my tooth kills!

[twinkle]

ok i know this is boring but my tooth really kills i'm in so much pain that i have to take solpudine+ every 4 hours , i'm going to dentist tomorrow but i hate dentists so much i actually am crying uncontrollably from the thought of it , along with this i am having to deal with pressure from my psychiatrist to take medication for my OCD as i am not on anything at the moment but its in a completly different group of meds to what i usually take and it can cause chronic constipation and can make you sick so i point blank refuse to take it which is not pleasing her, i also have a useless , well i'm not sure what she is really some sort of therapist i talk to who says i can talk to her about anything i want which is the whole point of her but we only seem to talk about what she thinks i need to talk about , also my parents and myself suspect i have something other than OCD autistic spectrum disorder and ADHD have been mentioned by previous therapists but she won't get me assesed unless she thinks i've any of them so basically sod what the people who live with me think. Sorry i had to have a rant , everything apart from that is ok OCD's not as bad its under control. Thanks for listening luv ya xxx

Ah Twinkle, have a hug and a karma. It will be fine at the dentist, it always seems worse before you go than when you are there (well that's the way it works for me).

As to therapists, my friends's son has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and because he is nearly 16 they don't seem to be able to access any help for him. He is self harming and has tried to commit suicide aswell. Sorry, that's not very cheerfull but I think it does underline that there are some problems with the system.

aww darlin...

Tomorrow the tooth thing will be better so thats one crossed off.

Can you not get another therapist? kick up a fuss...its your health and if you dont think she is doing it right for you then they should give you another - only someone you trust to help you will actually be able to....

Have you tried Rescue Remedy (for your peace of mind) before you go to the dentist? Cloves can help with tooth pain ( if you don't like the taste it may give you an alternative to think about...she says hopefully)
Am surprised that your therapist insisting on meds and not suggesting an alternative like cognative behavioral therepy. There is a drive up here to cut the amount of meds handed out (I get this second hand)
If you are not happy insist on a second opinion.
Big hugs.

Thanks guys , i went to the dentist on a emergency this morning and i'm all better for now, i have a big mouth ulcer and a decaying tooth which my actual dentist could have pulled out but said i needed it for a brace so i blame her completely i had a different dentist , a man, and he was so much better i had to have an injection in four places around the tooth and then the dreaded drill it didn't actually hurt thank god but i did get a bit upset with the one drill which didn't make any noise but it really hurt but i survived and i had a sedative filling in which has numbed the tooth and my roots but it looks like the tooth is going to come out anyway and after my ever so helpful brother telling me it hurts i'm a bit nervous to say the least but have been watching the royal ascot to take my mind of it i picked duke of marmalade to win and he did yay! but we didn't place a bet ( frick!) , i was really annoyed when i couldn't decide between docofthbay or the aviator to win the one race cause i've been following there careers from the beginning so i went with doc of the bay and who wins the aviator. So all in all i've had that to relax me apart from the intervals of jumping up and down screaming and deafning my parents with the races. As for the so called therapist she has now arranged a meeting with my psychiatrist without my knowledge ( the b****y cheek!) well i've had enough i'm fed up of them making the desicions all the time i'm 16 now and have a right to say when i'm not happy ( in a civalised manner of course) CBT has been mentioned and i have tried it but it didn't suit me and i don't even think it was done right from my knowledge of CBT . Kitcat i'm sorry to hear your friends son isn't receiving help , in my opinion his case is a lot more severe than mine and there just doing nothing about it, its an example of how bad help for teenagers even adults with mental conditions ( i'm not to keen on that phrase i usually say problems but just to make it clear) is right now . Thanks for the help and advice luv ya xxx

p.s my dad just told me cloves are in the filling thats the not so nice taste , oh well if it takes the pain away.

*HUGS* twinkle. If you are not getting on with your therapist then ask for a re referraal to another via your GP. I went private and ended up not getting on with my therapist. In the end my pyschiatrist referred me to a Reverend trained in pyschotherapy and I found him a real help. All therapists base their therapy on different models and it's a case of finding what works for you. If I want to run away and hide in a corner of the chapel where I see him then it's ok for me to do that, before with my old therapist I couldn't. The reverend also gave me an important piece of advice. He said it is ok to be you. Remember that twinkle it's ok to be you. If you do not feel free to express how you feel then you cannot move forward.

PM me if you want to chat xx
