My teeth are ruined and I feel pain. But anxiety is so severe and depression is severe too. Yesterday I wasn't able to interact here because of anxiety. My dental appointment is on Thursday. But I am not feeling ready to do this. I am taking medication and I still feel depressed. I sleep a lot and my cats woke me up today. It was 11 am and when I woke up I was tired. I am still tired now.

@dya80dya Take it easy.The treatment may be difficult;but the pain will persist only for a day or two.Thereafter you will have no pain.

@Shivram59 I am a sensitive person and the pain persists for a few months. I need a root canal and that is painful.

Yes, I went to the dentist today and she wants to save my teeth. But some of them can't be saved and this makes me feel depressed. I am ok because she postponed those difficult treatments.

Go to see the dentist, explain that you suffer of anxiety attacks, they have medications to give you. Please do not cancel, the health of your teeth is important.

@dya80dya I think you are right to take medications before you go, just take care.

I will go even if I have to force myself. The dentist gives me calcium. But I already take medication before going there.

Diana, if there is any possibility you can manage it, I hope you will go. Not getting your teeth taken care of can turn into an infection that gets in your bloodstream. If it’s not taken care of soon you could end up having to get more treatment. Then again, I know you are doing the best you can. Do what you can only get yourself to do.

Yes. I wrote a discussion about that. I went, but the dentist postponed the difficult procedures. I wasn't prepared today.
