Well after not much sleep and can barely eat I'm so nervous.  My appt. with the dentist is in about 1/2 hour and I am shaking like a leaf right now on the inside.  I took an extra anti-anxiety pill.  I've looked at the spot in my mouth about 10 times in the last hour since getting up.  I thank you all for your support and advice.  I did print out a couple CBT worksheets and began trying to work on them (easier said than done).  I just hope I don't break down crying in the dentist office.  I would be so embarrassed.  Here I am a 51 year old and crying like a baby.  Yikes.

I know that it is so hard to go in!!

I have appointments that I need to make, but am dragging my feet big time.


You have taken the first steps, so go in and 'get her done' now as they say.
You will feel so much better after, and I am sure that there is nothing wrong, such as you fear.

Know that we are going with you in spirit with lots of support.

Let us know how it went later, okay?

Hugs and high fives.:)

Thank you S.C.  I'll take you all along in spirit.  I'm leaving in a few minutes.  I hope, really hope, that this fear/anxiety goes away after I see the dentist.  I'm still VERY afraid he is going to tell me since the spot has not gone away that there might be something there.  I don't know whether to tell him about my irrational horrible healthy anxiety I've had since midweek last week or not.  I'll see how it goes.  Will catch up with you all later.  Keep me in your thoughts as I face this fear.

You are going to be just fine, and so what if you do cry, at least the dentist will know this has been bothering you more than a little and he can make sure he knows what hes talking about. Please get back to us asap
we really do care and yes we worry about our people! Peace

By now I hope you got some good news, that you do not have any need to worry, and that it is just a harmless sore or something like that.

I am sorry I was not here before you left but I know by now you will have the info from the dentist and I am thinking positive so I will be waiting to hear the good news.

Remember you can cry when your happy too.  If I had a dollar for every time I broke down at the clinic you and I could go on a whole day shopping spree.  Wish I was there to hold your hand.

Hugs,

Kitt

Thank you for the kind thoughts and support.  I will continue to carry you all in spirit with me as I go to the oral surgeon this afternoon.  I guess one thing I am doing is having to face my most dreaded of all fears head on today, that being dental phobia to the max.  I have to be put out to have even a filling done and cleanings are no piece of cake either.
