Wisdom Teeth Removal and Overstimulation
Hello, I am a 28 year old that got my wisdom teeth out 3 days ago. I was quite scared of both the procedure, but mainly the healing process. The procedure itself went fine, but now 3 days into healing, and I am in my own personal hell. Because of the swelling and pain, I am in a constant state of overstimulation that is progressively getting worse. This is not helped by the fact that I can not really leave the house to go on a car ride, which usually helps me. The pain medication helps some. However, it makes me drowsy and gives me bad brain fog.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, how long did it last? I know the healing process can take up to 2 weeks, and I dont know how doable that is in my current state.
I am also worried because on Monday (2 days from now) I have to return to work yo a very overstimulating setting. I am worried this will compound on top of my current feelings and lead to a big meltdown. I have been able to stay away from a large meltdown for years, but I definitely feel like im headed for one. Any assistance would be immensely appreciated.
