Okay, well I try to recognize not all fear can be rationalized, and then I practice my right to be irrational. And when it comes to even going to the dentist, I trip out. I have to take Valium to have minor procedures, so I COMPLETELY relate. I feel like it's okay to be afraid of things, it's okay that things that maybe aren't a "huge hairy deal" to some people, scare the crap out of others. I know a girl that's terrified of butterflies - makes sense to her. So try not to stress it too much. Recognizing you have a fear is a good start. I do wish you a very quick recovery, as I know having wisdom teeth pulled is painful. I also thought your wall post was witty and clever
