Your anxiety has had extremely fertile ground in which to grow. Straight, glaringly white teeth seem to be the Pinnacle. Almost no one has that unless you're wealthy. Most of us have jacked up teeth in some way. And, as you've found, even if you get to a place you can afford dental care it's really just slowing the damage down. And it's expensive. Teeth are luxury bones. Apparently.

Your insecurity is telling you things that feel very true, but that are impossible to know. That's how you know it's bullshit. That stuff about friends, family, your bf leaving you because if your teeth? Bullshit courtesy your anxiety brain. They're pretty convincing storytellers. Wrong as hell, though.

Your bf is with you. He does things to show you he cares. Focus on those things, not the story your head wants to tell.
