I know this isn't your intention but this is making me angry. I don't have general anxiety issues.

Yes, I am anxious now not to re-hurt myself. Having spent the last 26 months healing.

And I wasn't talking about a bite. I hit the front of my teeth hard into something that kinda jarred me. I think there's a slow desensitizing period to different minor bumps and hits, almost like a PTSD response by the brain to calm down. It's going to take a little bit of time.

Silly me for thinking I could lean on support here to quell general anxiety when it bubbles up.
