Bad day

[Jsteve36]

I know it's still a month away but I'm super scared about my doctor's appointment, I can't shake this feeling that im going to be told bad news.

After my doc appointment I have to schedule a dentist appointment to have the rest of my teeth pulled which I am scared to death that I will suffer a complication while having them pulled, I'm so scared that I won't make it out of the procedure and be able to see my wife and our kids again....

I'm so full of fear about these two appointments I have to do....

Why do you have to have all your teeth pulled. Can't some be saved by the dentist?

I have 17 left, they're pretty rough. I would rather just have them out and not have to deal with any more issues, I had 15 pulled in 2014 . But something in my gut is telling me I won't make it through this one

your stronger than anything inside or out of you

we are a capable lot but we paralyze ourselves with needless fears and fear and anger r the basis of the illness

Its just your anxiety & fear talking. It always grows bigger when we have these events to deal with. Yor dentist is a expert and knows his job very well, you will come through smiling although without teeth. As for your Dr he too is expert at his job and if it was bad news you would be called in much sooner. I know its hard to ignore your fears but listen to those around you who love you, they know you will be ok. Its true you are stronger than you think. All the best.

I haven't even had my doctors appointment yet, I haven't been to a doctor since 2019 cause I was feeling good.

I'm scares that im going to find out something is wrong like cancer or something with my body in general that is going to take me away from my wife and our children

Jsteve, is there a valid reason that your scared about receiving bad news, are you awaiting results..don't mean to pry, just wanna offer you some advice, maybe you'll feel less worried..you mentioned getting your teeth extracted, they've come a long way with dentistry, please try not to worry, I know its easier said than done, but in the end, it won't change the outcome right? Worry adds stress and takes a toll on our mental health as well as physical..you will see your wife and kids again, why wouldn't you?..your lucky to have them, I'm very much alone in the world..don't have a partner, never had kids..enough about me, I hope everything works in your favor, we need to take care of ourselves, nobody that do that for us..living in fear is awful, I know that feeling..

No I'm waiting for my appointment.I'm scared of a cancer diagnosis or heart problem diagnosis as I have been a smoker for 23 years and the majority of those years I did not take care of my oral health like I should have.

Why do you not cancel the app . Ring the Dr on a day you feel a little better and make an appointment on the same day if you do this a couple of times they are bound to have a cancellation . You then only have the day to worry rather than worry for a month!!?
