I think I'm done

I've been failed at every possible point regarding TMJ for the last 2 years.

I've had dental negligence lead to losing a molar which fucked my bite.

Ive then spent £250 on a nightguard that didn't even fit. £300 on a nightguard that only my molars touch and i was told "yeah that's normal". £2000 on a TMJ specialist who shaved my teeth down and just fucked me up even more. Hundreds of pounds on at home impression kits and boil bite guards which did nothing, I've been on multiple different medications to try and stop it hurting. Ive tried physical therapy. I've tried so hard to fix this and i still have absolutely no answers or reasons.

I'm just fucking done.

I don't go a day without pain across my jaw like I've been laughing at a comedy show for 10 fucking hours straight.

I don't have a single area where I can eat without being in pain from sensitivity or pressure pain.

I cant just go to bed without thinking about how the proceeding sleep is going to fuck me up more.

I literally don't see a point in my life where this gets better so what's the fucking point.
