Dental and Mental Health

Hello everyone, My name is Terry Kill, I am 47 years old and have had a very hard life; making many bad decisions along the way up until 2007. Along with those destructive behaviors came the consequences of ill health, all other consequences I have been able to make amends, gratefully and respectfully so. When I was very young and in grade school I was an angry child and somewhat of a bully, strangely enough though I was not liked by anybody that I can recall, I say strangely because I was friendly to many people but those that were my "friends" well they used me. Anyway, one day on the playground I was tripped and broke out my left front upper tooth, I think I was about eight years old. All these years without my dad, which is why I was angry and lost and now this broken front tooth gave me the nickname Scary Terry. My future just got worse from there both mentally and physically. I have since 2007 repented (did an about face) in my life and have made admends whenever possible except when to do so would cause futher harm. I have worked hard on myself to become socially acceptable; gotten and education in business (a Bachelors Degree) and been involved in as much community and church as possible. I still struggle with mental health issues such as interpersonal communication but have excelled in this area, however my self worth and confidence continues to take a beating as I find my self unable to communicate my skills with confidence, and I deal with this missing front tooth, as if that weren't enough I have progressively been losing teeth at about three a year. Irreversible damage as the center of my teeth are rotting, I know that sound gross and it is and I am so embarrassed. I am reaching out to the world at large to help me fund getting my mouth fixed so I can smile with confidence and feel healthy. Dental hygeine is important to overall health and I believe the constant fatigue I deal with daily, and it is severe, I feel well for about three hours out of my day, the rest is drudging along and not enjoying life. I am so sorry about the sad sad story and I am not asking for any pity I truely deserve my consequences, but I believe there is a way out and it is possible to change one's life around and become valuable. But there is also only so much a person can do if they have limitations as I do the rest is dependant on others choosing to accept and work with that person. Aside from that I cannot afford the dental services I need I can only wait until my teeth get bad enough then I can have them pulled. I am already having difficuly eating and chewing as many of my back teeth are already gone. So, with all of that being said friends I would be using any money given to repair my mouth which in turn would give me more confidence and much better health as I finish off this last run in service to my community. Thank you for listening and may God bless you all. Thanks Terry Kill
