This might be it.
It also might be that the whole "brushing a raw nerve with my tooth brush" thing was SO painful that I have now started to have premptive fear of pain... And this sounds all cocky and stuff, I don't mean it to be, but I've never really outright feared pain before.

I've always had a pretty high pain tolerance and threshold and been able to get through a lot of pain just by like some kind of bizarre zen breathing, detachment and the solid mindset that "By comparison, I will feel great when this is over".

But amazingly, the amount of pain I experienced this past weekend surpassed anything I have ever before experienced- including the previously mentioned head trauma and that time I broke my ankle in three places and, for whatever reason, tried to walk on it [I'm not even going to try to explain that one].

But it's like now I'm scared that I'm going to feel that pain again and it's kind of terrifying.
Maybe that is it.

Or maybe just having a tooth ripped out of your mouth is freaking terrifying.
Um either way I'm starting therapy again!

haha

/me throws confetti!

Thanks guys.
