Wisdom Teeth

I have to get my wisdom teeth removed in 13 days and I am having a lot of anxiety. I am petrified. Everytime I think about it i feel like i can't breath and that my heart is stopping.

My family and friends don't tske me seriously about this and just laugh at me. They tell me I'm too dramatic (which I know!!!!!) But it just really hurts .

I am so scared. I don't think i can go through with it. I honestly feel like I'm going to end up having a heart attack out of anxiety sometime in the next 13 days.

I just want to cancel the surgery :(

Has anyone else felt anxiety like this before? Did other people think you were being dramatic?

I also have wisdom teeth I need to get taken out, but I have to decide on a date. When I was going to get wire braces I cried my eyes out thinking Id have to get 8 teeth extracted! Luckily, I went to a second orthodontist who told me Id be fine just getting the wisdom teeth out. Youve probably heard this, but Im here to remind you that fear is natural and you shouldnt feel any less because of it. If it helps, read about other peoples experience for their wisdom teeth extractions. It helps to know what to expect and understand that the people working on you are professionals and have done this procedure a dozen times. The pain is just the process of healing as well, and sure it might not be a great week after but at least youll have your wisdom teeth out,which would cause you problems in the long run. ❤️🤗

@VenusMoon123 you're absolutely right; thank you for kind and rational words. I am going to take your advice and look up other people's experiences as well. I'm sure that will help me emotionally prepare myself :) thank you again
