Went to the dentist today. I have really bad dental anxiety and today was a new level of calm! Thread!
It was the second time where I didnât cry 
I love dental hygiene but I have always struggled with the process.

I used to wear headphones, have them turn on the tv, and Iâd had something to fidget with in my hands. Today I had none of that!!
Now I did âwatch Fridayâ in my head lol I know that movie word for word so I literally imagined watching it while lying there. I got up to the part where Betty comes to the front porch to tell Craig to tell Joy to stop calling and hanging up.
You may call that a vice but I call that mental toughness considering I was in a stressful situation but mentally removed myself almost completely and arrived at a place where I was comfortable and familiar.
My heart rate only got up to about 40 BPM higher than my usual resting rate. About 20 BPM more than my normal rate when walking so it was like I was on a light jog while sitting. I pay attention to my physical signs of mental strain. They are very much so real.
Also, I love my hygienist. I will drive across country for her if need be. Sheâs always hella patient and doesnât get aggravated when telling me to open my mouth more or turn my head back to face her 
the defense be prevalent lol body language saying âget outâ

But yeah dental anxiety can be a lot fr but Iâm glad to have gotten to this stage and hopefully it continues to improve. End of thread.
