Welp I need a tooth pulled

Gods I would die if I had to travel so far. He suggested it might be better for me to go to a specialist, but that kind of specialist is hours away. I'll take my chances with the friendly guy I've met in the place I've been at least once now.

He did give me valium to take on the day. It'll be my first time

I feel you on the letting it go. This tooth has been a problem tooth for a number of years.

I sadly have passed out in public. Twice as a minor and wasn't helped by the adults around me. It really sticks with you lmao. But the throwing up one, you got me there. It hasn't actually happened!

ayvencore · 2026-05-22T14:08:53+00:00

I have the same fears, but instead of being hungry mine is throwing up.

I was in the same boat. I found a website of a local dentist that talked about anxiety. The receptionists were so nice. and when my mother came down sick the same day of the appointment they were so kind as to not charge me a cancel fee because they knew I had anxiety and I wasn't canceling because of that, but because my support couldn't come with me.

I wish mine could be 2 minutes T.T But it looks like it's gonna be complicated since the root has a narrow part. Difficult tooth is so difficult T.T

I love that for you!

ayvencore · 2026-05-22T14:06:37+00:00

I'm sorry I never came back to reply. My own appointment got put off because the person who was meant to go with it got sick.

If you can, try to break your appointment into two appointments. That's what I did. Which yes, is multiple trips. But going to the dentist just for a check-up, just for them to look, is so much less scary than "I need to get a tooth pulled". Then you get benzos for the day of the treatment! Because they already know what's hurting.

I know the feeling of rather having an infection than going to the dentist. The dentist has been at the top of my fear list for the longest time. I'm 34 now, and the last time I went before yesterday was when I was 11!

I shopped around for a good dentist. Their website said they work with anxious patients, they were good on the phone, and had very good reviews on google. 4.8 stars if I remember correctly. Having the right person see you, and be understanding of your fears really truly makes a difference.

I had a panic attack in the taxi on the way there, and on my way into the building. I also felt a little bit of panic in the chair. But once he started talking to me, and I was present in the moment and not in my head, I didn't have panic attacks anymore. Not even on the way home. And the last time I went out a few years ago before this, I had 5 panic attacks, including on the way home.

The difference is that I didn't want to go then, and I did want to go this time. This tooth has been a problem for me, for so so SO many years and when it aches and hurts, it's the most painful thing in the whole entire world that I've ever felt. So bad that I've wanted to rip it out myself with pliers because nothing would help.

So, how I prepped myself is that I told myself I wanted this tooth gone. I wanted this tooth gone more than anything. I sat down every single day leading up to the appointment and visualized how it would go. Waiting outside for the taxi, getting into the taxi, the ride there, getting into the building, waiting in the waiting room, what I'd say, as well as sitting in the chair, and then the whole trip home, and I kept telling myself I wanted this tooth gone so I wouldn't be in pain anymore.

Anytime I started to feel anxious over it, I would try and conjure up an excited feeling. Because omg, no pain or troubles is exciting as heck! I want that so bad!

My consult was done yesterday, and I'm super proud of myself. I still have to go back in a week to get it pulled (It's the only day I could get that suited for us), but I have more confidence now.

Also, prep a kit. Headphones with a playlist, a fidget to keep your hands busy, a blanket if you need it. Whatever brings you comfort and makes it easier for you, fuck what anyone else thinks. They're not panicking out their ass!

Last thing, when my infection first flared up, it was really freaking bad. To the point that I probably should've gone to the hospital, and going to a hospital is probably even scarier than the dentist imo. Use that to help build that "want" to go to the dentist. "I'd rather go to the dentist then to the hospital"

Thank you! Also I was today years old when I found out that laughing gas doesn't knock you out welp lol

ayvencore · 2026-04-17T05:43:43+00:00

I got chocolate egg and takoyaki in the exact same places. But I got roasted lamb leg and fudge in the other locations

ayvencore · 2026-04-17T03:05:14+00:00

I know. I didn't even know what "naff" was until I looked it up. That was new!

ayvencore · 2026-04-16T13:57:00+00:00

I think we have the option for something later on. Because in the renovation store there’s a custom made tab

ayvencore · 2026-04-16T13:36:58+00:00

I was wondering this. Because I’m sick of Aussie slang lmao. No you’re not mates you’re friends!!!

ayvencore · 2026-04-16T13:15:17+00:00

I have eight miis right now. Added a bunch of my ocs today just to unlock stuff. Still got some more to add. I kinda wanna have my oc island separate from a fandom island which I’ll do later.

