The destist who was mean used to scratch me with the tooth hook thingy if I didn't open my mouth wide enough, as punishment.... I was just a kid! Then my mom took me to a pediatric destist and he was very nice, but a month later he got arrested as a child molester and was in the news.  I was about 10 years old. I never went to the dentist after that until I broke my tooth and I think that was in 2009.  |
I've never had any cavities or anything and my dentist was nice...I just haven't been for years due to depression, or been diligent about caring for my teeth so I'm worried there'll be issues and I'd be told off :/

I might do mine today out of curiosity. I'm feeling better but still struggling with motivation etc.

I can't tell them about having thoughts of suicide because then they'll think I'll act on those thoughts. I NEVER would but they don't know me so they won't know that.

I think you should be honest, but make it clear you have no intention of doing anything. I've never had anyone freak out, even when I had a plan, until I had intent to act on the plan in the near future.

Sorry you're struggling, but thanks for posting. I was thinking about you earlier and wondering how you were.

Its frustrating though when at each teachers meeting they bring up how hyperactive she is and needs meds for this. ugg. She cant stay sitting in a room for more than 15 minutes at a time before she needs to go see the guidance counselor for a break. Not all restlessness and agitation is ADHD for heavens sake! She sees and hears things! yea, that would make me have to get up and leave class too! Or be distracted in class! Do you know how many times I have to repeat this???
Okay. Rant over....  |
Teachers are useless sometimes! My oldest brother definitely had ADHD, though not diagnosed until his teens, and we told all his teachers, but every parent's evening they'd go on about his in attention, hyperactivity, and outbursts like they had no idea of his diagnosis. My Mum gave them instructions in how best to handle him but they always made the situation worse instead of diffusing it. We don't have guidance counsellors in UK schools, but I think they'd be a good idea.
Still worrying about my upcoming MH appts
Plus Max has hurt his tail and it's all sore and pus-y so I've been putting germoline on it, so hopefully it'll get better and he won't need antibiotics (or expensive vet bills!).
