just getting ready for work. anxious about work, too, i don't think there will be enough work for me to do today.

and we are supposed to go out to lunch today, me and my department, and i'm nervous about my denture slipping (even though we have done this before, with no problems).

and i still have that desire to scream, yelling for someone to help me. i do feel so all alone in my anxiety, even though i know there are others here who have it much worse.

that's all for me today.

love,
rich

display,

Have you tried keeping a journal of your feelings so you can look back to see what triggers your anxiety?

I am going to post a link from our resources and perhaps if you try this with time you will understand what you main triggers are.

How Keeping a Journal Can help you with Anxiety

Sending hugs to you. I hope the lunch went ok. I find keeping a journal very helpful - it's a way of getting all the feelings out. Sometimes my writing is neat, other times it's a scrawl or in capitals because I'm venting but overall I find it really helps me.

I think I'm still really confused about your 'denture.'

Didn't you have work done for implants, and get your 'final fitting?'

If the 'denture' you refer to is secured by implants, that sucker isn't going anywhere.

If I've misunderstood and you haven't had your 'final fitting' and you're wearing regular dentures that come out (I have full uppers and lowers, so I get it), then use Poligrip or Fixodent. They're great adhesives.

And just be careful.

If I tried to eat without adhesives, my dentures would slip and slide a little....I use adhesive every single day. Works wonders. It's not meant for a backup but to be used each time to keep food particles out.

Are you not utilizing the benefits of adhesive?

Or, (again,...bear with my confusion),...do you have implants and thus a fixed denture plate?

Hi Rich, no one who knows me would believe I once had social
anxiety, one day I was crying about having to make a presentation and I looked in the mirror, my first thought was,
I look like a spoiled baby, I made a chuckle, then I burst out
laughing at myself being afraid of such things. its like this if something happens no one would laugh at you, they would laugh
with you. "we seem to take ourselves too serious, life is pretty
funny". Hope you have a good time. Peace

Merrida,

thanks for caring. i was supposed to have my final fitting for denture with implants last week, but it was postponed due to the dentist not being ready. they are bringing in a "consultant' from the denture makers to help make sure i get a good fit.

i definitely use adhesive daily and am able to eat some semi-hard foods.

love,
rich
