Hi,

Sorry to hear you are going through so much right now, my heart goes out to you. Anxiety is scary and can be about anything. In my opinion, you seem like a very health-conscious person, and possibly having your tooth taken out scared you a bit because it symbolises that you are mortal, teeth decay just as we do. That is a scary thought.

I injured my leg once at the gym by lifting too heavy and I had awful sciatica. I stopped going to the gym for 6 months after that, even when I was perfectly well. I thought I was just being lazy but deep down I was scared of injuring myself again, I felt old and weak. I didn’t trust my body anymore.

Do you still trust your body? Do you still think your body is strong? Maybe think about this.

Also, anxiety is very complex and can be due to a combination of things, even though you may not feel like it, try some mindful meditation or deep breathing to make it a habit.

Good luck,

azu xx
