I started getting an abscess on the roof of my mouth over a week ago and ever since then every time I think of going to get it sorted out I just have an anxiety attack! Now it's at the point where I NEED to get to a dentist so i'm getting the courage to go at 8am, just under 3 hours from now... It's affecting me eating, sleeping, talking and now it's painful to swallow and the constant pain is unbearable! Making that decision has made my agoraphobia kick in full force.. I've not been outside in weeks, been so long I don't even remember the last time I went outside!! I wish I wasn't such a pussy  My avatar sums it up perfectly  On the plus side, I got a kilo of MHRB delivered from a new supplier on Friday so i'll be keeping busy for the next few days

Somethings you gotta do it life my friend, just suck it up and go. You know if you dont take care of yourself now it is going to messed you up later down the road. dental hi-gene is very important to our health and can easily take 5 years off your life just for not brushing or going to the dentist.

Thanks for the encouragement Doc. I brush every day, always have done, see  Getting this far I should also try sorting my anxiety and agoraphobia issues out as well. Once again, Thanks!

I would get that looked at my man. A lot of people don't realize how dangerous tooth abscesses are. Nothing is more important then your health. Let the Tao flow through you. Be the embodiment of it so throughout, that when passed by on the street they say, "Look! There goes Dao!"

No problem sometimes as harsh as it may sound or be you have to deal with certain things.

Well I went to the hospital and got a needle in the roof of my mouth, much more painful than the actual abscess then he made an incision with a scalpel. All the pain vanished straight away Your post scared me a little as I was having pains down the back of my neck and behind my eyes, thought it could possibly be blood poisoning caused by the infection! Antibiotics will sort me out in a few days so all is good

Great to hear you got it taken care of. Most people don't realize abscesses if left unattended can be fatal(not in all cases, but enough to be considered a danger). The infection pops and enters your blood stream. Releasing bacteria into either your heart(lower jaw) or your brain(upper jaw). Good to hear you no longer have to worry and are fine Let the Tao flow through you. Be the embodiment of it so throughout, that when passed by on the street they say, "Look! There goes Dao!"

Has your agoraphobia ever negatively impacted your DMT experiences? Or rather, has DMT ever given you any messages related to your agoraphobia? "Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind" - Albert Einstein
"The Mighty One appears, the horizon shines. Atum appears on the smell of his censing, the Sunshine- god has risen in the sky, the Mansion of the pyramidion is in joy and all its inmates are assembled, a voice calls out within the shrine, shouting reverberates around the Netherworld." - Egyptian Book of the Dead
"Man fears time, but time fears the Pyramids" - 9th century Arab proverb

Very good question Global. I'd also like to hear a response about that Let the Tao flow through you. Be the embodiment of it so throughout, that when passed by on the street they say, "Look! There goes Dao!"

The agoraphobia causes anxieties which is stopping me breaking through at the moment and it's hard to relax enough to attempt it. A few weeks ago I was alone in the house and felt pretty relaxed, threw the cat into the other room and crashed on the couch with a packed bowl of changa. Took a few big hits and ended up seeing the door to hyperspace but I just couldn't get through... Next time I feel that relaxed i'm determined to breakthrough
