I’m fixing it by going to therapy and am learning avenues to move forward happy. I would recommend you do the same even if you don’t think you have something mentally wrong, your happiness is important and thoughts like these can spiral out of control without you realizing it.
FWIW I had the same problem (receding gums) and improving my flossing even a little has helped.
I’m excited to be here since it feels like the old reddit community, which I missed over time. I’m just kind of tired of what reddit become as a platform and as a community. It was so nice early on, but as it gained popularity just became more toxic in various ways.
kind of hope the political discussions stay in their respective communities. I agreed with most or really almost all of reddit’s hivemind, but was so tired of seeing some comparison to politics in every single subreddit, even some of my more niche ones.
i bought like a $20 small wall mounted trash can from ikea and mounted it in our mud room. it’s great for throwing something away when coming in or out, and also is next to our washer and dryer so all our lint goes there too.
I had someone walk me through simple things like changing out light switches or light fixtures, but I won’t go beyond that. That still even makes me nervous sometimes.
I feel you, I’ve been feeling similar lately too, I think it’s something a lot of people go through so just know you aren’t alone. I guess what I’m trying to say in my previous comment is that a common stigma is this:
I get that you might not feel that way, but it kind of seems like you have some stuff weighing you down somewhere in there. Even if it isn’t obvious I just think having a therapist to talk to would really help. IMO it’s good even if someone doesn’t think anything is wrong and is perfectly happy. It’d be good just to maintain that!
