Guys, I could really do with some congratulations here.
I know this isn't a big thing for most people, but for me this is pretty huge.
It does back a good few years to just after my gran had died, when I was still with XH. Things were big league unravelling between us (unbeknownst to me). But clearly my body was picking things up and started to go into stress overdrive.
XH and I went away for a short break together. On our way back, a bit of the back of one of my front teeth chipped off.
Unknown to me, I had been grinding my teeth at night. It later became so bad that I chipped more off the back of my two front teeth (so you could eventually see it from the front, like a sort of discoloured, darker patch in the middle of my two front teeth), I also cracked two fillings and cracked a molar.
Anyway, the dentist has just fixed the chipped bits of the back of my my front teeth. So they look totally normal again.
I know it's not much, but I find going to the dentist really, really difficult. I had the shakes really badly today (I've only just got back). My whole body was shaking quite badly throughout. It was making the chair and light shake as well.
But I've done it.
And fixing them has made them stronger as well. They're no longer damaged, so I no longer have the worry of them.
It's probably also the adrenalin, but I feel like crying.
I'm going to have a hot bath to try and come round a bit. And then go to bed for a couple of hours and watch some makeup and clothes YouTube videos.
Then I'll see how I feel and if I want to go to the gym for a bit.
