Venting I have a break from mental pain by having massive gum inflammation

Yuhuuuu!!! I'm so lucky!

Schopenhauer's got a quote for that!

If we are in great bodily pain, or the pain lasts a long time, we become indifferent to other troubles; all we think about is to get well. In the same way great mental suffering makes us insensible to bodily pain; we despise it; nay, if it should outweigh the other, it distracts our thoughts, and we welcome it as a pause in mental suffering. It is this feeling that makes suicide easy; for the bodily pain that accompanies it loses all significance in the eyes of one who is tortured by an excess of mental suffering.

Oh no, you poor thing. My Grandma used to suffer terribly with her health. Mainly digestion issues. She got a nosebleed one day and said: 'variety is the spice of life.' Impressive when you can bring dark humour to shitty situations. I hope it gets better soon. Do you have a good dentist?

I can't afford dentists. Nor do I think they can lessen the pain as is now. All they offer is surgeries to fix things long term, but I can't afford that right now nor do I have the mental energy to mentally prepare for one of these expensive and invasive surgeries. I cannot even take morphine because I'm a former opioid abuser and fear relapse. So I'll just enjoy the pain.

Sounds awful though. I hate toothache. Can you get Corsodyl medicated mouthwash there? The original one. Not the mint one. Tastes disgusting but I've found it's helped me with tooth/gum problems. Just don't use it too often (apparently.)

Thank you for the suggestion. I looked up Corsodyl and we have it in my country. My mom just gave me something similar, but if that doesn't work I might buy Corsodyl tomorrow.
