Sigh, xrays tomorrow

Pain back. So, so worried. About what this could be. Mad I didn't get xrays sooner. Thinking its life threatening.

Undergoing this fucking expensive tmj tx. They put the glued-splint in and I hope I'm not hearing popping. Wouldn't it be ironic if I die soon with thousands of dollars of dental work in my mouth? Wouldn't that be something?

And I thank God. My relatives don't want to hear it. I'm disabled with "problems". This pain is the latest in a string of calamities to plague me. I used to have a normal, pretty good life in the past, BION

My so is disabled with health problems too. I'm not a fun person. Relatives I grew up with I thought I was close to treat me with impatience.

Sometimes I think my life really sucks, maybe checking out is for the best. I just don't want to suffer. Had I known this physical problem was coming up, I would have held off on the dental work.

stay in shape. I can't die after all that expense and can't be a slob. People would say that and roll their eyes.

Its just my anxiety is off the charts about this on top of this months long tmj tx told to eat soft foods, scared to eat anything else in case I aggravate it... don't want to spend tens of thousand to "fix" this to just eat yogurt and pudding the rest of my life

Got education, jobs, helped ppl, never bullied anyone, ended up disabled, getting $1900 a month to pay for part d and Medicare... my so pays the bills, worrying about money should he pass... not fair... then trump was born with every advantage, hurt ppl, never did anything good... living in luxury, best health care we pay for. So many ppl strugglung.

I'm pretty ready to give up at this point.
