I´m panicking out of my mind, please distract me
I´m panicking hard over a mild gum irritation and other mild unrelated problems that make me feel like I´m about to kick the bucket 😭 My health ocd is screaming from the roof top and every second is making me feel like it´s over.
Please distract me with anything, i haven´t felt this bad in a long while 😭

Girlllll you’re fine. Honest! I’m a hypochondriac myself. I’ve been there… I love you <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 i did so well lately, and today, it just all came together. I have a mildly rotated tooth because of my wisdom tooth growing wrong, and after removing the wisdom tooth, the remaining 7th loves to irritate my gum sometimes anyway, what is happening right now with some mild swelling and a bit of pain. I am thinking of calling the dentist tomorrow to have it checked.
I also didn´t sleep too well at night, but was able to get through work and get a nap when i came home. But still. My eyes are dry, my neck and back are still not unstuck properly and i´m a bit dizzy because of that. It all triggers a panic that makes me even more light headed and a bit confused and it just keeps making me panic more...
Just too much panic for one day. And when I went to distract myself with youtube, I got a video of signs of heart attack in women, that are like half of what i have right now, just crowning the panic spiral and adding panic stomach ache on top.
Breathe <3
Use some warm salt water to swish in your mouth. Rinse your face and eyes while you’re at it. Do you have access to Netflix? If so, start watching Anne With an E. I find that my very favorite calming show. It works soooo well <3
You are not having a heart attack. It’s just a panic attack. <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 tried to eat some ginger candy to snap out of it, but it didn´t help. Sadly no, I have more of Jack Sparrow approach to my media, but I can check if someone did some charity out there 😅 I didn´t have a panic this bad in a very long while
Eat chocolate. Just trust me. You need the comfort rn. <3
Jack Sparrow approach?
Did some charity? I’m confused lol
Yeah, panic attacks SUCK dude. I get them too :(
At the very least, put on some calming music. <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 *coughs in i won´t pay for stuff that may be floating around for free if i look around (unless i would need it for commercial use) 😇 And i refer to people running the sites and uploading stuff for us stubborn subscription nopers as doing charity so we can keep not paying for subscriptions 😁
Is it a series or a movie?
Yes, put on some gentle music, hoping it helps. I feel stuck in my own head so hard. I really didn´t have such a panic in a while
Oh lol. Ok, next idea. Check out Tubi and see if you can find something calming for free there <3
Series. Soooo good and relaxing! <3
I feel you. Is there anything besides the medical stuff causing it?
@jesusredeemedme2425 mostly just panic looping myself into a combination of mild unrelated symptoms coming together. But if i had to guess, I had a week off (and a few days of the week before being let go early from work due to the school season ending). So if we look at the big picture, it´s most likely the countess De Gué diagnosis (A book character from The scapegoat by Daphne du Maurier, when there is a moment the countess tells another character "you don´t have enough work, that´s your problem) as i do tend to go depressed and unwell blob mode when i have home rot 😭
So quiet makes you think too much?
@jesusredeemedme2425 not exactly the quiet, just being at home, not having any push or motivation to do stuff, so i just bed rot. That makes my back and neck stuck, tech dries my eyes out and i turn into a dizzy, barely alive screen zombie. It´s even worse that i have no table of my own, so i can choose between having to clean the kitchen table and hanging out in my bed. And i hate cleaning with my entire heart. So me being home for more then a few days is not good for me.
Give yourself a box to put kitchen table stuff in, when you don’t have the bandwidth to clean <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 well, our home is a mess. There is 4 of us in a two room small appartment, so we don´t really have space to put things away. But i probably should...
@jesusredeemedme2425 also, I found the first episode of Anne with an E, is it around 54 minutes long?
