Overwhelmed

Venting

I've been really struggling lately with taking care of myself and my space. I'm pretty sure it's because I'm trying to get some medical stuff figured out rn and I'm being bounced between like 5 different specialists and I have multiple dr appointments every week and I'm in school rn and I'm working basically full time. Sometimes I really just think it would be easier to just ignore all my responsibilities and just stay in bed until I rot. That's not really useful though. I'm just so tired of having things to do every second of every day and I had a dentist appointment earlier this week and it was a new dentist, same location and I already have a lot of anxiety around dentists. My teeth are never good but are also never really bad and they were about the same as the last time I saw my dentist but this new dentist told me that I needed to be doing more of everything and like I know that but she didn't say why or try to figure out why I'm not brushing or flossing or anything. She also told me she needs to see me again in 3 months instead of my usual 6 months and I already hate going to the dentist twice a year idk if I can do 4 times a year. And also I had to leave work early the other day because my chronic illness was flaring and now one of my bosses knows I have medical issues and he's been treating me differently lately and idk how to feel about it cause I'm pretty sure he's trying to be helpful but it kinda feels like he's babying me but I'm also pretty sure that's just my brain overreacting.

Anyways sorry for the wall of text I just needed to get that off my chest