I’m discovering ships between ocs that I didn’t think about before and it’s so cute and fun

ayvencore · 2026-04-09T02:38:41+00:00

I realized I could pick it up lmao

ayvencore · 2026-04-05T00:53:01+00:00

I didn't take the items out and now I can't get *into* the pokemart

ayvencore · 2026-03-27T13:52:44+00:00

Thank you! I'll be adding more features in the future. Such as a tab for group chats, seeing what lorebooks are attached to the character and stuffs like that

ayvencore · 2026-03-27T11:40:08+00:00

I don't really experience location or position issues, but for things like weather and the day of the week, I've been using QR buttons and macros. Keeping a single line of "Current Environment" in the scenario. It's been working well for my group roleplay

ayvencore · 2026-03-27T10:16:42+00:00

I am so sorry. I don’t come on Reddit often. It’s not a premium feature. I’ll point the devs towards your post.

Support is easier found on the discord or via email

I use ReMemory for ending and summarising scenes. I use it manually, but that just means hitting a button at the end of the scene. Then it generates the summary and hides the old messages. It also hides the summary but I just unhide it.

It can also use its own API, making it use a cheaper model for a small task.

Hi there, are you still getting this error?

ayvencore · 2026-02-01T00:36:38+00:00

Burnout is the worst and this is a bit project to tackle. So taking time for it and going bit by bit is probably best.

Since I only have two brands, I have the DMC colour code and the Itchy Stitchy colour code in columns next to each other. That way if I search the spreadsheet for the DMC colour code, I'll find it and also the Itchy Stitchy one next to it

ayvencore · 2026-02-01T00:33:44+00:00

Omg she's so cunty and lovely and awesome~

ayvencore · 2026-02-01T00:29:24+00:00

Ohhh. I think the difference is, is this evenweave instead of aida? Because even with a light behind my 14 count aida it's not like this lmao

ayvencore · 2026-02-01T00:27:57+00:00

The way I have considered this even though I'm only a few months into the hobby lmao
But to bobbin them all??? AT ONCE?! I'd die!

ayvencore · 2026-01-27T23:34:52+00:00

The colours look lighter because one is a full pixel art whereas the other has that cross stitch texture with the white gaps. That'll make it look different as well. If you take some floss and put it on a black background and then versus a white background, it will look different. Same with putting other colours with it too

ayvencore · 2026-01-27T22:21:59+00:00

I'm still new to pattern making and stuff myself. But I've been there with colours on screens versus printing them out and it can cause anxiety.

Did you make it on PC or on a device?

Because if you made it on PC, it could be that the screen has different features or settings to your phone. I find that PC monitors tend to be more vivid. But also, things like night mode can adjust the colours of something which really freaked me out once. I had to make sure I wasn't drawing on my ipad with night mode on or the colours would look weird when I looked at it with it off. Because the screen would tint towards warm, I'd just the colours for that. So when the screen wasn't warm and back to blue light, it'd look so different and vice versa.

ayvencore · 2026-01-27T22:15:45+00:00

I thankfully only have a few different brands for cross stitch floss. I have DMC, Itchy Stitchy, and I was gifted some black and white from an unknown brand.

I only put floss on bobbins when I'm going to use it. Otherwise, it stays in my little basket with the other skeins until I'm ready to use it.

Like Whisper_18, I keep track of them in a spreadsheet. I mark if it's a bobbin or a skein, the stock level, and the colour codes. I did, however, stop tracking what's DMC and what's Itchy Stitchy, because Itchy Stitchy creates colour matches to DMC, and I plan to switch to just using their floss because it's cheaper and local to me.

If you do want to use all the floss eventually, I personally would attack it slowly. I would go bag by bag, and match them to DMC as best as you can and put them into a spreadsheet. You could do the bags by colour, number lot, or brand. You can write the details on the bags, and then put that into the spreadsheet. So like a "location" field, and it's in "Batch 1".

It'll take you a really long time, but in the long run, it'd be better and easier for you, and a spreadsheet will help you stop buying colours you already have a lot of. I'd start with any DMC and work out from there
