I need help finding a coping strategy?!
Question: I need help finding a coping strategy.?
Please bear with.
I had a horrifying experience at the dentist years ago and the anxiety is still paralyzing. I am in the process of taking care of a few teeth which need to be pulled, the same procedure that screwed up my brain up for life. I have taken the big girl pill (hypothetically) simply "sucking it up" does no help. I grunted through it one time sober one time with the stupid nitrous which didnt ease my stress. I cannot afford to be put under right now.
I start to hyperventilate. It's bad people. I don't know what type of anything I can pull from within to help me with this.
Any type of freakin chi I can tap into.? A third eye a meditation motivation sequence, anything.?.?.? Please help.Health Question & Answer

I hate going to the dentist. I had a bunch of work done & I would always be fine til I got in the chair. At one of the last visits I told the dentist & he said it was the pain meds & he gave me a different one & I was fine. I went to another dentist years later & the Ahole hurt me & cut my cheek. I went back to finish the work & he was just as bad so I changed dentists. Below are a couple sites that might help.Health Question & Answer
