Yesterday and today I've had some nasty tooth pain. All my front teeth, top and bottom. It's kind of a dull ache that worsens when I breathe in through my mouth, and reminds me of the kind of pain I had when my braces would get tightened. I'm not sure what to do about it.
That coupled with my revelations/breakdown today and I'm struggling. Things that I've noticed I do:
- I stare at the clock and try to justify eating. It's been ___ hours since I've eaten, I get to eat again, instead of being actually hungry. (Only right now I really am hungry but don't know what I can eat without aggravating the pain.) - I think that the tooth pain is a GOOD thing because it will keep me from eating as much and maybe if this keeps up I'll lose some weight.
And I know that both of these things are disordered ways of thinking, on two different ends of the spectrum.
