The last few dental check ups/cleanings I’ve had, I’ve been so anxious as I’ve sat down in the dentist’s chair that I have come over all nauseous and ended up gagging before anything has even touched my mouth 
this is so embarrassing and makes starting/completing the appointment really hard. I then have to wait and calm down before we can get on with things but the whole time I’m fighting the nauseous feelings, with my heart racing, trying not to gag again. I want to call my GP to ask if I can have something to calm me down before I go in, so I’m not so nervous I feel sick - but I feel anxious to even do that… I’ve got a double appointment next Wednesday for a hygienist clean and then a check up with the dentist and it’s all I can think about, I am dreading it so much. I’ve been prescribed diazepam before for a long flight as flying also makes me so anxious I feel sick, and it worked really well and I’d feel so much better about going to the dentist if I knew I had a handle on my anxiety. I feel like an idiot for feeling this way which is making asking for help really tricky. Someone give me a kick up the arse to call the doctors or tell me to get myself together and stop being a wimp at the dentist
