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.

Ugh, teeth are so fraught with guilt, hygeine and desirability issues in our culture.
I feel for you.

Teeth. Eee.
I have this whole morbid fear of teeth, internal organs, veins, etc. I try to pretend I am a robot most of the time.

Yesyesyes. Metoo.
And don't talk to me about veins- I watched Titus last night.
Eeeeee indeed.
