#my throat feels irritated and weird too actually and I've just realised this might be why we've had a sore throat over the last few days

I used the prescription toothpaste and managed to not end up dry heaving for several minutes while brushing my teeth. within about 5 minutes of finishing brushing I start to feel like I'm gonna throw up regardless. I feel shaky and nauseous and I've also almost thrown up so many times while brushing my teeth lately that the act of brushing them now seems to activate our fight or flight respose and I feel like I'm about to start crying. awesome /s.

I really don't know what to do about any of this because I can mention it to our dentist on Thursday but I don't think there are any alternatives that won't just do the same thing

#thoughts #personal #🍬 post #vent post #emetophobia tw #I feel like I've talked about the toothpaste a lot but unfortunately this is a big deal because of how fucked our teeth are #but I genuinely don't think I can handle using this on a regular basis #I feel so unbelievably sick and if we use it every day we start feeling sick all the time and that also makes it hard to eat #which is really triggering now after that 10 months of being ill where our appetite was fucked and we struggled to eat anything #my stomach actually kind of hurts a little bit on top of me feeling really sick #like the food poisoning kind of sensation we had yesterday so I think that was from the toothpaste after all #we try very hard not to swallow any but like it's in your mouth so you can't exactly avoid that fully #my throat feels irritated and weird too actually and I've just realised this might be why we've had a sore throat over the last few days
