I could use some feedback on anxiety issues. (lemm.ee)

2 years ago I had had a break down. I started having panic attacks and I would grind my teeth a bit. Eventually I shattered a tooth. Two years later and a root canal that tooth is causing issues due to an infection. I have a check up on it in a month. It's not really painful, but it's a grim reminder of all the issues I had.

I am a significant amount better than before. Meds and therapy helped a lot. But this tooth reminds me of a time where I was a wreck. It's not a fun feeling. And I don't know what happens next. I never got a tooth pulled for example, I don't know what to expect.

Has anyone beaten anxiety issues? Will I be like this forever?

Edit: Went to my dentist, they looked at it, they are sending me to a specialist tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Edit 2: got scheduled for surgery today, they think they can save the tooth.

Edit 3: Surgery was not that bad.

Much appreciated. What kind of cardio?

I've found some ellipticals at the gym work best for me. I like running outside too but I'm picky about the weather. Indoor biking works for me too sometimes. You should find something you can tolerate though. It's more important to find something that works for you that you are ok with than anything else. If you are more social you can try kickboxing or dance. Rowing machines and swimming are also pretty good workouts. A lot of it depends on what you have available to you, the climate you live in, and what you like.

Well, it's cold right now. But cold doesn't bother me much
