Phobias are a pain.

I suppose I can't really say that, as I don't know if it would actually count as a phobia, but ah well, to the point:

I'm afraid of doctors. A few bad experiences in the past have led to my avoiding going to one at all costs. I will only go if there is absolutely no choice otherwise. Oddly enough, I'm fine when it comes to going to the dentist, despite having teeth that constantly needed work done(spacers, teeth pulled, etc. I refused braces though). Or at least I used to be fine with dentists.

At my last checkup they noticed that my two upper wisdom teeth had come in, and the lower two were working on it. However, the problem was with the lower pair. They're coming in at a pretty extreme angle, so they have to come out. Ok, that's not so horrible, as I said, I've had teeth pulled before, no problem. But then, they took an x-ray, just to check things out, and lo and behold, I'm an anomoly. It would seem there are another pair of teeth forming at the back of my upper jaw. 

So I have 6 wisdom teeth. I know I can be a bit of a wise-ass at times, but this is going a bit to the extreme to prove it, I think.

But back to the point. So, even though my upper pair of wisdom teeth had come in fine, no problems at all, because of these extra ones, I'm going to have to go to an oral surgeon and get stuff done. Now, as soon as the word "surgeon" got put out there, I started having a bit of an inward panic attack. But then upon hearing that before anything, I need to make an appointment with the oral surgeon for a consultation, and only then will I get an appointment for the actual procedure. And the date set for my consultation was June 14th. Now, this was in February, so the thought of it being so far away calmed me down. In fact, I'd completely forgotten the date, until my mom reminded me that the 14th is next Thursday. 

Considering that my reaction to that news was to get an upset stomach and stop talking for an hour doesn't bode well for how I'm going to handle this whole thing. The fact that someone I on my deviantART watchlist just had her wisdom teeth removed and is now hopped up on painkillers and other medication, and has now gotten herself a nice little infection really is not helping me. 

In the end I'm sure I'll be able to suck it up and deal with it, if for no other reason than my odd trait of not allowing people to see how much I'm mentally freaking out. 

To finish off, I'm curious, if anyone happens to read this: Is there anything that completely freaks you out like that? Doesn't have to be a big thing, could be something like fear of spiders or the dark or whatever. Like I said, I'm just curious.

Have a good one, all!
