It always feels like itâs going to be wayyy more debilitating than it actually is. Itâs funny because in the moment itâs so frustrating and I beat myself up like wow Iâm so impatient why didnât I just wait like great now my tongue is going to feel weird/hurt for the next few days blah blah blah⊠but I swear like 30 minutes later I completely forget about it. Itâs funny because it doesnât even hurt that badly, Iâm just usually upset by the inconvenience it presumably will cause for the next few days, but I actually canât remember a time when it has lasted more than a few hours. A good reminder that we tend to remember the bad things in life way more than the good things (negativity bias), which cause our anxieties to become heightened in preparation for when we think bad things might take place, but more often than not, nothing bad happens, or if it does, itâs not that bad. Try to focus on the good!
