i’m 27 and i got my braces put on yesterday and i’m feeling so self conscious and awful, every time i think about how long they’re going to be on for it’s like i feel claustrophobic and start to panic and i currently regret everything about doing this and i don’t know how to last through it. ive kinda just completely shut down at the moment, nothing is cheering me up i feel so empty and don’t want to get out of bed or do anything.
i’m so afraid it’s not going to get better and im just going to have to hate myself and feel empty for 18 months with no way out
