Dental Implant Theme
Hi! Unfortunately, last night I got so anxious about my recent dental implants. The intrusive thoughts were racing. For context, a little over a week ago, I got a dental implant placed. This is something that I have wanted for a long time and it was a process to get to (extraction, bone graft, healing). We were finally here and the procedure went great.
Fast forward to last night, my brain decided to tell me “you know that can’t come out, right”. This led to me having massive panic. My brain started saying I should rip it out. I tried to calm myself down by meditating, telling myself that I wanted this so bad, and of course that it could be taken out if thats really what I wanted (but it’s not). I ended up having to take my Xanax and knock myself out because the intrusive thoughts were so bad. Today, I woke up and they are back. I am just hopeful this is not a new theme presenting itself.
Overall, I just needed somewhere to put this because anyone that doesn’t suffer like us would never understand. I know how ridiculous it sounds and I’m the one living it.
