Terrified of anaesthesia…

I know this topic has been mentioned before on this subreddit but the ones i saw are a few years old now and i’d like to read more recent responses. I get my wisdom teeth removed on the 20th and i am deathly afraid of speaking my intrusive thoughts out loud. Like i haven’t had a tooth removed ever since i was little and i’m just so afraid as to how i’ll behave once it’s over. What if i say something that’ll completely change people’s perception of me? What if it’s something bad and then i can’t remember what it was after it wears off? It’s been on my mind ever since i got the appointment confirmation but at the same time i’m scared that the more i think about it, the more of a chance i have of talking about my OCD themes whilst under sedation though no matter how hard i try to take my mind off it i just can’t. Can anyone give me their experience if they’ve ever had this same fear before? It would really put me at ease.