Something like that. Yes! Watch it <3 It’ll help. I promise <3 Movies as therapy hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425 I will give it a watch 😁 Ate a little and had some tea, had some calming music on and I will be calling the dentist tomorrow to check the irritation out so it wont get worse. I feel a little better now. Still disregulated and stressed, but at least not full blown panic anymore. Thank you for helping me out ❤️
I’m so glad! <3 Have something sweet and maybe read a little, draw, freewrite, something that will calm you and get you out of your head <3
I like your plan. Planning to call the doctor/dentist can help a lot <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 trying to colour a little in my app and listening to some stuff, we will see if it helps. Just starting to be anxious about the dentist. I hate making phone calls and am already like uhhhh maybe it will pass if i wait long enough... (fun fact, it never does, I once ended up in the ER with mouth wound problems that were wisdom tooth related)
No need to be nervous <3 It’s a quick phone call. “Hey, I’m having pain. Are there any appointments available this week?” The end. And call even if it feels a bit better. For your mental health, if nothing else <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 i will. Please, kick my *** if i won´t 😅
Lol hopefully I remember XD
@jesusredeemedme2425 don´t worry, I will certainly panic without medical supervision 😂
Shall I tag others? <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 yes please, I want to use my right to be very dramatic today 😭
You have that right EVERY day. <3 *hugs* <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 oh i can be a lot when it catches me 😢
You’re not too much for us. <3 biggggg hugs <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 thank you, it means a lot to me 😭 Please let me know when you had enough, I won´t take it personally
Absolutely not! You’re our sister. We care about you and we love you! You’re NEVER too much. <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 you are so sweet 😭 but really, if you are not in capacity to deal with me, just tell me no more OCD for you today, go do something productive. And I will get the message lol.
Lol nah you’re finneeeeee <3 Stop overthinking hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425 ❤️❤️❤️

@sadcat13 Cats and kittens will help 😊
@mytwistedsoul awww, thank youuu, they are so cute 😊 The fridge one made me laugh even in my panic
@sadcat13 You're welcome 😊 That one with the fridge was pretty cool 😁 Does grounding help any?
@mytwistedsoul depends, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn´t. But i quite like the colour finding thing
@sadcat13 The one where you use the colors of the rainbow? That one is nice and it's easy to remember than the 54321 at least for me 😅
@mytwistedsoul yesss. It doesn't have to be exactly rainbow, I just pick a random colour and "hunt" for it. But can't just know the thing is there (like playing brown things and know my rug is brown so I list it), I have to physically look at the thing for it to count, playing it until I run out of the things in that colour
@sadcat13 I like doing that too! 😀
Pita says hi! Well ... Not really he's sleeping lol! I just wanted to show him to you 😅
Does coloring or playing video games help?
@mytwistedsoul awwww, she´s beautiful 😍 I want to pet her so hard 🥰 Yes it tends to help 😊
@sadcat13 You should probably know... Pita had a catnip addiction 🤭 any snacks that are catnip flavored don't stand a chance 😁 What are your favorite types of games? I like the matching ones. They have color ones now that look like they're knitted and you have to pull the thread to remove it and put it on the colored spools. I saw a few ads for it. Looked relaxing
@mytwistedsoul She´s so cute her addiction disappeared from the record 😁 I like to play the yarn game too! I also have happy color (a colouring game), gardenscapes (match 3 game), this game where you arrange the shelves to have 3 of the same items thingy that had adds everywhere, legend of the phoenix and a few other games i play ocassionally for a change.
from pc, i don´t really play a lot on it lately as i´m too tired for it, or my back is not cooperating, but i like to watch my boyfriend stream something for me. I however recently bought Kemono teatime, a graphic novel based game where you run a tea house, but the problem is it had a bit improper advertisement. It was advertised as a cute and cozy game with tea and animal ears, but when i bought it, it is actually extremely heavy in topics and is post apocalyptic type. So whenever i play it (i´m determined to finish it since i paid for it), i end up in tears and an exisencial crisis. So really can´t play it a lot
@sadcat13 I've played gardenscapes 😊 You get to fix the gardens up as you go if I remember correctly. I like that's games where you have to undo the screws by colors. I mostly just play app games on my phone because it's handier. There's heavier, harder games on the laptop
@mytwistedsoul I tried the screws too, but liking the yarn more 😊
Eh, I am just very Scrooge lol. And If I paid for it, I will make sure I make the most of it 😁
@sadcat13 The screws game is sort of tedious. Games aren't cheap. I'm pretty scrooge like at times myself 😅
@mytwistedsoul yessss. have you tried the bus one? That's another level of patience testing 😂
@sadcat13 Is that the one where you have to load the people on the buses by colors? I almost got that one a few times but never did 😅
@mytwistedsoul yessssss. It's very hard
@sadcat13 Very hard = anxiety inducing 😅 I think I'll pass in that case lol
@mytwistedsoul good call 😁 it's really a waste of time with thatone
One of those is not like the others ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425
Lolllll XD
@jesusredeemedme2425 😂 it looked pretty funny though
@mytwistedsoul awwww
@sadcat13
I'm sorry you are going through it right now 💜💕
@Amanda84 thank you 😭
@sadcat13 I'm really sorry you're going through this 🙁 I wish things start to feel a little lighter 🍀🤍 Sending lots of love to you 🐾💕
@fossilfellow thank you 🌻
@sadcat13 ❤️❤️
How many do you think there are?
