Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I have to go to the Dentist in less than an hour to get a chipped filling fixed. Just freaking out a wee bit. :0P I had a bad experience getting a tooth pulled when I was younger and have been freaked out ever since. It's been 4 1/2 yrs since I've been and finally got the guts to go last week and now I have to go back so soon. Wish me luck!

it will be over before ya know it!! When I go my hands are white knuckled the whole time and I try to close my eyes and focus on anything else. By the time I am done and get to go home I am so tired from stressing it. GOOD LUCK and when it's over it's over and your teeth are healthier!!

Good luck! I know how you feel. I never really had a bad exspirence at the dentist but for some reason i know get freaked out. My dentist has to prescribe me valium just to get a cleaning. I still have 7 cavitys and i can't bring myself to get them filled. I need to find a doctor who will knock me out then I wont accidently knock him out. ;) JK.

Thanks everyone! I'm alive!! As usual it went fine it's just getting myself in the door and in the chair that's the tough part. i just closed my eyes put my hands in my pocket and tried to focus on anything but that horrible noise. Next time I'm bringing music with me because I hate the sound. It freaks me out. Now my dentist wants me to get my wisdom teeth out. That's the next big step but at least I get to be knocked out for that one. They can do it at the campus dental office for about $600 less but you're awake the whole time. NO THANKS!! I'll scrounge up the money some how. :0) Thanks for all the words of support everyone and best of luck to you all!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
