@TAB course my friend, I hope things shift for you soon 🤞💜

..its up to me what I do with the substance abuse @Jynx 

my choice as the specialist said. Not as if I signed a contract lol . has given me pause for thought ok bit more than that.

as for dentist debacle. wondering if I am nuts going to a person like that. this next time it the absolute last time going there. after seeing tube of tarzans grip in drawer today , remembered friend who did that lol, well before they took their super out and got a faceful of screw ins lol. I had good dentists several times over last 8 or so years , but either they move or I do or both lol. think I blew $1500 on nothing plus all the inconvenience re tooth

@TAB aye, your body, your choice for sure. I hope that whatever you do, you do so safely. And you know, mixed in with other coping strats if you can 😂

Oh yikes, that's a big wad of cash! I always thought it was so silly (and well, awful) that dentistry doesn't count under medicare. Like don't worry about it, these are just luxury bones, we can all live without them 😑 smh

okay will give you whole story re toothy pegs @Jynx .

am running out of them . have spent poss $0ver $10k on fixing them over the years

have like 3 crowns on molars done by people of varying competency .

had 2 removed over last 4 years . one by a total quack who should be de-registered. ie local where I am now.

the only reason got these done was because 2 very front teeth. went through a stage over a few months of choking, passing out and collapsing, due to damage to valve in throat after thyroid surgery. this has not happened in last 5months now, think because am doing a course which involves speaking to people. I normally speak 20 words a day maybe and that is to cat or pretend cat lol . 

The End. so finally got crowns put on and few weeks later one just fell off , like it had No bond whatsoever with tooth stump inside of it, just hopeless

@TAB addiction is hard. I do think it’s important to realise many people who use substances are struggling with MH. Society judges harshly. I never really understood till I really started struggling with MI that many of us would do whatever it took to feel better, sometimes we are just trying to get through the day in one piece 💖