This is a very chill meow 😊
Is that the same cat in a loop??? Or multiple??? Lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 I think there are at least 2 different ones? It might loop after those? One is more orange than the other one but there might be 3? 🤔 Idk 😅
@mytwistedsoul awww. This blinking cat is so cuuute. I guessed 7, but there seems to be only 3 😁
@sadcat13 I think 3 is right too. Here's your prize 😊 Be careful though it seems a little spicy!
@mytwistedsoul she´s so cuuute
@jesusredeemedme2425
@sadcat13
Salutations Sadcat. I am hoping that since the hours when you made this post, things have been a little easier, and I hope the other good folks who have spoken with you have helped ease the uncomfortable feelings you were enduring. Tooth pain is horrid. It is demandingly persistent, and a thoroughly unpleasant thing to endure. There is nothing wrong with needing some extra comfort at times like that.
So in the spirit of helpfulness, I would if it were possible shoo away any lingering vexatious pain, doubt, and fear goblins for you. But maybe you have already done so, in which case, I salute you. Regardless, I wish you comfort and freedom from worry.
@BastionKnight awww, thank youuuu. I feel much better now. I´m still disregulated and very anxious, but at least the worst panic has passed. I´m trying to convince myself to call my dentist in the morning and get it checked out, just in case. And it will most likely be something completely dumb, like food got stuck there or something, and will be told to use a healing mouthwash. But i am in pain and delaying it may just make me have to go there a few days later, when the pain is worse.
I will also happily borrow that broom, i have so many fear goblins for so long that they are practically having legal claims on me 😭
@sadcat13
*Smiles* It is heartening to hear you are feeling somewhat better. I think you are being very wise in getting it checked out. Even if it does prove to be nothing too concerning, the peace of mind is well worth the effort. Sounds like you are being very sensible. I sympathise entirely with your discomfort, mouth pain is one of the worst. I hope you have something for the pain to make it manageable until you get an appointment.
As to those goblins... *Hands over the broom reverentially*...let the this stick o' broomness thwack away those naughty pests and give you the relief you deserve.
@BastionKnight haha, thank you for the broom. I shall carry out the quest with honor 😁
As for the dentist, I don´t think i will wait for long, especially since I´m in pain and it really seems to be a 3 minute deal for him. Will just sit down, open my mouth, get it sprayed out and checked to see what is the problem to be told what to do with it. Especially since it a gum problem, the tooth is just irritating it. Although this is not the first time that damn 7th tooth is causing drama in the gum department, so will ask about possible future action to address it, if there is something we can do to get the gums out of the way. So I will either be told to stop by whenever I want and they will see me between two patients like the times before, or will be told to come the next day early in the morning. Hoping for the first one, so I can be on my treatment asap.
Those fear goblins are squatters, being on property that belongs to you and you alone. Sweep them away! <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 haha, I´m a doormat of a landlord, but i have a broom now 😁
And a knight right behind you! And a wolf. (I’m the wolf hehe)
@jesusredeemedme2425 the ultimate power team 😁
@sadcat13, @jesusredeemedme2425
Who ever said that BK was not Lupine? He has been known to sit on his haunches and sing to the mooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOoon!!
I KNEW IT!!!!
@BastionKnight We can all howl at the moon together 😁 or well, you two howl and i meow at it like it forgot to fill my food bowl 😂
And spiders.
@sadcat13
You forgot the spiders.
@BastionKnight that's exactly how it would go 😁
