Okay..

I’ve always been afraid of the dentist. I’ve had some issues with a couple teeth for a while now and I finally found the courage to make an appointment. I was thinking they would fit me in next week or later but they told me they would take me in tomorrow. I cried a little after confirming the appointment because I’m scared but I know.. I KNOW I need to go. I do everything I can to teach my kid to take care of her teeth because my parents didn’t when I was younger. My mom was always working and my dad would leave us home alone.. I’m trying to be brave. I made a few appointments in the past but I rescheduled twice because I was really sick and the last time was because I woke up with a lot of anxiety about it. I don’t even know what I’m looking for from y’all. I just wanted to put this out there and hope it gives me the courage I need for tomorrow. I really lost myself in 2020 when I was pregnant and the world was dealing with COVID. But now that I realize I’m not who I want to be, I’m taking steps to take care of myself. Thank you.
