One of my fillings came off and I think I have a deep cavity behind it. I can’t bite or touch my teeth together because it hurts so much,it’s also causing pain in my temple. I take painkillers but I can take them every 7 hours and they only give pain relief for about 3,5-4 hours.It keeps me from sleeping. I have an appointment in a few days but does anyone have any advice to make it less unbearable.
Orajel isn’t available in my country, I don’t have any access to cloves or clove oil.

One of my fillings fell out around 3 years ago(I know it’s really bad and I should’ve told someone immediately please don’t judge)I haven’t had any problems since then. Around 4 days ago my jaw,temple and that one tooth started hurting when I bite down and it keeps me from sleeping. My dentist when I was a kid was so judgmental so I am forever scared of the dentist. I’ve been taking painkillers but I think it’s time to go to the dentist. Everyone in my family has some sort of teeth problems and is prone to cavities. I can’t stop overthinking that I have a bazillion cavities and they’re gonna have to pull a few of my teeth out and do root canal. I don’t know how to calm down and I can’t stop crying I am genuinely so scared please does anyone have any advice on how to calm down grow up and go
I am also scared to tell my parents as I am not an adult yet.I also am scared that they are gonna put me on anesthesia and I will spill my secrets.

I was SA’d at a young age and I didn’t even know this would trigger me until it did. My friend -who I will call B for this story- and I were talking and I said my shoulders hurt from slouching all day yesterday and a few moments later while he was passing behind me he stopped and squeezed my shoulders and the back of my neck to massage them and I had a flashback of my perpetrator grabbing the back of my neck, I pushed his hands away as hard as I could and started crying out of nowhere.? My other friends and he looked at me and asked what was wrong and I had to explain as a good 30 people were looking at us and he apologized to me around a hundred times.I felt so embarrassed. People have given me shoulder massages before and he’s not someone I feel uncomfortable around, in fact he’s one of my male friends I feel most comfortable around. I didn’t even remember my assaulter grabbing my neck until today. I don’t know why or how this happened, Im not the type of person that gets triggered easily and I feel so embarrassed because a lot of people were staring at me and I accidentally dug my nails into B’s hands without realizing, all he did was try and help me I feel so bad :(

My grandpa passed away a week ago, I've been really sad and haven't been able to find motivation to do anything. My friend (we'll call them G for the sake of this story) has been the best person I could ever ask for rn. I came back to school the day after his funeral, and G asked me if I was okay and if I needed anything multiple times a day. In literature class, G sat beside me and said "You're Muslim right?" and when I said yes, G wrote down the name of a few prayers and said I should read them, I didn't know one of them fully so G taught me the prayer and read them with me. That was quite literally the best thing someone has done for me in the past 2 weeks. My parents are away in my grandpas hometown and when I said I couldn't come with my friends to the subway(we all get on the same subway to go home) because I had to do grocery shopping, G came with me and helped me shop and carry the grocery bags. They even filled the pages in my book in the classes that I was sleeping.

I just wanted to post this to show my appreciation for G, tysm dude you will never know how much you helped me. I hope everyone has their own G when going through grief.

My grandpa passed away yesterday, We all loved him very much and his funeral was today. Before the funeral we went to his house to gather , family and friends were there. I was wearing a black thin strapped shirt which he always said looked so pretty on me and a black button up on top of it. It was hot in the house so I took off my button up as it wasn't the funeral yet. A friend of my aunts saw me in the thin strapped shirt and made a tch tch tch sound to her other friend. I was really sad so I didn't react and moved on.

Outside the mosque before the funeral started, a childhood friend of my mom who I love very much saw me and my sister were sad ,and he told us a funny story about my mom, grandpa, and him. We giggled because it was a funny story which he told to cheer us up a little, and the same woman from before looks at my sister and I, turns to her friend and says "Even I cried more than her can you believe it" with a judging voice. It really pissed me off because do I have to sob in front of you to show that I am grieving him? My grandpa just died and this woman is acting like Im celebrating his death.

We went back to my grandparents home, but we unfortunately couldn't stay for the whole prayer because my sister has really bad migraines and she had one, also we were both a mess. Im chronically ill and I was feeling bad, so we decided to leave with a family friend who also had to leave early and as we were leaving I heard the same woman say "Omg are they actually leaving early??" I get that leaving early is bad but it was kind of our last resort. Also if we waited for the prayer to end and leave with our parents we would have made it home well after 11.30pm, we both have to go to school tomorrow and my sister is young so she has to sleep earlier than that. Which is kind of another reason why I went home with her, I could deal with my own pain if I forced myself but I don't want her home alone until midnight when she is in pain and grieving.

I don't know if I'm overreacting because I'm sad but I really just wanted to tell someone this and look for validation.Thank you for reading
