I have a phobia of the dentist....so have bought tools to descale my teeth and remove all my own tooth debris....and hate people near my head....so i learnt to cut my own hair and am pretty proficient....enough so that my family ask me for haircuts....i dont offer dental though haha.....anyone else do things like this?
I feel ill if I even walk past a dentist practice, I had teeth removed as a child and ended up being hospitalised with dehydration, the geography of my mouth had changed, even water in my mouth made me vomit, I had totally shutdown and stopped taking. I was in hospital for quite a while. A couple of years later I had to return to the dentist for more teeth removal. I don’t suffer from meltdowns very much, I normally shutdown as it’s less noticeable. I had a massive meltdown when sitting in the dentists chair, I bit her and then tried to climb out of the window, four people eventually held me down and anaesthetised me. That was 40+ years ago and I still have flashbacks most days. The worst part was being shamed by parents for evermore, another badly behaved child who had a tantrum.
