Today I went to the ear doctor to see why I've been going through an on-going cycle of severe ear pain. Instead of getting a hearing test, I came back out of the office knowing that I have some kind of hopefully not too serious anxiety disorder along with a TMJ ( Temporomandibular joint) disorder. So I admit, I do develop serious anxiety easily and tend to keep too many of the little worries inside of me that eventually lead me to my unbreakable habits of teeth grinding and jaw clenching often. All I was told to do was to relax and free all my worries and stress. We'll see how that works out because I realized that I have plenty of stress balls to squeeze at home. Well, whoever is reading this, I hope this doesn't make you look at me any differently. I may be seriously crazy, but I'm really not that troubled. Honestly...
