major milestones achieved

idk if this really belongs in this sub but i just wanted to share a major milestone for me! i have an extreme fear of the dentist and anything regarding teeth since I've had a really bad experience when i got my braces. i haven't been to the dentist in years and have been living with huge pain for years now, especially my wisdom tooth. i am also terrified of making phone calls. today i finally gathered the courage to call a dentists office and tell them that i have an extreme phobia and haven't had my teeth checked out in years, the woman was so nice and understanding and told me they're specialized on patients with phobias and i booked an appointment for next wednesday!! i am so terrified. especially since my girlfriend has uni that day and can't come with me and my mom is working that day as well and i have to probably go on my own but i really hope i will make it and not chicken out and cancel last minute. that's all, thank you for reading c:
