Hi guys! It’s Internaut and I just wanted to open up to you guys about something. I have multiple phobic disorders and if you don’t know what those are, basically I have phobias of multiple things. These things include heights, clowns, dentists, hospitals, social anxiety (the list goes on and on), and one of the worst ones, needles. The sight of them, hearing people talk about them and even just seeing them on TV just makes me feel physically sick. I really cannot stand them.
I bet you’re wondering ‘Internaut, why are you posting about this?’ Well, the reason is that tomorrow I am getting my tooth taken out which combines 2 of my phobic disorders: the dentist and the oh-so dreaded needles. I bet a lot of you are thinking ‘needles aren’t that big of a deal!’ To some, no, they’re not but because of my phobic disorder, I am absolutely terrified of them, to the point where I pass out if one so much as comes near me. Beforehand, I always have panic attacks which I’m relatively used to seeing as I have anxiety as it is but it doesn’t make things any better.
I have never ever had a tooth out while being concious before (I’ve had teeth taken out twice before but only under the sweet, sweet sleep of anesthetic which knocks me out cold) I’m not writing this for attention or for pity, I’m just trying to find more ways to take my mind off my phobic disorders and so far, writing about it is really helping. To be honest, I feel calmer already!
I have it tomorrow at about 3pm so I’m really not excited for that but yeah, I just got to try and get over my fear. If you guys can relate, please leave a message! We can help each other! It can be Therapy Time with Internaut! Yeah, I like that idea!
Anyway, thank you guys so much for reading. This really helped me out! Have a wonderful day and as always, I will see you… in the next news article! Buh-bye!
