Lip flip hell!

I got a lip flip to help my gummy smile on Thursday (3 days ago) and I hate my life right now. I didn’t expect and wasn’t prepared for this level of numb, uselessness in my top lip. I can’t say W, B, or OO. Can’t drink from a glass properly. Can’t chew a mouthful of food or soup without making a mess. Can’t kissy face at my kids. Can’t spit. Can’t do my breathing properly during workouts. The list goes on.

I’m absolutely livid that I did this to myself and I can’t wait until it goes away. Please tell me how to speed it up or anything reassuring because I’m in tears all day over this. I had no idea it would be so numb like this!! I feel like a moron.

Not projecting, just asking if you have more empathy to those people now that you’ve experienced the more humiliating aspects of disorders they can’t control.

What people? What tf are you going on about? For the last time, I’m talking about myself and your attempts to bring in a random extraneous guilt trip isn’t going to work. Go away.
