Pity party for wisdom tooth recovery
OCD & Related Behaviors / by sadcat13

...See more Hey all, lot of whining about wisdom tooth removal and surgery ahead (possibly some health OCD too), please be mindful of your triggers and do not read if you are sensitive to this kind of stuff, especially medical and dental triggers ahead🌻 I had my wisdom tooth removed a week ago and I'm still not doing great. The surgery was not a simple one, my tooth was laying horizontally and refused to get out. Even despite slicing it up, my dentist who is a very very skilled dental surgeon lost a few instruments due to the sheer force of my stubborn tooth refusing to be removed. I have a terrible diet that is not exactly rich in dairy, I have genuinely no idea how I got some iron bones and teeth but apparently I do. Anyway. It took around an hour to fish it all out. I got my preventative antibiotics and a strong painkiller prescribed and went home. The first few days sucked. I had a very swollen face and kept obsessively checking the wound, panicking at every change. I actually ended up having a panic run to the dentist to have it checked but everything was ok. On top of that, med panic, inability to eat properly and not being able to have hot/warm food or drinks really sucked. I didn't have a good time. With time I dropped the painkiller when the pain became on the tolerable side, since they are very strong and gave me a bit of devouring issues. It's been a week now since the procedure and we took out the stitches today. I'm still not ok and need a week for the wound to properly heal. I'm still experiencing some pain, swelling and discomfort and I'm so tired of it. Only difference is that now my swelling is mostly on the inside, causing me to bite my cheek. Yay. I nap a lot and am absolutely drained by the recovery. I still don't do too well with the warm stuff what is making me upset. I want hot food. And I want to wash my hair but the hairdryer has hot air that would not do well with my swelling. Only time I liven up a bit is in the eve. But in general, feeling extremely exhausted. I wanna do stuff but I can't. I am just too tired and weak to do it or the movement required causes me pain. I'm so tired of this. I want this all to be over already. And worst is, I have two more wisdom teeth to fish out. The firstone was a fast and quite simple case, top jaw that is easier to avoid moving in the recovery. I thought we will get the other top one out this time, but my dentist suggested doing the bottom right one because that was the most urgent based on the rtg. All of my close family shares the same dentist, and when my dad went in for his appointment that happened to be a day after mine, and the dentist showed him my rtg and explained to him everything about my procedure. Turns out, my tooth was so bad it was actually pressuring my nerve. I had no idea, as it was not giving me any pain except rotating out the tooth next to it that occasionally scratched up my tongue. Also, turns out the other wisdom tooth on the bottom has an inflammation (it's not the dangerous kind as wisdom teeth are a bit special but it needs to go out next). I wanted to get them all out anyway during this and the next year, but I really am not having a good time. I know they will sooner or later need to go out and I can pretty much choose to do it now on my terms or later with a lot of issues and not having a choice and that's why I'm choosing now. It just sucks. My OCD is making it even harder and more exhausting and I really really really hope it will already heal and I can be back to functioning like a normal person. Sorry for the rant, I'm just really exhausted by both my recovery and my OCD. And even more exhausted by just thinking about having to do it two more times.

I'm useless

...See more I'm useless. I work a half time job at almost 24, living with parents and having little to no independence. I see all the people who are my age or younger living to the fullest, working, studying, travelling, getting engaged, moving in with their partners and having a good time. And then there is me. I hate this so hard. I can't climb out of it no matter how hard I try. I feel useless. Worthless. And I hate myself so hard for it all. If I only tried harder. Fought harder. Maybe it could be me. But it isn't. And I'm just stuck being useless. With no life skills and independence. With no energy at all and a *** health. Anyone else on the same boat? :(

...See more A lot of us know a random piece of specific information that we can't really do anything with, but still are very proud of and cant wait to get an opportunity to share it with others. Mine is that sunflowers are used to help clean up soil contaminated by radiation as they have the ability to take up the toxic and radioactive materials from the soil and store it in their tissue. 🌻🌻🌻 How about you? What is your favourite useless fun fact? 😊 @tinywhisper11 @Heathermarie95 @Kristynsmama @LoveMyMoonflowers @Sunisshiningandsoareyou @WeEarth @Georginahowe @kylersartpace
