After a lifetime of struggling to brush my teeth cuz of my autistic sensory issues and OCD... I'm gonna need to have one of my wisdom teeth extracted... big sad tbh I'm quite scared of the extraction procedure and I had some co-codamol prescribed for the pain and it didn't relieve it as much as I had been told it would (though on the upside at least cuz of that I'll prob just end up using regular paracetamol and ibuprofen, and not run any risk of getting hooked on opiates, silver linings lol). I'm struggling to sleep and will prob book another appointment at the dentist to get the tooth extracted in the next couple of weeks with just numbing, unless I decide to look into private options that offer sedation as well as the NHS waiting times are 6 months... I'm rly sad for anyone who has to deal with this type of pain without painkillers or can't get treatment cuz they haven't got money it's not fair, I'm finding it incredibly difficult even with some pain relief. My best wishes to everyone here, hope you're all doing ok, I am enjoying the warmer weather now it's spring and Friend C visited yesterday and helped me w the dental appointment and getting my prescription and my boyfriend messaged w me a lot to offer comfort and support, I do feel very blessed in terms of human connection these days even if my teeth won't stop aching, and I think this might finally get me to override some of the unkind things my brain tells me and take better care of myself physically in some ways that I haven't been doing so well with so that is good too 
(BTW sorry if this is the wrong place for this or anything like that, I just thought if people were wondering why I haven't posted on here as much/how I'm doing this would explain it a bit).
