>teeth have decayed to the point where if I chew using the wrong part of my mouth, feel/hear the sensation of chewing on sand
>panic attacks and general anxiety at work getting worse, to the point where I can't even do my job properly because I'm rechecking the work I did three, four even five times and hyperventilating
>uneasiness doesn't leave me when I arrive home after work, instead I am just left dreading the next day
I'm guessing no, it can and will always get worse. I'm only 19.
So this is what rock bottom feels like?
By the time you are 30 you will know what real hell feels like
post ur teeth
Are you sure? You're not going to like what you see. I've quit drinking soda and energy drinks, as well as eating sugary foods, but it's too late for that to have any meaningful effect other than not making it worse. I don't want to get yelled at on the internet again.
>implying I'll make it to 30
I guess we'll see.
i'm in the same place but i can't drive or get a job.
I also have cavities on both of my lower incisors, but my lower lip instinctively covered them out of embarrassment. There's no saving me, I'm a fucking lost cause. I'm brushing now, but what difference does it make? Prior to the last couple weeks I seldom brushed my teeth for like ten years. No money or insurance to pay for a dentist either.
I'm going to end up killing myself, and this will be one of the reasons why.
Yeah yeah just post the chompers, faggot
I can't drive either, and at the rate this is going, I'm going to lose my job as I'm increasingly neurotic. Maybe I need to be medicated.
You're 19. What job do you have, and are you enrolled in a college?
what the fuck are you a britbong?
No, I'm an American. This is what the processed American diet does to a young mans teeth when he's raised by a single mother who doesn't enforce basic hygiene in his early years, it fucks everything up.
I work stocking at Safeway. I'm not enrolled in college as I never went to highschool because my mom "homeschooled" me. I've posted about that before, things just keep getting worse and worse and I can't take it.
Do you have a GED?
No, I don't. I've tried the test three times so far, and all kinds of math is the obvious hurdle I can't surpass. Even when I was in school, I was horrible at it.
if only you knew how bad things can get
It's not unsurpassable, you just need to keep working at it. If you were really stupid enough not to be able to do it you wouldn't even be able to sit there and post on here.
How bad DO things get? I almost cried at work today because I had to keep second guessing myself "did I really do that correctly" I opened, shut and locked a door like five or six fucking times like I have OCD or something.
That's pretty classic anxiety issues. You need to practice forcing yourself from checking the second time. Do that enough and you'll find that habit slip away.
This is called a non-vegan who eats a standard american diet and has the gall not to brush his teeth, use mouthwash, and floss at least once a day. This is one of the quintessential aspects of Judeo-American culture. Consumerism and be proud of it until it betrays you.
Granted, you're only nineteen, so with good dental work and diligence in your health from hereon, you should come out of this alright. Also, not enrolling in college seems to be your own fault. Get on an educational website and start researching what you should start training for, like something simple and always in demand (i.e. product management, clinical nurse specialism, software engineering, education resource specialism, medical residentialism, physician's assistance, etc.)
I don't brush my teeth and I drink soda everyday, my shit isn't even remotely fucked up as yours.
How long have you been doing that for? I got to be the way I am because from age 10 - 15 I drank soda or energy drinks literally every day, and afterwards until the past year it's been an occasional thing. All the while not brushing my teeth.
In my country dentists do budgets for free. Try doing this and get enough money for it, I had a cavitie on molar tooth and it's hard to realize. Do this as soon as possible, it won't get better by brushing your teeth now. English isn't my first language, sorry for any mistakes.
