yes it is an irrational fear

[threeplusfire]

Hell and damnation.

I've cracked a tooth, somehow. It must have had a cavity lurking under the surface to be so fragile. It's freaking me out, and not just because I have no dental insurance and no money. This makes me feel somehow unclean, awful, and I'm developing morbid fantasies of infection and pain. It does not hurt much, except when I push on it. Which I probably shouldn't be doing. Even though I'm sure it would be excessive, a nightmare, I want to rip it out.

I want to scream.

But then again, not so irrational. I broke a tooth in November. As the break was small, and I am poor, it still sits there, painless, taunting me.

Of course, it does have a sharp edge, and my new thinking thing is to run my tounge over it and scratch the tounge. Odd, but there you go.

Yeah, I know that feeling. I think because I can't see it, it's weird and I poke it with my tongue. Like worrying at a splinter stuck in the skin.
