This will be my biggest walk in my entire life!

Challenging myself in new ways like this really helps me get out of the house and build my confidence as I am recovering from depression and ptsd.

Aside from my individual personal reasons, I am walking to support people living with mitochondrial disease (mito), a debilitating, terminal disease. This cause is what donations will directly go towards.

Helping me is just a happy side effect :')

Even a few dollars would truly mean a lot.

This is my first ever fundraiser, I struggled to let myself sign up knowing I won't be able to raise as much as people who have an established social circle and friends.

I already donated myself so, I'm hoping at least one other person can help out and I'll feel like I earnt my place.

Thank you for listening!

I have severe anxiety and I needed to be sedated for these fillings which all up cost a lot of money...

I discussed whitening with my dentist and he said we will get to that after the fillings.

It's been a month since and I have observed:

- extreme cold sensitivity in two of my teeth, one which was broken prior. (Bottom- my left)

- difficulty flossing between a tooth on my lower left, second gap from the back.

- slight bumps in my mouth which I can tell aren't a huge deal but feel weird to my tongue, like for a second it feels like food stuck in my mouth, slightly maddening.

Most of all

- I am terribly unhappy with the colour, it is more yellow and dark than what is natural for me in that area. You can see clear lines where my tooth ends and the filling begins.

I know it's not something most people will see but I look at it everyday to floss and feel hideous. It looks dirty! I paid thousands of dollars for this...

This has been harming my mental health for over a month and I am going back for a review in a week, I just want to know what other people think.

I have seen people get teeth rebuilt and you can't even tell, I wasn't expecting such a missmatch and for it to be darker of all things when we specifically discussed whitening. So if that ever happened the contrast would be even greater. I am in disbelief.

I know the colour might almost exist in my mouth but the placement is so wrong and we discussed going lighter.

They also are telling me I owe them around $300 when my bank statement says I paid in full. No split payment or additional costs were discussed pre-op. It feels like this process has just created more problems than it solved and I am devastated.
