Pretty anxious for extractions in 3 days 🥴

Hey everyone. So, story time

A week and a half ago I woke up in the middle of the night to some pretty bad pain in my lower right. Never had pain there before (35m). Next night the same thing only excruciating pain. Worst pain I've ever had in my life honestly but it goes away after an hour or so. So I decide to call my dentist but its MLK Jr day so they're closed. Call the local OMFS and they get me in the next day for consultation.

Well the pain doesn't come back the day of my appointment. OMFS looks at me and says the bottoms are partial bony (w/e that means) and schedules me for 9 days out. Says I sedation with numbing and 45 minutes and I'll be done.

I've never had any sedation and I have only been poked once in my adult life. To give blood. That didn't go well at all. Almost fainted.

So here I am. No pain since before the initial visit and wondering why I'm even doing this. Having horrible anxiety. Can't eat. Barely social at all. Distancing myself from my wife and just being a grumpy a$$hole.. I know I'm going to just go through with the extractions since 1. I already paid half and picked up my post op prescription and 2. the pain that 2nd night was something I never want to feel again.

I'm just a nervous wreck. I hate needles. I hate not being my normal self. The recovery is annoying me already but I'm most anxious about the morning of. The process of sedation. The pain initially from the extractions. I think I'll be ok to adapt to the recovery timeline my body sets for me but that is kinda stressful too.

I guess I'm posting to look for some words of encouragement. Some like stories. Something to ease my anxiety. Anything!
