Pity party for wisdom tooth recovery

OCD & Related Behaviors / by sadcat13

17 minutes ago

...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.

Unloved

General Support / by sensitivePal85266

27 minutes ago

...See more I feel so unloved, like the pain of being alone in this world is too too heavy on me How do I keep going? I'm just so overwhelmed, I've been crying daily for like 3 days now I lost it, I'm not doing anything good, I'm lashing out on others. Whenever I try to make a friend I end up being selfish, and I hurt them I can't make friends, but I still need them. I've been alone almost all of my life, nobody cares about me, how do someone like me function without any of the important feelings that everyone gets? love, kindness, joy, enthusiasm, passion, ambition, humanly connection with others, nostalgia (As I never had good childhood memories, never went to any parks, zoos, oceans, traveling for fun, cinemas, or any of those places that are memorable memories for people in their childhood), and hope. I just wanted a hug for too too long, ever since I was a child, but nobody gave it to me, and now I'm a broken guy reaching adult age, and I will be blamed for my trauma as if I chose this. Unloved by parents, siblings, and everyone else who starts to know me hates me, in one way or another. 2 failed relationships, 1 blocked me, and one cheated on me I tried making a friend here, and I ended up hurting them, and now they dislike me. I wonder when they'll either block me, or use me for being too weak, I just don't think that they'll treat me any well after being this vulnerable to them, especially when they have issues themselves that could lead them to using me, or hurting me, and I understand that. I'm already a failure of becoming a man, and even a human being. Just a narcissistic who pretends to care. And I don't know what to do. Don't even have money for therapy, and I'm too broken to even go into this journey of college and jobs, I can barely survive while I'm with myself. I literally wrote this an hour before a final exam that I barely studied for, I didn't even know what was the subject till I checked it last night. People say that men can show their emotions, but that is a pathetic lie that gets told, just to pretend that we're equal, but nobody actually cares when a guy shows their emotions, unless they have a good amount in their bank account, or I guess a fancy wolf cut, or a six pack.

Good moments 🌈

Positivity & Gratitude / by exuberantBlackberry9105

1 hour ago

...See more hey everyone, i'm creating this space for myself to come to every day, hopefully, and share my good moments. ✨ when i say 'good moment', it doesn't mean i have to feel happy or anything. it could be anything that made me feel a tiny bit better or something that made me feel good for a little bit. it could even be something that happened that's supposed to be good, even if it didn't change how i feel. or if i'm having a particularly bad day, a good moment could be a moment when i just didn't feel that horrific. and of course, it could be a moment when i just somehow magically feel fine for a bit, with no apparent cause. magic, lol. 🪄 i've recently realised that thinking of good moments makes every day feel a tiny bit different, instead of every day feeling the same and having that school, homework, exam, eat, sleep, repeat cycle going on. when i'm depressed and have been for months on end, it's really easy to just see that and forget the good that does occasionally come. perhaps after a while of posting on this thread, i might even be able to go back and read previous good moments when i'm feeling awful. i know that every time i try to feel better and actually get to feeling better, it eventually comes crashing down soon and i feel bad again. but i guess i'll try to feel better anyway by focusing on the good moments. and when i do get to feeling better, i want to make the best of it and use it to get work done, so that the times when it gets bad again don't affect my schoolwork too much. i will really try to come here every day and post something, even if it's very small and seems insignificant, even if i feel like i didn't have anything good happen that day. and if i ever have a miracle day when i have a lot of good moments, i'll try my best to list them all out for me to read on the awful days that follow (somehow my really good days are always followed by some really bad ones, and it sucks). if i ever miss a day of posting, i will try to post that day's good moments the next day. i know that sometimes i will need to mention the bad stuff too here, to be able to explain why something was a good moment, but in general, i will try my best to avoid talking too much about the bad on this thread. thank you, @bestVase7265, for encouraging me to write down my good moments. this idea of yours has been of a lot of help to me. i hope it works well with this thread for posting good moments. feel free to follow along and read whatever good i find every day, and share yours too (only if you'd like to, of course. you can always just stick to our space if you wish). 🤍🤍 anyone else reading this is welcome to share their good moments as well, i'd love to hear them. wishing you all the best. 💙
