Tooth pain has rapidly gotten worse over the past 48 hours, f
Insurance won't cover anything until December, don't really have money to deal with this right now, worry about being too much of a burden to ask anybody else for help, and am in enough pain to make functioning difficult
What do? x-x
@KS gofundme maybe? you should prolly go to a dentist
@vahnj I struggle with feelings like "nobody cares anyway" and "others deserve it more" which makes it difficult
Going to the dentist is a given but I have to juggle things together with work because I really don't want things going south there x-x
@vahnj I was trying to hold off until December at the encouragement of my dentist because that's when insurance will actually start covering things, and it would be a few thousand dollars *that I don't have* to properly fix right now
That was last month and things have rapidly gotten worse, and I'm not entirely sure what to do
@vahnj May have to get the tooth (teeth?) pulled to take care of it, which would be cheaper but I already went through that earlier this year and I don't know how well it would go over with my job and
Just a big ball of stress and pain right now x-x hoping the Ibuprofen I took will last for my shift
@KS hang in there friend
do what you need to do to take care of yourself!!!
@KS and anyway- if you can't afford it- you deserve it just as much as the next person
@KS yea that's understandable- but seriously, don't fuck around with your teeth- the sooner you can get it fixed, the cheaper it will be and the less pain you are going to have to deal with
(sorry if this is kind of rough advice, not trying to yell, it's just that this kind of thing is usually a very serious issue)
