Teeth brushing is a routine I've always struggled so badly to keep up with due to unmedicated adhd and autism sensory issues, I've been a little better about it in recent years and amazingly got the all-clear last year from the dentist even though I hadn't been to one since I was a kid.

But only 6 months later... I apparently need 5 fill-ins in my front teeth because of some minor decay (which apparently they noticed the signs of last time but said everything was fine? For some reason?)

I genuinely can't stop crying about it. This disorder has taken everything from me, I wasn't able to finish school, I can't work, I don't often have motivation for hobbies, I can barely even go outside, and now I have to have 5 whole fill-ins because apparently I'm not allowed to have the ability to take care of myself properly either. I feel so ashamed of myself and hopeless. I wish I could just be normal. 😞
