I’ve posted a few times here - I have pretty debilitating anxiety. I have always been terrified of the dentist because I have a severe gag reflex and always feared vomiting and not being in control. I avoided the dentist for about 6 years then finally mustered up the courage to go last year. Since then I’ve gotten xrays, my teeth cleaned, and two fillings (so far, I need a couple more). The most daunting thing I learned is I would need my wisdom teeth out. I have always panicked at the thought of this. That very day I scheduled the appointment (for months in advance in true me fashion) but that was a big step. I have been dreading it and dreading it. For the past few weeks I could think of little else. I’d spend hours looking at Reddit posts and anything I could find about wisdom teeth surgery (looking for what? I don’t know.) 
My local oral surgeon does wisdom teeth extractions under iv anesthesia which I’ve never had before. That meant I couldn’t eat or drink (even water!) for 6 hours beforehand. That was one of my main worries - I knew I’d be beyond anxious and when I’m anxious I always get nauseous. My remedy for this is a banana and ginger tea and it always works. But this time I couldn’t turn to that. I woke up at about 4:30 am this morning (surgery day) with an anxious pit in my stomach and stayed up until my appointment time (8:15). I was a mess. I really didn’t think I could do it. I was so nauseous and so scared. But I did it. I drove me and my husband there. 
I had to wait about 10 minutes in the waiting room and then they brought me back. Right away I said I was terrified and they said okay let’s get this going then. I got heart monitors attached to me, got my blood pressure taken, then the doctor came in and put the IV in. Instantly the ceiling started to move and within two seconds I was OUT. Like. OUT. I don’t remember anything between then and being back at home in bed. I don’t remember being wheeled to my car in a wheelchair or even the ride home. I was really loopy according to my husband but he couldn’t understand me because of the gauze in my mouth. I sent a ridiculous selfie to my parents and friends haha. I don’t remember doing this. I’m now currently chilling in bed with a smoothie watching a movie. I’m so thankful I did it and that it was actually an easy experience once I got there. The buildup was 1000% the worst part. I’m just posting in case anyone else has to go thru something similar. I promise it will be okay. I’m also incredibly proud of myself for not canceling (I almost did). Thanks for support as always y’all.
