if you can, spend today relaxing and getting cozy and de-stressed. also, yeah, take all the drugs you can get and at least for me it helps to have the dentist tell me what they do and explain the procedure, but you might not want to know the details, whatever works for you. i hope it'll be over quickly and painlessly!
Thanks so much for this -- I seriously tend to fling myself into my stress and exacerbate it before I realize what I’m up to. I appreciate the reassuring message! <3

Speaking as someone who had every single one of my baby teeth pulled by the dentist, just breath slow and don't turn down the drugs! ��
Oh gosh, that sounds like an incredibly trying circumstance! My hat is off to you for getting through it! A reminder to breathe slowly is always helpful; I’m not always the best at mindfulness in stressful situations. <3

can they give you a tranquilizer or some such?
Yes, yes, I’m going to take one, after the phone convo. Honestly, I was about to say, “oh, there’s no need,” when she told me they could prescribe me something, because my default is trying to shoulder my way through things without, um, help. And then I paused and realized that while we were on the phone I was choking back sobs and my heart was racing, SO IT SEEMED LIKE A GREAT IDEA AFTER ALL!

make yourself cosy tonight, watch a good movie, eat comfort food if you're allowed to, and have an herbal tea before going to bed. It's going to be alright sweetie!!!
Thank you so much for the excellent advice! I’m really going to do my best to take time to calm myself down. <3
