Feel so ashamed, why did this happen?

I have had many back experiences over the years with dentists, started as a child, first filling, no anaesthetic, it really hurt and the nurse pinned me down in the chair.
More bad experiences over the years. Now gone private, found a lovely dentist, great.
Had a small filling last week, ok, today had another filling on tooth next to it and went into meltdown. My hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably, I started to feel lightheaded and my body was trembling. Both the nurse and dentist immediately stopped, they looked shocked, was able to continue and I spoke about my bad experiences, dentist suggested I bring my iPhone next time and listen to music when I have treatment.
Feel ashamed as I'm a woman in my 40's not a child and do not know why this happened. I felt calm to begin with, completely chilled, then once she started drilling I lost it.

You shouldn't be ashamed. We all have our kryptonite. You had a terrible experience as a child and it came back to haunt you later. That does happen. Turn on any TV drama and somebody will have a bad flashback.

What you should do is prepare yourself. The dentist was right about the music which can calm you, and can go over the sound of the drill.

  • Why did this happen to my computer? Ok so the weirdest thing happened. I rarely ever use my computer but this morning I did just up put music into my iPhone than I shut it down and put it away later today I brought it back out but it wouldn't turn on! It would start to reboot than just stop! Why is this this randomly happening my computer has worked PERFECT before infact I don't even use it. I only use to put music into my iPod which is like 1 every 2 months what do you think happened?
  • What would happen if I did this? I'm leasing my iPhone 6 (making payments to pay it off) through sprint for the next year and half. I still owe a little over $100 for my iPhone 6 with Sprint. What would happen if I switched to MetroPCS without paying a cancellation fee and paying the phone off? Is there any way I can pay it off now?
  • Should this be something to be ashamed of? I have an IPOD touch 5 and a iPhone 3G And ima 14year old girl. We were standing there and I was on my IPOD and a girl Said is that an iPhone 5? And the boy that bully's me said "it's an IPOD touch 5… She's a cheapo she can't afford it"
  • If you've ever been cheated on, how did you feel and what did you do? I've never caught a partner cheating on me yet, but I think if I did I would have to cause them a lot of problems. What did you do about a cheating partner?
