHHHH!!!! I've been putting off dentist visits for, ohh, about five years now, but I can put them off no longer. Ugh. If you are unaware, I am terrified of the dentist. Absolutely, completely, whole-heartedly, devastatingly, TERRIFIED of all dental facilities. I know, I'm 23 years old, but everyone has their fear--- their BIG fear-- and this is mine. 

I was going to post a picture-- of a dentist or something-- but just the picture alone would make me tear up, so I couldn't.

Wish me luck :(
