Got a complicated dental procedure scheduled for later today, and am in quite a bit of pain right now, plus a nervous wreck due to dentistry-related phobia. Real talk, I am more scared of what's coming down the pike here than of being shot, and that's despite the fact that the dentist promised me that I'll be numbed up to my eyeballs and high as fuck on nitrous.

Can I get some dragon energy from my fellow pedes?

EDIT: it's done. It went... as well as can be expected or maybe even a bit better. Thank you to everyone who posted and upvoted. It really made a difference. I love you all.

Right now—Breathe in through your nose, breathe out slowly through your mouth. Do this five times, it will calm your nerves. I always get nervous too, but it’s always surprising how easy the appointment goes. You will sit down, then before you know it, they’re telling you it’s time to go home and rest!

That actually helped.
